So... I left Evernote months ago when they hiked their pro plan subscription (like 163% !) It was bloated, and their free plan was crippled; that + the company had been struggling for years to find a CEO who could bring some kind of vision back to the app. It all flopped and they were sold to Bending Spoons.

Over the ensuing months, I was fortunate to find a replacement! An Open Source, fully encrypted, Evernote killer. And what a note taking app it has become.

A major release (v3.0) was launched officially today. 8 months of non-stop development and testing by a two-man Dev team has really brought this app center stage. These guys are hands-on with listening to user feedback on their NN Discord server; when they find time to sleep beats me (the plight of the developer).
Read about this latest journey AND all of the great new features of v3.0 that are note-taking game changers, on their blog post:

You're going to hear more about Notesnook in the weeks and months to come and it won't be coming from me. It will be from a growing userbase that can't help but share the awesomeness that Notesnook brings to notetaking.

I'm seeing an uptick in discussion about #Thunderbird #email. I know it has come a long way, but there is still no Android app even though they targeted this past summer for release.
Has anyone done a complete migration from Gmail to Thunderbird? #FOSS

Did I mention our son graduated High School yesterday? 😄 He will be attending Michigan Tech University in the fall, studying #Mechanical #Engineering.

Did I mention it is an 8 hour drive, one way? 😬
That's 8 hours - one way - AND still staying within the same state. 😭

NeadReport, 1 month ago to books

I am just one chapter into Steven Wright's new novel "Harold" and I can't remember that last time I laughed so hard reading a book (probably never).
And yes, that Steven Wright, the deadpan comedian that Rolling Stone magazine once listed as the 15th funniest comedian of all time.

I noticed the following from a new Mastodonian profile:

"I collect pocket knives, flashlights and build high power 3d printed nerf guns" - @Trenchcoatfulloknafs

I am therefore obliged to summon all #edc #nerfgun #3dprint #blender3d enthusiasts to follow Brian and encourage him to share all good things EDC and 3D printing!

Mr. Baleno... I'll start you off with a recommendation to follow @3dprinting @3DPrintingDad

It's time to stop using #MicrosoftEdge. (Yet another reason I'm a #VivaldiBrowser user)

"Microsoft Edge now leaks the address of every web page you visit straight to Microsoft Bing. This appears to be a bug with one of the many extra features Microsoft has been cramming into Edge over the past few years. We’ve had enough."

NeadReport, 6 days ago to jazz

Not sure if there are any Latin/Jazz music lovers out there; I'm plugging my good friend, former college roommate, and fellow musician, Jon Ball as he joins
"Gonzalo Grau & La Clave Secreta" at the Lincoln Center in NYC!
This ~ 2 hour event will be live-streamed on the Lincoln Center website as well as YouTube (link below).
La Clave Secreta has been together for 15 years and their eclectic blend is son cubano, jazz, rhumba, R&B, and funk... so tune-in an turn it up! 7:30p EST ⟶ there's a countdown timer on the YouTube site that should align with anyone's time zone)
⟶ If you know someone who might like some free, live music streamed tonight, boost it out! ⟵

Drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie.
He's been a big influence on my playing over the years. Purdie has played on hundreds of albums - many you have heard.

Just two more days until I find out if my entry for "Name The Turkey Contest" is a winner. Michigan Governor Gretchen Witmer will pardon said bird on the 23rd.

I can't imagine there's a better name than Gobbles McTurken!
Wish me luck!

The best, lightweight pocket knife to get you through the day. Classic Victorinox.
I have the all-silver version* of this ditty. Slim, sharp, blade. Nail file & 2.5mm screwdriver, and spring loaded scissors (which I end up using more than the blade!) There's a ring to place it on your keychain, too.
