What’s one question you could ask to know if someone is on your level? For me, it’s “Do you write in Markdown?”

So thrilled with all this snow! ❄️

Here’s @siracusa@mastodon.social and Dan Benjamin talking 10 years ago about iPhone 5’s new lightning connector… I have bad news… overcast.fm/+3EXptJOd…

Had a pleasant run tonight through holiday lights with the nicest group in Lake Placid, the ADK Run Club. Followed by beer, cookies, and fellowship – I look forward to every Tuesday.

With so much interest and excitement around Mastodon clients coming from superb longtime developers, I wonder if @manton and team will reconsider Micro.blog compatibility?

Will third -party Mastodon clients work with Micro. blog?
Not currently. We might consider this later, but because of the UI differences, it’s better to have third-party apps designed for either Micro.blog or IndieWeb standards.

For Micro Monday, I recommend checking out @gr36. He’s writing about, well, writing. But also small insights into his life, classic of personal blogs that I’ve gravitated toward lately. He’s also sharing handy tools for micro.blog itself.

Okay, this is pretty wild. Apparently macOS remains completely usable with Sidecar, even when in the iPadOS app switcher UI! Smallest Mac screen you’ve ever seen?

Release the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID in black/silver without the numeric pad, you cowards!

I’ve enjoyed short naps most afternoons this week. Gets me feeling refreshed for the evening. Then, of course, I’m up till 4 AM…so there’s that.

I’m so tired of fighting Pocket to display my name as the author of my posts. I’ve tried meta tags, rel=“me” links, everything. Right now, it thinks “good ol' email” is the author because I have that phrase linked to a mailto: address. 🤦‍♂️

You know you’re behind on podcasts when you’ve got two episodes of Cortex in the queue.

He likes to be involved. 📷

Rollin’! 📹 🚲

Sleepy dog. 📷

A thing of beauty atop a thing of horror. 😆 📷

Little family. 🥰 📷

It’s one of my favorite days of the year: Christmas Tree Chopin’ Day! 📷

Had some great runs today on a ghost town of a mountain. Finally skied from the Whiteface summit, and tested out a pair of DPS Wailers. Pretty surfy skis for the wet and compacted conditions, but still so much fun. Btw, you gotta check out the Slopes app

Alone on the lift.

I’m apparently very consistent in my photo-posting habits. 10 years apart, to the day. 😆

It’s probably not new, but this is the first I’ve noticed these little shortcuts in the Live Text view of a screenshot. Handy!

Screenshot UI with shortcuts buttons at the bottom to send an email or visit URLs identified in the text.

Just had my M1 Mac mini crash on me. First time ever. It was startling. 💻 😳

I resented the time change and its early darkness because it stole from my outdoor adventuring time. But I’m starting to appreciate the time it’s given back to me to focus on other projects, like jumping back into writing and coding. 📝

It’s too bad that the tool and community that so many of us loved has had to suffer to teach someone a very expensive lesson about the consequences of trolling.
