A moment of silence for the people on low-carb diets…
So cool… Saving this to try out on my blog later. Matt Webb has “collaborative cursors” on his blog, so you can see other visitors' cursors and chat with people who are currently on the same page. I love that he hangs out on his home page and says “hi” to people sometimes.
Is it better to be a cowardly lion or a brave chicken?
My favorite doctor appointments are the ones where I wait forever, then the doctor comes in and says “After looking at your file, we can’t do anything until we run some tests. Schedule those and come back later”. /sigh
This seemed like it really hit the nail on the head. An insightful look at how “therapy culture” is imitating religion, but falling short.
Currently eating Chick-fil-A on a picnic blanket in the parking lot of a Barnes & Noble. I love Saturdays.
I recently started a tradition of working from a different coffee shop each Friday. Today’s Pumpkin Pie Latte was a nice complement to deep work ☕
Quests > Goals
This got me thinking about how I frame my objectives.
I replaced all the X-Large t-shirts in my closet with Large. I am surprised just how much better I’ve felt wearing clothes that fit right. I tried different options and ended up ordering 7 colors of the Next Level N6210. They’re cheap as dirt with an “athletic dad-bod” fit.
Moon, silent, alone.
“Arise, abyss!” she commands.
Dark depths stir to life.
I like when a bathroom has beautiful or insightful decor. I learned something new today about a train that debuted in 1936. Why did trains look so much cooler back then?
Our cucumbers are out of control. In one day we harvested six cucumbers, each bigger than my forearm. The situation is so dire that I’m having tajín-seasoned cukes with coffee for breakfast. 🥒☕
Sharing a gelato flight is a great way to cap off the evening.
“Children need to be used under adult supervision”
This made me laugh.
A while back I posted about Fed Meetup, the app I built that won an internal NASA challenge. Today I received my prize, a NASA@WORK sticker that flew on a SpaceX Dragon capsule that splashed down back in April! I have now committed myself to using this water bottle for life… 😅
Do you ever say something and then the gravity of what you just said hits you hard? I was chatting with a coworker preparing for retirement and casually mentioned that I have 30+ years left. 30+ years! What!? That’s a lot of time to make meaningful and good things. That’s the goal.
Added a colophon page. I wrote it in a who, what, when, where, and how format, and I like how it turned out. I haven’t seen others doing it this way. I considered adding a “why” section but decided against it. I’m not sure if the colophon is the right spot for that, but if not, then where?
Added a changelog to my blog. For now, it is very small and very meta. weidok.al/changelog…
I added a /chipotle page to my blog. I know this started as satire, but this might actually come in handy for me. weidok.al/chipotle/
scritch scratch swoop and slash
furious scribbles relent
taut hush, reflection
