Did I accomplish everything on my list this week? No.

But did I prioritize well and make sure the few things that got done were the most important ones? Also no.

But did I at least make a solid effort I can proud of, even if I did not succeed? Again, no.

@Brilliantcrank I thought it was all fake until recently. Absolutely brilliant. Is this the “I'm mad as hell" version of the new century?

I never envisioned becoming a keyboard nerd, but somewhere along the way I started down the path. To wit, I didn't need to buy the NuPhy Air75 v2 low profile mechanical keyboard, but OMG I'm so glad I did.

Is buttery-goodness a phrase applied to keyboards? If not, I take credit. Such a delight to use. Works brilliantly for the Mac. Can't rave enough.

@andypiper LOL. I'm using blue switches right now. Can't speak to travel other than I dig it. And the keys are thwoky in a lovely way. My kids were both impressed with the choice, as well. Lubricants? I'm still a relative newbie, so I’ll have to research and get back to you. 😜

@greg Yeah, enjoying it a lot. Normally also go for extended keyboards. Have had zero problems with this not being one. Watched far too many YouTube reviews before getting this one. It's my third mechanical, and definitely my favorite of the bunch I've had.

My longest daily driver has always been the Apple Extended Magic Keyboard.

This is the surface of a comet! Dust is swirling around the surface of Comet 67/P -- captured in 2016 by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft, processing by Jacint Roger Perez.

Still one of the most remarkable scenes in space exploration.

@coreyspowell @Brilliantcrank Always loved this because it looks like a special effect from a 1930s Flash Gordon serial.

Uh, I definitely like the UK cover for Cal Newport’s new book more than the US cover.

Great piece of reporting from Johnathan Katz on the WHOPPING LIE that Katie Britt told on national television in her SOTU rebuttal. And folks, he did it following some basic critical thinking and web searching. Dear god I hope he wasn’t the only one who found this out or dug into the claim. And holy hell — that this was even uttered on TV shows the depths of rubbish the GOP is willing to throw on air.

Apple Podcasts downloads the most recent FIVE episodes of a podcast when you subscribe. I subscribe to a lot, and this ends up chewing through a huge amount of my phones HD. I now set to none every time. Wonder how many “downloads” shows get stem from this default…

@jilleduffy I’ve used everything in the past save for Downcast. Used to live Pocket Casts for a time. Will check both. Thanks!

Old prototype from 2021. While my work has improved since then, I think I’ve also lost some crispness of detail. I like the underwater shading and water ripples here.

Okay, plan is to create a personal blog during December. Based on recent follows, I need to include a Now page, a Defaults page, a Blogroll, and maybe one that indicates what topics/subjects I'm interested in. Any other key pieces of content?
