I’ve been making pizzas in the home oven with a baking steel this week. 550° for 7 minutes. Results have been great. It’s nice to cook indoors instead of outside in front of an 800° flame in 92° weather.

Added an option in Places to sort by date places were saved. This is useful when you can’t remember the name of a place you saved recently or want to try somewhere new to you. Sorting still defaults to places nearest you.

Lucky enough to see the Killers put on an amazing show at Tipitina’s. Don’t think there was room for another person on the floor.

Created a page to collect all my posts on Places and describe what it is (an app to keep track of places you’ve been and places you want to go): bwlng.com/places/

#BuildInPublic

Added sections to collections in Places. I find them handy for organizing places in a collection by days when planning a trip, but they can be used for anything — like grouping places by category (e.g. food spots, entertainment, sights, etc.). #BuildInPublic

Pizzaversary: New York. 96 hours, 14 pizza places, 6 comedy shows, a Broadway play, and an earthquake.

GitHub and other websites started rendering text with similar but different (weird) characters in my browser.

Tracked it down to monospaced fonts rendering with .SF NS instead of SF Mono. No idea what happened, but deleting SF Mono from /Users/username/Library/Fonts and reinstalling it fixed it.

Just felt this 4.7 magnitude earthquake in NYC. Crews had been jackhammering all morning, so I thought it was construction related until I saw the reports 😅

I’m now @bwlng.com on Bluesky thanks to Micro.blog adding AT Protocol DIDs for hosted blogs.

And, no, I had no clue what a “DID” was until I read that and Googled this.

Good day for new music. Zach Bryan, Turnpike Troubadours, and Morgan Wade.

Zach even acknowledges Turnpike on a track:

"“I heard Turnpike’s back together and they’re writing songs”"

Looks like Dr. Dog is back in the studio.. Queuing up Toby’s and Scott’s recent solo albums for the occasion.
