🆕📝 7 Things This Week [#169]

I've been laid out by another sickness 🤧, so your 7 things are a day late.

Harlot (2/1/25) Fat, plastic ice today! Great conditions.

A climber wearing red ascends a vertical icy cliff using a rope in a snowy forest setting with bare trees surrounding the scene. Climber ascends frozen waterfall using ropes and crampons in a snowy, forested environment surrounded by bare and evergreen trees. A climber in a red jacket ascends a large ice formation while a person below belays. Snowy trees and a winter landscape surround them. A climber scales a vertical ice formation using a rope surrounded by bare trees against a cloudy sky.

Had my first very funny Apple Intelligence notification summary today. 😆

Notification from Jo states, “Fed the hobbits a second breakfast.” It’s displayed over a rainbow-striped background, with a small profile picture and message icon beside the text.

I love the @whiteface_mt uphill program for starting the day with a great morning workout even before lifts are going! Pretty awesome to ski the mountain with wide-open runs.

Steep ice and smiles last night at Pitchoff Quarry for Thursday Night Ice Club! Thanks to everyone who came out and put in some laps. ⛏️

B-T-dubs, for anyone suffering through using a Squarespace site (🙋‍♂️) and growing ever-more frustrated by the limitations of its iPadOS app, adding it to the Home Screen as a web app works surprisingly well. Now I’ve got an Invoices “app” that shows up that shows up in Spotlight/App Switcher!

🆕📝 Quick Tip: I just saved over $100 by checking a subscription’s hidden plan options

Apps often have way more, and cheaper, subscriptions plans than what's shown to you in the app. Check the app's subscription management page in the App Store to switch to something more affordable.

😮‍💨 And with that, I’m finally caught up on my timeline from the past week or so. Much of it was bleak and not super fun to read, but also filled with lots of gems and good people. I’d best get out of bed now.

I used to be frustrated by Micro.blog’s way of doing replies — it only tags the one person whose post you’re commenting on, rather than a “reply all” like Twitter did and Mastodon does. But I’ve come all the way around on it. Now it seems rude and unnecessary to auto-tag everyone on the thread.

📺 Finished watching: A.P. Bio (Season 1) on Netflix

A man playfully biting an apple is featured, with a classroom scene in the background. Review: Good god, this show makes me laugh! Glenn Howerton is at the top of his game here, but the students really bring it home. (Team Heather 🤣) Rating: Two thumbs up.

My nature as a completionist extended tonight to the jar of ghost pepper salsa. My pride is satisfied, but my taste buds and intestines would like to have some words. 🥵

🎶 I’m obviously biased, but I can highly recommend my Heavy Rotation playlist. It’s got some real bangers in it right now! 🤘

Got out for my first run of the year (I know, I know, I’m behind!) with the floofiest buddy in his little booties. Got in 7 miles in the 0-degree temps this morning. 🥶🏃‍♂️

🎙️ Oooh thanks @ChrisLawley@mastodon.social for this Shortcuts tip! I’d wondered if you could open web apps with it somehow.

Pretty stoked to say that I’ve already booked over 20 days of my own guided trips for this year, with a bunch of day trips and some overnighters! I’ll have to tally up each month to see how much I’m doing for Onward Mtn Guides vs. other outfits. This small business thing might work out after all! 🤞

🔊 Want a no-hassle wireless surround sound setup at 50% off? I’ve got a Sonos Beam (gen 2) and two Sonos One (gen 2) speakers up for sale. You’ve got a day or so head start (and free shipping!) before they go up on eBay and Marketplace. Everything’s in great shape and sound fantastic. 🙂
