The new moon is the invisible phase, with the illuminated side facing the Sun and the night side facing Earth. The moon is in the same part of the sky as the Sun and rises and sets with it. The next full moon is in approximately 15 days. Watch the space for info about a project about this stuff!

A new moon where familiar detail is all in shadow.

So yes, radiolab was great. There were interactive smells. 3 stories about Sulfur and other smelly chemicals, and basically dangerous things that heal. Classic radiolab.

I once met actor John de Lancie, who played Q on Star Trek. I froze and didn’t know what to say. So he just said ”Read” trek.epicrandomness.com

My new Raycast snippit to make it easier to add books to my digital bookshelf. Apparently a .mdc file is cursor’s format for rules. They look like this: github.com/andypbrowne/...

A string of text in a Cursor chat window. It includes @ mentions for a data file about books and a cursor rule called bookshelf-add.mdc. Below that is some of the metadata about the book.

No e-readers have these choices. But if we own nice fonts we can load them!

Choosing a nice typeface for my e-reader. Spoiler its going to be Valkyrie because I want to support the practical typography website and it seems to have all the features and formats including webfonts. What would be your choice for reading?

8 serif typeface specimens that all look very similar.

I finally found out that custom fonts can be added to Kindle. For now added Crimson Pro. Later may splurge and get Valkyrie or Lyon.

User: Ok, I'm a little bit mad at you for this one. Whenever we open an overlay like the cmd bar we need to ensure that we trap focus for accessibility purposes. Will you fix that right away? AI: Added a proper focus trap. Try it: andypbrowne.com then ⌘ + K. What else is my AI forgetting?

Raycast wrapped up my year. A little late to the party, but had a strong finish. There are a few things here that really help with productivity. Quick access to image compression, snippits, and app launching with hot key. My personality is "IDE Whisperer."
