Since I’m in Emacs most of the time anyway, I thought it would be useful to use Elfeed for reading RSS feeds. It didn’t work out. I couldn’t make heads or tails out of what Elfeed was doing with windows. I felt even more helpless with window management than usual. I often have an Emacs frame in full-screen, split into two or three columns. With Elfeed’s feed list in the left of three columns, new entries would open in the far right column.

My future father-in-law, 90, ready for his flight from Grand Rapids to Denver.

Ash Furrow: The reasons that Airbnb chose to move away from React Native are cultural as much as they are technical, and while I understand why they didn’t publicize these tensions, it gives the impression that Airbnb’s decision was based entirely in technical merit. And that’s just not the case. I love reading about people’s decisions when it comes to technology choices. And also the reactions to those decisions.

Good Times Bad Times – LED ZEPPELIN / Cover by Yoyoka , 8 year old drummer Everything about this makes me happy. I’ve been watching it several times a day and she puts a big old grin on my face every time.

My mom loves tinkering with her dollhouse. The gentleman reading a newspaper showed up recently.

Here’s how windows used to look. Guess where you click to drag the window: That’s right! Now, guess where you click to drag this window currently open on my desktop: Requires a lot of dexterity, but you’re correct. Now how about this one: I just skipped to the chase with this one. I love Standard Notes so I’m not picking on them, but I would love to always have a consistent, obvious, uncluttered title bar that I can use to drag windows around in any app at any time.

Self Portrait (2013). Mamiya 6, HP5+, D-76 A few years back I owned a Mamiya 6 medium format rangefinder. Eventually I drifted toward using the Hasselblads for medium format and sold the Mamiya. I’ve been missing it. Carrying a Hasselblad around “just in case” doesn’t make a lot of sense. I love them, but they’re definitely not convenient. If I want convenience and medium format, the Mamiya 6 is about the best there is.

The Finder in macOS has always been very simple. Too simple, really. I’ve tried just about every replacement app I could find and all of them have come up short in one way or another. If they’re too simple, then why bother? If they’re too complicated they tend to be slow or cumbersome to use. Either way, they introduce friction and just get in the way. I’ve used Cocoatech’s Pathfinder on and off for years and it’s a well-done and powerful app.

Blog posts with a title are not displayed in full on the micro.blog feed. Micro.blog will only show the title and a link to the post. I love the interaction that takes place on Micro.blog and worry that if only links to my short posts show there, people won’t bother to click through and the conversations won’t happen. And, if they do click through, it won’t be worth it just for a 240-character snippet I just fired off without much thought.

No, I don’t think I will. I thought we were past this.
