If you use a static site generator, that is.

I became obsessed with personal knowledge management (PKM) apps, completed both UX and JavaScript courses, and my sister got married.
I’m still perfecting my PKM setup and plan to write about it in the future. It has been so much fun to reorganize my notes…

I haven’t cooked parboiled rice before and it seems there’s quite a difference in prep. Some rice cookers need the rice soaked beforehand, and I think mine is one of those, as I had to start the cooking cycle 3 times due to the amount of water left in the…

Battery life is normally stellar on my M1 MacBook Pro. During Friday evening this weekend, I used it for a couple hours off charger, and then closed the lid and went to sleep.
In the morning, the battery percentage was at 26%, which meant the battery level…

The scourge of the circle pointers I’m not a fan of the recent trend of custom mouse pointers on websites. They’re usually a large circle or other shape, and make trying to click things frustrating. It’s like fat-fingering a tiny button on your phone, yet…

My thoughts on Arcade Fire's latest album.

I just finished watching the first part of the fourth season of Stranger Things, and I have to say, it’s worth a watch. While I think the first season is by far the best of the series, season four is shaping up to be excellent, and if Volume 2 delivers, it…

My browser window was wider than this screenshot. I immediately moved to dismiss the banner, and instinctively clicked the X icon on the…

Big sulk about big bulk

Some of my favorite bands from across the pond.

Updates We went to Chicago! It was a lot of fun, and my first flight since February 2020. I stayed with my best man, Kolton, who lives downtown near the Loop. This is my third visit to Chicago, but the last two times were for work, so I didn’t do touristy…

One of the best things about the Internet is that you have instant and unlimited access to bullfrog photos.
I used to have to bike for 53 minutes (22 if I took the secret route through a fence) to the library for cool stuff like this. I’d take home a whole…

I discovered some cool things about nushell last night, thanks to Brian Wisti’s post. I particularly like being able to pipe the output of hugo list all into a nice table:
I like VisiData’s layout better though. I’m not sure if you can get a similar layout…

Summary Out of the six terminal apps I tested on macOS, kitty has the lowest input latency at 29.2ms. Terminal.app and WezTerm follow closely behind, and kitty has a small lead over Alacritty and iTerm2. When tuned, kitty is twice as fast as the latter two…

I’m done using Safari on macOS for a while. Two features I depend on are seamless tab sync and OS-wide reading list integration, but iCloud sync for both of those features has stopped working for the last few days.
This isn’t the first time this has happened…

Whoops!
