I’d like to get into journaling this year.

- I’d prefer Mac, but would like the iOS option.
- I like supporting indie devs focused on a single/few apps.
- I don’t see myself using a bunch of integrations. (I log books in StoryGraph, and could see myself doing the same for games too.)

Suggestions?

2025 reads, stacked favorite (top) to least. One of the hardest years to rank which means a year of great reads.

Took some time away from one of my favorite things this year. Here’s a short podcast episode about it. Maybe you’ll find it helpful.

Elizabeth Olsen on Kimmel re The Dodgers + fandom reignited my desire to be publicly creative, popping me out of contentment /parenting exhaustion / identity crisis, for better or worse.

Want to make something people dig. More Y-Button? Something else?

Inspiration in the strangest places…

Dodgers scored the only Phillies run.

Phillies scored both of the Dodgers runs.

Weird, unsatisfying game. But I’ll take it!

I might use Safari’s Reading List more if it were easier to find.

So here’s a (single action) Home Screen shortcut to open Reading List: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/50...

The receptionist at the doctor’s office was shocked/impressed that I knew he was vibing to Lava Reef Zone at his desk. (GOAT Sonic track.) When I left, he gave me this drawing.

@kirkhamilton.com since seeing @coheedandcambria.bsky.social in LA last week, I’ve been on a real bender. Are they on your radar? Any chance we’ll see a Strong Songs episodes on them one day? Their blend of prog, pop, metal, emo sound mixed with Sci-fi story telling seems ripe for K Hamilton.
