Testing software for a living is a recipe for disaster.
I enabled premium subscriptions on my Buttondown newsletter to write (professionally) about the feature. Then sent my (personal) newsletter that loudly boasts it doesn't have a premium option.
It's amazing anyone trusts me with this stuff.

My favorite thing about Kagi is custom bangs.
I'm working on an article that relies heavily on archived pages and if I search `ia [URL]` (usually the address bar, sometimes Kagi itself), it takes me to straight to Internet Archive's timeline view of that URL.

Writing for @buttondown.com has turned me into a newsletter evangelist. So I started my own to share the whacky, charming, extremely non-AI ads from tech magazines in the 80s and 90s. Enjoy! buttondown.com/suchbadtecha...
Bad ad, but almost an iPad (in 1984)
I, for one, am glad that one of the greatest paintings of all time wasn't an 8-bit image drawn by this guy.

Four books and 1,923 words later, I can finally confidently say that King's Dark Tower series is not for me. Took me a while to accept considering a fun premise and nigh universal praise, but my god is it slow and tedious--not methodical (which I love!), just so dry.

Went to the park for an 8 miler. Everyone was in jackets, pulled tight around them, blowing warm air into their palms to stave off the frigid 76F air.

Watching one of America's collective freakouts from abroad always feels like reading some undergrad sociology paper. Unless you're an American expat. Then it's a little more like thumbing through your yearbook.

Before I started running marathons I ate a lot, slept a lot, and ran slowly. After I started running one or two a year, I ate a lot, slept, a lot, and ran slowly.
