North side of Mount Hood last month.

I have questions.

A small weathered wooden cabinet with four glass panes contains a variety of books and a box of Padagis Naloxone nasal spray for emergency treatment of opioid overdose.

I’m always surprised when I don’t see a TV in front of a couch these days.

A green sofa is placed on a patch of dirt and gravel in an open field with trees in the background.

I think I found my new favorite way to get protein! 🤔

An Income Tax Cocktail recipe is displayed, listing ingredients, directions, and nutrition facts. Most importantly the nutritional facts state this cocktail has 12 grams of protein. Obviously it is inaccurate.

Jazzed to be here

Roderick Fortunate enough to have an amazing logging road nearby that I ride a lot. Today it took me above the clouds and provided a stellar view!

As much as my family loves spiders I’m surprised our house doesn’t look like this.

Our neighborhood is getting a little wild these days.

A deer is walking on a suburban sidewalk near a grassy lawn with a decorative wind chime and potted plants visible in the foreground.

Less than a month from my last puncture. If you were wondering, this is horribly inefficient (and costly) way to cleaning bike lanes.

This brought a ride to an abrupt end. I am not a fan of bike lanes…at least when they are rarely cleaned.

New Season’s (local grocery store) had their annual 50% of chocolate sale.

Paper cut example…and Apple has thousands. Sigh.

Being in the zone can be amazing…but not necessarily healthy.

Apple stand activity showing only 4 hours at 5:33 PM; not healthy.

My reward after making four Neapolitan and two Detroit style pizzas in the Ooni for my son’s LAN party.!

I don’t mind trying new espresso gadgets, especially when they are inexpensive, but I’m surprised by those that speak highly of puck screens. The extreme muting of flavors outweigh any potential upsides in my opinion. ☕️

Oct Tue

My teenage son released his first game on the App Store: Jem Junction. He has really enjoyed learning how to develop a game. I cannot believe the self-discipline he has demonstrated. He definitely got that from his mother. :)

Can’t remember the last time I was so nervous to “deploy” a change as updating MX records. Just successfully (I believe) moved off of Google onto Fastmail.

Yes that is doggie drool

I can just about touch it. 📷🌈

Oct Tue

Was so excited that Apple Music finally had a Discovery Station, but after listening to hundreds (let’s say N) of songs, I have clicked Suggest Less probably N-2 times and never Love. Will it ever be half as good as Spotify!?

Sep Wed

La Marzocco USA is the first website that I’ve seen have a screensaver-like feature. After having their site open in a tab for maybe 5-10 minutes this is displayed to the user. Are there other sites that do this? If so, please share!

Random cables, adapters and stuff in my home office that will soon be out of my life. #declutter

It wasn’t intentional but this was the first photo from the iPhone 15 Pro

It’s new Apple product day…woohoo!

Aug Wed

Spent some time this morning revisiting CSS-in-JSS options. Tired of the overhead (and limitations) of CSS modules in React apps which often leads me to use inline styles which makes me sick to my stomach. :) What are others doing in this space?

Aug Thu

The Readwise Reader web app is a rare example where it is superior to the iOS/iPadOS version. What are some other examples?

If you happen to find yourself in Southeast Iowa near the almost non-existent town of Ainsworth, wet your whistle at Leroy Brown’s…it is worth the stop.

It may be hot outside, but not afraid to kick it up a few notches.
