Get and use a library card. You already paid for it with taxes.
I borrow audio books using Libby on iOS with my local library card. In 2024 I spent 114 hours listening at 2.75x, about 30 min a day on average.
- 26 audio books
- 7 comic books
- 1 epub
Would have cost ~$670 to buy these titles.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

That one time I built a cli to generate a butt-ton of data, because no one would agree on the rules.

Some feedback I gave a previous student on a layout for their site.
- Add some hierarchy to the text
- Make that link more of a button
- Add some columns to help the works flow better
What other suggestions would you have given?

I've been using Shaper3D a bit this year. Mostly to draft woodworking project ideas. I might find myself switching back to SketchUp in the coming year.

Some abandoned layouts for my semi-abandoned flashcard app. Maybe sharing will help me get back to it.

In the 2010s there was a photo service called Ember. I believe it shut down due to AWS costs.
It would let you log in to Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and it would upload your photos.
It would also make a gallery of your best shots.
Does anyone have screenshots or know the old url of this service?

iPad mini setup ~circa Dec 2013
I'm grateful to still have Things, 1Password, Reeder, Prompt, Procreate (but I use Linea mostly).
I'm sad about Status Board, Comixology, Coda.
Nice to have Apple pencil upgrade.
I've also upgraded to the 12.9", but miss putting the mini in my jacket pocket.

Based on the ads I'm getting, the YouTube algo is very sure that someone in our house needs diapers. It’s just not sure if we need them for kid, toddler, or adults.

Prototype I made a while back.
Trying to give user feedback when the server process length is unknown.
- check to see if the process is complete every X sec
- max timeout to ask user to check back later
