TIL “laser” is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. I learned this in a children’s book I was reading to Charlie. I guess this is common knowledge, and today I’m one of the lucky 10,000.

More Arc features I found today that I like:
- If you click a link in a pinned tab, it shows you a preview in a lightbox instead of automatically opening that link. (Links in unpinned tabs work exactly as you’d expect).
- Command + Shift + C copies the current URL, and they try to strip tracking info off.
- Air Traffic Control lets you decide which space a link opens in. For example, all WordPress.com URLs now open for me in my Automattic space.

I made a bottle of this Black Christmas last December and only drank half of it, but kept the other half in the fridge for the past year. Decided to have some tonight and it is smoother and more complex after aging.

Thinking about self hosting this to turn newsletters into RSS feeds.
I could also take Chris Hardie’s approach and use WordPress for this.

The V-seal weather stripping I put up over the weekend fell off sometime overnight 🤦♂️
I guess I’ll go with the weatherseal tape again. It doesn’t look as nice, but it works.

Peekskill Brewing is closing. I’m sad about that because we go there frequently, and did so even before moving to Peekskill in 2019. It is in a great location and has kid-friendly outdoor seating, which has been a livesaver for us and our friend group.
I can’t help but think that one of the main contributing factors has been the decline in food quality and wait staff post-COVID. Pre-COVID the food was excellent and seasonal. Now it seems like everything is pre-made and reheated from US Foods.
I’m sorry the current owners couldn’t make it. I hope someone buys it quickly and reopens by spring. Maybe Hudson Valley Brewing or Sloop?
edit: Upon reflection, it is more accurate to say decline in service rather than wait staff. No one has ever been rude to us there, they just always seem understaffed and have high turnover and are constantly training new people who don’t know the ropes yet.

I think the most interesting and experimental sites on the web right now are digital gardens. So full of unique individual expression, interests, ideas, and life.
Three quarters of the sites in the last 6 months where I’ve thought “woah, this is cool!” have been digital gardens. They give me hope for the future of the web.
