microblogs

    Coffee and journals were made for each other. β˜• πŸ–‹οΈ

    A brown leather journal with a black pen clipped on, a Chemex pour-over and a coffee mug sit atop a brown wooden table.

    Spotted this during date night. A good omen?

    A book titled Born to Blog sits turned outward on a bookshelf in front of other books.

    “What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.”

    This is a big reason that I’ve been off of social media. The main thing I miss is keeping up with life updates from friends and family. Someone should build an AI that watches my social feeds and sends me a summarized weekly email of my friends' and family’s updates.

    I added a new option for subscribing to new posts on my Subscribe page. Now you can choose between subscribing only to long-form Articles or subscribing to all posts.

    This one gave me chills at the end. A wonderful piece by Henrik Karlsson. The third chair

    I’ve had a Now page for a bit now, but just had my site added to nownownow.com. Pretty neat that Derek curates this all himself. He seems like a kind and down-to-earth guy over email, which tracks with what I picked up from his site.

    I’m getting excited for this moon landing! Coverage has started: www.space.com/intuitive…

    Blog posts written by hand from prison, sent via snail mail, and scanned onto the web betweenthebars.org

    TajΓ­n ClΓ‘sico is a new staple in our kitchen. I’m putting it on everything. πŸ‹πŸŒΆοΈ

    My wife and I put together this little Atlantis so my little Saturn V has a buddy on the shelf now πŸš€

    I shared my article about my Obsidian Daily Note template on Reddit in the ObsidianMD community and got a really positive response. I was surprised how quickly people were already trying to incorporate changes into their workflow and had questions for me (I had never posted on Reddit before)! I even had one person (@amerpie) reach out individually to let me know the template had helped him, and came to find out he was a fellow resident of Micro.blog! The web is an awesome and positive place when you know where to look!

    Just added a Uses page to my blog! I linked to it from my About page but didn’t put it in the main nav. I hope to keep this relatively up-to-date, I’ll check in on it when I update my Now page roughly quarterly.

    Little Saturn V on display in my office. Let me tell you these mini Legos were a PAIN to put together!

    Six inch tall Lego model of a Saturn five rocket blasting off of a launch pad.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the Wizard of Oz Museum. The interactive experience room was pretty neat! Although I have to say I liked the Van Gogh experience and James Webb images a lot more than the actual Wizard of Oz experience 🀫

    Got a sneak peek behind the scenes at Blue Origin’s Orbital Launch System Manufacturing Facility where they are working on the New Glenn orbital rocket. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take pictures other than in the lobby, but there was a lot there! They had the first New Shepard rocket, which had 5 successful flights, on display. They also had a Blue Moon MK1 prototype on display. And lastly, they had a prototype for their New Shepard Crew Capsule.

    Spotted just inside the doors of the HQ building at Kennedy Space Center. The center’s namesake still inspires today.

    “Cloud Breaker”. A Falcon 9 1st Stage returning to land back at the Cape. Pretty amazing to get to see my first Falcon 9 launch for the PACE mission.

    This view complements coffee nicely. πŸŒ…β˜•

    Beautiful views from our place for the week.

    I had a blast touring the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex with family yesterday!
