I think this is all I’m spending… but we’ll see…

Trying out a new task app (Tiimo) and so far I'm not... totally in love with it. We'll see if messing around with it more will change my mind, but the UI is a bit confusing to me. It's somewhere between a calendar and simplified time-of-day division. Plus a separate tasks section. Hm.

Okay fine, I'll partake in the trend. #my9games I tried representing as much of my taste in games as possible. Older, newer, faster, slower... but these all had a huge impact on my life and tastes in other games. The only genre really missing is co-op multiplayer, but at least there's RL and Kirby.

Car is dirty and paint is a little scuffed (I'll detail & paint correct after the engine is reinstalled) but holy shit these are basically the same color.

Kind of frustrated that iOS doesn’t have a native way to easily convert Live Photos into GIFs in 2026, but here we are. Emailed this to myself to convert it. Rain at Frederick Meijer Gardens yesterday made for some incredible photos of the Chihuly installations in the Japanese garden area.

Pretty damn close. Can’t wait to put them next to each other and do a comparison without considering different white balances.

Ready for trade-in. Rocking the 13 Mini for the rest of the week until I can pick up my 18 Pro on Saturday.

This is a great Magazine-esque layout! When I was going to school for graphic design so much of the "hard" part of InDesign was applying typographic principles: columns and grid layout, paragraph width, leading, etc. but this seems like a really good five-column spread, confirmed in Affinity.

I was reminded from the Zelda direct that my wife got me this as a Christmas gift last year. I didn't install it right away because I wanted to wait until the warranty expired before I cracked open the hardware. Now that I'm a few months beyond the 1yr warranty expiration I'm ready to mod!

If your vehicle is making loud clunking sounds when going over bumps, it’s most likely your sway bar/anti-roll bar linkages. The crunchy/popping sounds of the looser joint in this one were AWFUL. Sounds quiet in this video but it was loud from the driver seat.

Me, all day yesterday: I’m gonna finally replace the parts on my Maverick that have been clunking for over a year tomorrow morning. Mother Nature as soon as I am awake:

Take me back to Isle Royale. It's been nearly two weeks since returning to the mainland and I still don't know how to adjust back to daily life.

The red glow of the sun just peeking over the treeline of a smaller island is reflecting not only on the water of the lake, but the wet rocks on the shoreThe Ojibway lookout tower appears behind a few trees and bushes. A rutted trail winds around the flora leading to the tower

I ate this delicious spicy pickle that came in a package that made me burst into laughter as soon as I saw it. I hope it does the same for you.

New banner photo for the first time since bringing the Miata home from the UP. I'll probably replace it with the Miata again once the engine is fully rebuilt, if I'm being honest.

Shouldn’t have drank an energy drink at 4pm. Here’s the moment I took us on a 1.5 mile extension to our already awful 9 mile hike.

Testing your knowledge of a band in order to get access to chords to learn the songs yourself is a hilarious and awesome little mini game. This was too damn fun. Nice work hey, nothing.

My friend wasn't doing well last night so I offered up some emotional support. The support was bad IT help desk jokes featuring a quote from @flytape8490.bsky.social

The cost of this holiday weekend will take a very long time to recuperate. This week begins engine disassembly to see if I have to order a whole engine or if I might be able to get away with just a head and thermostat. I'm thinking probably a whole engine.

Dreaming about what I'm gonna do once I've fixed all of my oil leaks and changed all of my car's fluids. The remainder of 2026 and early 2027 will be spent buttoning up the little things and then this time next year I start aggressively saving up for this kit.
