There was a boy reading the Bible next to the drinking fountain. Standing and waiting.

Have completed downloading all the backups for a site I’m taking over for an organization. It was a WP site and I’m making something new, entirely static HTML with a Go backend to do some extra work.

I’m making the program for my daughter’s violin recital as a webpage in HTML and CSS. Which is fun times.

The buildup toward Lila’s wedding is getting unbearably tense. I can’t wait to see what happens!

I want my super power to be attaching a tracking device to an object just by looking at it from a distance

Who is the political consultant that suggested to so many candidates to go with the green yard sign? Is it an attempt to avoid classic red and blue?

Claude is my skeleton key LLM. When I encounter an issue that none of the others can tackle, I go to old Claude, and it usually solves it.

Browser windows, for me, are like pieces of paper on a desk—not full screen objects occupying ones whole view—snapshots of the mind at work, to be moved around in space as needed.

Today I saw a cyclist wearing a yellow vest and listening to The Verve Pipe on a speaker.

Today I saw a cyclist ride by wearing a yellow vest and listening to The Verve Pipe.

How early would I have to get up and take a walk for it not to feel as if I was putting you out or abandoning you to handle routines?

Is it possible that the only social media I need are the NYer letters to the editor?

According to the NWS (their Ft Worth office has the URL /fwd, which is odd, since this area is most commonly known as DFW), there are possibly storms developing today, but “a stout capping inversion will keep most locations dry!”

If you still believe, as I do, that having the right notebook is a contigency for getting stuff done, then continue to be convinced and in denial of your correcness, as I do.

A quick memory: back around a decade ago (a decade is 10 years) I was in charge of music at a church. That is called being “a worship pastor.” I was not very comfortable with that title, for reasons I can get into another time. I went through a trend of having the musicians play with a supplemental backing of pre-recorded music during church. The intent was to fill out our rather small lineup and provide a “bigger sound.” Feels like Spinal Tap just typing it out. Well, I myself would create these “backing tracks” on my computer at home—playing extra guitar parts, programming in extra drums, adding transition effects, adding the occasional frizzy keyboard arp part. I would usually wake up between 4 and 5 AM to put the finishing touches on the “backing track.” I put the team through a lot to make this work — and from where I now stand, it feels misguided and selfish.

In the battle of who could care less today: let us consider Stipe v Yorke. More to come on that topic tomorrow, when I’ve my wits about me.

Google is making it very obscure and hoop jumpy to find the Drive app for macOS these days. The install link is buried on the only support page I could find.

Spring break travels. Exhausted from driving - but only halfway there. Had perhaps our longest ever stretch of no stops on a trip.

Back browsing the discs at our local library since the DVD player in the van is now working, and also because we now have a PS4 at home. All of a sudden I was flooded with memories of checking out entire series at a time - and discovering that our library actually has quite a few things I’ve been wanting to watch.

I’m discovering more and more that I like to hear the news, in a podcast or the radio, and I like to read stories. I don’t like to cross the streams. My brain and heart need to keep each cordoned off from the other.

I’ve been running away from the humble web browser for a long time. Trying to do everything In App. In a native app or bust. But maybe returning to the browser is worth a try. Have a tab group that contains the best 6 or 7 sites I care about.

Lunch out today, using a 14 month old gift card. There was a crying 14 month old at the restaurant. But the fries were good, although I overlooked that they cost $2.99 for the garlic upgrade - an oversight about which I will be silently lashing myself for the rest of the day. I didn’t need the buttery garlic topping that much.

The rain this morning quit just as I reached the corner. But I doubt I’ll luck out this afternoon with the 50 mph wind gusts.
