Nice day for a walk in the park.

One of my favorite weather phenomena.

I got a new bow tie with a logo in the print. Apparently they didn’t have anyone who knows how to tie them, because the logo is upside down when the knot is finished.

I did solve it by tying the tie inside out. You can only tell if you look under my collar. Still funny.

Good morning.

Whenever a website asks me for my Twitter or Facebook URL, what’s to stop me from just putting my Micro.blog link?

Might be the Best iOS 13 feature.

I spent some time this week tweaking my footer. I want to spread the word about Micro.blog, but in a way that suits my style. A few folks asked for the code that I used, so here it is!

The first link is to the Micro.blog homepage, while the svg Micro.blog icon links directly to my profile. Make sure to update the link for the svg or your visitors might end up someplace they weren’t expecting!

As a reminder, this is set-up for the Kiko theme, and I have this snippet in the “Edit Footer” area on the Micro.blog Design tab.

There’s a ton of health information on the Internet, but much of it is spurious.

It’d be great if a big research hospital funded a consumer-focused health information website.

I’m pleased with my updated footer.

It’s been five days since I implemented my iCloud Mail spam rule. Not a single spam email has made it to my inbox, and there have been seven attempts in the last twelve hours.

I’m feeling smug.

The bottom toolbar for email in Mail.app on iOS 13 makes zero sense.

I was expecting a slew of news releases from companies about HomeKit routers & secure video yesterday. Very quiet.

iOS 13, Apple’s Latest iPhone Update, Is Out—Just Be Cautious - WSJ

This article was published four hours after the release. It should’ve come out a day earlier.

At this point, I really should be more thorough in testing web design on multiple platforms.

Fixed my blog’s logo size on mobile in dark mode.

The Activity rings complication on watchOS 6 moving beyond completion is throwing me for a loop.

Buying shoes online is stressful.

FedEx Pilot Detained by Police in Southern China - WSJ

The pilot, a former U.S. Air Force pilot named Todd A. Hohn, was detained a week ago while waiting for a commercial flight to his home in Hong Kong

Talk about escalation.

I’m still waiting for Messages in the Cloud for Apple Watch. Is that a thing yet?
