Removed Twitter from my profile links. RIP
That tagline is such a huge undersell. But I get that you canāt list everything.
Oh cool, I just discovered that 8 people have listed me as having referred them to https://omg.lol.

Screwing around with Docker all afternoon instead of doing the actual work I need to do. Hate Docker. Iām sure itās great but, man.
I stopped enjoying banking when they stopped giving me free suckers in the drive-thru.

Spoke at a web dev meetup Wednesday night about āhome-cookedā apps. It went great! iA Presenter is a nice tool. https://blakewatson.com/home-cooked/
Is FaceID coming to Apple Studio Display at some point?
That would go a long way toward making passkeys accessible to me (biometric ones anywayāI donāt really understand what options I have).

Trying to decide if itās time to join some webrings. Yes, right? But which ones?
Had to put together a talk on short notice and Iām using @ia Presenter. Itās freaky how well this tricks you into writing a good talk instead of fiddling with slides for hours.

Procrastinating starting on a talk I'm supposed to give on Wednesday.
I love how social.lol is full of avatars by @heyheymomo and @andycarolan.
Mac apps Iāve been enjoying lately (both old and new):
- Ivory: welcome this fantastic Mastodon client to the Mac App Store!
- Tot: this replaced the built-in Stickies app for me. And itās free!
- Silicio: luxurious mini-player that works with Apple Music and Spotify
- iA Writer: great for writing and has all the features I need to be my main notes store.
- Things: Iām not a todo junkie but I canāt keep everything in my head all the time. Things helps me remember what needs to be done.
I dislike the UI pattern of āfloating action buttonsā because they end up blocking some part of the app I want to click or read. I get why they exist, though.
