Pretty slick! I love a good bookmarklet. Well done @cdevroe!

Chrome intermittently deciding not to handle Zoom Webinar links has made for a fun day.

Northern Flicker 📷 🐦 I’ve seen different woodpeckers in my yard before. This is the first time I’ve seen (and was able to capture) this one. Beautiful birds that love our huge black walnut tree.

📺 Milo the Goat is the true hero of Shadow and Bone.

Highlight of my day, a gold finch visited my bird bath.

Reached the point in my product launch I need to translate nerd to human.

Walked through Brookside Gardens this afternoon. It never disappoints.

I was reminded this morning that much of technical support work is to continue trying something until it works. I rebooted already. Try it again. Now it works.

My wife’s phone started booting in a loop this morning. I held the power button down until it restarted and then it loaded properly.

I joked about it needing the hands of a seasoned technical support technician. Likely, it just needed another reboot. More forceful than the last.

I greatly enjoy sending pictures like this to my sister-in-law who’s husband has to leave the house and look for deer.

I just look out into the back yard and the herd is there.

Watching the Washingtron Capitals while living near Washington: Far more convuluted and expensive than you’d like to think.

Exhausting holding these meetings with my team of Selves.

The doves were out in force today.

Artist Christine Sun Kim Rewrites Closed Captions | Pop-Up Magazine

I watch almost everything with captions on these days and have been pleased to see the expansion of [music] to [depressing electronic music] but there’s so far to go. Watching this video, I could feel the moods of the each scene based on the captions.

How am I only just now learning you can boot a Raspberry Pi 3b+ from USB? I thought it was only the Pi 4.

I was getting frustrated at the micro SD cards having issues on the pi I’m running pihole and testing a VPN install, but now I can run it from something more substantial.

🍿 Shadow in the Clouds is to Chloe Grace Moretz as Crank is to Jason Statham.

TV rights to the local 🏒 team being sold again. Debating going with ExpressVPN and nhl.tv. Because to watch hockey you pay for, you also need a VPN to avoid the blackouts.

But hosted in Nextcloud.

Dropped Pixel 3aXL in water. It was not pleased. Replaced with Pixel 4a. Pixel 3aXL recovered after rice therapy.

Return Pixel 4a? Keep 3aXL phone? Will my gigantic hands gets used to a normal sized phone?

I would happily pay to have more hats for my cameras. The cowboy hat that came with my Wyze outdoor camera pre-order continues to delight.

Second time backups have saved my bacon in Proxmox. Friendly reminder, if you value your work, your data, your projects then please back them up somewhere.

I was able to restore my Nextcloud installation after a bad update hosed it.

My wife is having to use Microsoft Teams for a client and when she rotated her phone, the phone’s video turns into static. When she rotates it back to portrait, it’s fine.

Is this a Teams thing??? The Android app settings are no help.

 📚 Ready Player Two! My Library rental showed up last night so I’m listening to Wil Wheaton read to me and enjoying returning to the nerdy world.
