  • On a walk in the woods I came across some atypical daffodils. I think they might be called Double Daffodils?

  • Today was the day of too much paperwork. Taxes, filing reimbursements, bill payments, getting quotes on solar panel installation, quotes on life insurance, and estate planning documents. I’m exhausted.

  • All I really want to say about emdash is that it took me a good 30 minutes to figure out it isn’t an April Fool’s joke, and that is only because an insider vouched for it. Doesn’t pass the smell test otherwise.

  • Pretty cool to watch the Artemis II launch live on TV with Amanda and Charlie! From a TV at a car dealership no less.

  • Tied some Synthetic Clousers tonight. Striped bass on the brain.

  • Currently running WordPress 7.0 beta 5. So far so good!

  • Questions from your kid that make you nervous:

    “Daddy, have you seen the creepy eyeball in the sky?”

    Queue trying to hold it together while you calmly ask follow up questions.

  • It was better when we didn’t know Banksy’s mortal identity.

  • Trying to force the rhubarb.

  • Hot coffee take: Jamaican Blue Mountain is overrated and over priced.

    That’s pretty much why Dealgorithmed exists: to prove that the human internet is not, in fact, dead. And that the web is also not filled with just bots posting AI slop. Don’t get me wrong, there’s P L E N T Y of that, but there’s also more than that.

    Looking forward to this new newsletter from Manu Moreale.

  • Likes Ancient Shores of Lake Erie by NOAA Institutional Repository.

    My parents live about 500 yards below the old North Ridge of Lake Erie and I wanted to know how long ago that was the shore. Answer: Roughly 10,000 years ago. This doc has a lot of interesting info on the ancient shores of Lake Erie.

    I’ve often wondered what the empty lot on the Hastings waterfront is and why is hasn’t been developed or turned into a park. Old industrial site loaded with PCBs.
