Citrus superjuice. Probably a good thing to have on hand for parties!

New federal income tax credits are available through 2032 providing up to $3,200 annually to lower the cost of energy efficient home upgrades by up to 30 percent. Improvements such as installing heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, insulation, doors and windows, as well as electrical panel upgrades, home energy audits and more, are covered by the tax credits and can help families save money on their monthly energy bills for years to come.

In addition to the energy efficiency credits, homeowners can also take advantage of the modified and extended Residential Clean Energy credit, which provides a 30 percent income tax credit for clean energy equipment, such as rooftop solar, wind energy, geothermal heat pumps and battery storage through 2032, stepping down to 22 percent for 2033 and 2034.

Snow day!

First major snow of the year!

This is great news! This is something that I sorely missed in the template editor. Nice to have that history and be able to roll back changes. Even more important for client sites.

I made it to Moonburger over the weekend, the place in Kingston that only makes burgers with Impossible meat. They aren’t a vegan place, though: The cheese is real dairy.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had an Impossible burger, but it was my first Impossible smashburger. It was good! It won’t fool you if you taste test next to a beef burger (smashburgers made with beef render a lot of fat and you can taste it), but it is a good burger on its own. The toppings definitely help. Heck, their toppings alone put them above a lot of burger places, beef or not. We liked the fries with cheese sauce, too.

I think if we were closer I’d probably get it over a regular burger ~20% of the time.

Sandra Boynton is a big hit in our house, too!

Indie bookstore score today: Full Sandman series, each book signed by Gaiman, at regular retail price.

I’ve only ever checked these out of the library, so I’m stoked to have the full set on my shelf now.

Noticed an AI button in my email app today. Wasn’t expecting that! Not seeing any announcements about it on Airmail’s social or website. Am I opted in to beta features?

I don’t think I’ll use it. I try to use email as little as possible.

20 years later, Less Than Jake’s Anthem album holds up. I remember my older cousins being skeptical when it came out because they liked their earlier albums and were worried it wouldn’t be as good.

Tonight’s tiki drink: Chartreuse Swizzle. Quite good with my homemade falernum. https://imbibemagazine.com/recipe/chartreuse-swizzle-recipe/

Ah, thanks for pointing me to the GitHub issue! I weighed in on the conversation, offering an option to reintroduce the Classic functionality without needing to make it a dynamic block by not updating the order in the editor. https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/9701#issuecomment-1441197733

I got a Sainlogic, the wifi-enabled version. It does temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, pressure, humidity, UV and light. It was a birthday present so I didn’t pick it, but it seems to be working well so far. The app is horrible and I had to think like a QA person to finally get it connected to the internet, but once I got it set up it has been working well. I also started syndicating the data from Wunderground to WeatherCloud, PWS Weather, Windy, WindGuru, and OpenWeatherMap using this nifty script.

I think the next thing I’d like to add to the setup is an air quality monitor.

The Tempest ones look pretty cool and seem to have the best app.

TIL about Portokalopita, a Greek cake made with phyllo, oranges, and yogurt. Syrupy and delicious. Bookmarked a recipe for making at home later.

I wonder what it would take to add a random order option to the Gallery block on WordPress? It is one of the few things I miss about the Classic editor.

I got a weather station for my birthday and am now quickly falling down the rabbit hole. Hooked it up to Wunderground and WeatherCloud, and exploring ways to forward that data to other networks.

I can think of a lot of ways to use this nifty little macro keyboard in my daily workflow. A friend sent me a photo of one on his desk today and I’m very tempted to get one.

It is ridiculous that my toddler’s room is the tidiest room in the whole house. Probably because he spends so little time in there.

When AI is good enough to automate most information worker tasks, what will happen to the price of those services? Sam Altman thinks that the cost of manual labor will rise relative to digital labor. He is probably right, but I think there will be a new tier of information work that continues to have a high price: Concierge-style services, or people willing to pay extra to work with a human on a particular task instead of AI. Of course, the concierge might still use AI on the backend.

Good thing I enjoy woodworking and can fall back on that. Though I work on a digital concierge team right now focusing on WordPress, so maybe I’m covered either way. (And we do use things like ChatGPT and Copilot to accomplish some of our tasks… maybe the future is already here.)
