The new website for Career Minder is up. Now front and center is a letter from Mac and I explaining why we built it and what it can do for you. I find that writing is the best way to clarify thinking and this project has been no exception. Check it out and let me know what you think.
New camera this week. Why yes I’m taking pictures of everything in sight why do you ask?
Been learning Flutter recently. I’m getting comfortable with it, and it’s pretty fun!
I have yet to spell bureaucracy correctly the first time. I am convinced it is a law of nature, like gravity, or children and mis-paired socks.
Dune II was a riveting movie experience. Beautiful imagery that kept it weird. Similar to the books, this is one to digest a bit.
Got my computer glasses (readers but for arms length + a little, not Apple Vision Pro). My screen is so sharp now! Problem is, now I have to remember to swap frames when I get up from my desk. Between this and more frequent skin biopsies, my body is not letting me forget that I’m turning 40 this year.
Broke my rule of blocking comments on sites where I read things. Thought the comments on an article I enjoyed might be interesting. Past Noah blocking comments by default was smarter than present Noah.
Having an ER doc for a spouse is great for many reasons, one of which became apparent this week. Splitting your elbow open on a broken shelf in the shower and getting stitches at home instead of spending half the day in the urgent care is one benefit. So, those of you looking for spouses, there’s something to add to your list.
Kids have begun Christmas break. Anarchy reigns.
We finally get to see what Humane’s been working on. Pretty interesting. I‘m definitely curious to learn more.
There’s a new Ludovico Einaudi EP everyone!
Our tiny schnauzer was attacked by a coyote a couple of weeks ago. He escaped with some wounds, but will completely recover. The lesson I would hope he would come away with is, “There are creatures in this world I should not try to dominate.” The lesson it seems he has taken away is, “I have stared into the abyss and conquered. There is nothing I cannot bark into submission.”
The Creator is fantastic. A robot story with heart. The production design, cinematography, and imagery is next level amazing.
Waiting for the bus
Did you know you can select use the Safari tab group interface to copy links to all open tabs in the window into a list? I had assumed that I would need to do something in Automator/Shorcuts, but no. It’s built right in. That’s a sign of a good long running software project.
Been playing around with Medium Format film recently. It feels substantial, fun, and fulfilling.
My new iPhone purchase avoidance strategy is taking the case of my current phone. Feels brand new.
If your email’s unsubscribe link won’t open because my network’s ad blocking tech considers the url a bad actor, then I’m just marking as spam. Sorry.
Just when I needed some good focus music there’s a new Explosions in the Sky album!
There have been so many great Figma quality of life improvements over the last several months. What a great piece of software.
