So... I left Evernote months ago when they hiked their pro plan subscription (like 163% !) It was bloated, and their free plan was crippled; that + the company had been struggling for years to find a CEO who could bring some kind of vision back to the app. It all flopped and they were sold to Bending Spoons.

Over the ensuing months, I was fortunate to find a replacement! An Open Source, fully encrypted, Evernote killer. And what a note taking app it has become.

A major release (v3.0) was launched officially today. 8 months of non-stop development and testing by a two-man Dev team has really brought this app center stage. These guys are hands-on with listening to user feedback on their NN Discord server; when they find time to sleep beats me (the plight of the developer).
Read about this latest journey AND all of the great new features of v3.0 that are note-taking game changers, on their blog post:

You're going to hear more about Notesnook in the weeks and months to come and it won't be coming from me. It will be from a growing userbase that can't help but share the awesomeness that Notesnook brings to notetaking.

I'm seeing an uptick in discussion about #Thunderbird #email. I know it has come a long way, but there is still no Android app even though they targeted this past summer for release.
Has anyone done a complete migration from Gmail to Thunderbird? #FOSS

Did I mention our son graduated High School yesterday? 😄 He will be attending Michigan Tech University in the fall, studying #Mechanical #Engineering.

Did I mention it is an 8 hour drive, one way? 😬
That's 8 hours - one way - AND still staying within the same state. 😭

NeadReport, 1 month ago to books

I am just one chapter into Steven Wright's new novel "Harold" and I can't remember that last time I laughed so hard reading a book (probably never).
And yes, that Steven Wright, the deadpan comedian that Rolling Stone magazine once listed as the 15th funniest comedian of all time.

I noticed the following from a new Mastodonian profile:

"I collect pocket knives, flashlights and build high power 3d printed nerf guns" - @Trenchcoatfulloknafs

I am therefore obliged to summon all #edc #nerfgun #3dprint #blender3d enthusiasts to follow Brian and encourage him to share all good things EDC and 3D printing!

Mr. Baleno... I'll start you off with a recommendation to follow @3dprinting @3DPrintingDad

It's time to stop using #MicrosoftEdge. (Yet another reason I'm a #VivaldiBrowser user)

"Microsoft Edge now leaks the address of every web page you visit straight to Microsoft Bing. This appears to be a bug with one of the many extra features Microsoft has been cramming into Edge over the past few years. We’ve had enough."

NeadReport, 26 days ago to jazz

Not sure if there are any Latin/Jazz music lovers out there; I'm plugging my good friend, former college roommate, and fellow musician, Jon Ball as he joins
"Gonzalo Grau & La Clave Secreta" at the Lincoln Center in NYC!
This ~ 2 hour event will be live-streamed on the Lincoln Center website as well as YouTube (link below).
La Clave Secreta has been together for 15 years and their eclectic blend is son cubano, jazz, rhumba, R&B, and funk... so tune-in an turn it up! 7:30p EST ⟶ there's a countdown timer on the YouTube site that should align with anyone's time zone)
⟶ If you know someone who might like some free, live music streamed tonight, boost it out! ⟵

Drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie.
He's been a big influence on my playing over the years. Purdie has played on hundreds of albums - many you have heard.

Just two more days until I find out if my entry for "Name The Turkey Contest" is a winner. Michigan Governor Gretchen Witmer will pardon said bird on the 23rd.

I can't imagine there's a better name than Gobbles McTurken!

The best, lightweight pocket knife to get you through the day. Classic Victorinox.
I have the all-silver version* of this ditty. Slim, sharp, blade. Nail file & 2.5mm screwdriver, and spring loaded scissors (which I end up using more than the blade!) There's a ring to place it on your keychain, too.
