Yes, this is what we need. More horsepower and top speeds that do no one any good. I’m so tired of the American car industry and their constant push to kill us all under the guise of “performance”.

Thee SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD I’ve been using for backups just …. Stopped working. Apparently a known issue.. joy.
Happy Monday!

Happily glamping this weekend in a rented, fully stocked camper at a campground with showers. Throw all the “but it’s not camping” shade you want, we’re within easy walking distance of a brewery and I need a weekend off.

Laptop wasn’t charging so I swapped out the USB cable and now it is. So apparently I have a charging cable when I really needed a CHARGING cable. Thanks USB.

I've been enjoying getting back into radio listening through the Triode iOS app. Curated music from KEXP, The Current, and others has been refreshing. What's frustrating is capturing some of this new music to explore later. Shazam seems my only option.

Yeah, I think I’ll go back to iPhone 1.

I am so happy that my favorite downtempo group Boozoo Bajou have put out an extended mix version of their latest album:

My 2023 music stats on
@lastfm were okay. It’s a pretty accurate summary I think. Almost beat @adactio but certainly not @zeldman who somehow plays 8 songs at a time 24/7/365!
Lovely time of day graph.

It’s Friday night, the first day of my holiday vacation, and I’m sitting here drinking a Lucky Irishman and trying to work out how to convert an RSS OPML file output into a Jekyll data file. As one does.

I thought I would run down all the changes to my personal tech stack this year so that next year I can look back and see what stuck and what I ditched. Hardware + software.

Had an idea for social #rss recently based on how Delicious bookmarks used to work.

1. The ability to follow others to see their feeds and/or favorites
2. Allow your RSS feeds to be seen by others so they can choose to subscribe to those feeds
3. Or choose only certain folders or your starred items to be visible
4. Some level of private vs public, choose to allow who can see your stuff
5. Public shares, feeds and starred items, could be bubbled up to show popular posts and feeds. Similar to HN

Me: “whoa. What about a company that cleans gutters AND puts up Christmas lights??‽”
Aidan: “yeah, they already do that”
Me: “really?”
Aidan: “oh, yeah.”

There should be a name for when an #RSS feed you follow suddenly spits out the last few months of posts. RSS Burp?

Oh, don’t you try to convince me to take a nap, I’ll never get back out of bed.

…until like 10pm.

Two things in my #RSS feed today that struck me. Tesla had a software bug affecting brake fluid, and Rivian put out a software update to improve towing. In addition to tracking us in very uncomfortable ways, cars are now just rolling computers. With all the same bugs and issues our laptops and phones have.

I appreciate my dumb 1997 Land Cruiser more each day.
