Finished Severance season 2 last night. Quite a ride, although I still feel lost.
The weather sucks tonight: 🌧 Light rain and snow+36°F. Not a great time walking the dog just now.

Why bother making anything when I can just rearrange my toolbox all day, instead?

With this evolution, we might finally be approaching what the internet was supposed to be all along: a tool for thought, not just a collection of pages. At least, that is how the optimist in me sees the future.
It's the pessimist in me that sees that same future.

#I went to bed last night exhausted by overthinking everything I do. Correction, what’s exhausting is overthinking the minutiae and underthinking the important stuff. I'm overthinking things that are mostly solved problems with proper, simple solutions: email, RSS reading, blogging, taking notes, etc. I spend an inordinate amount of time playing with things when I should be using them to, you know, do things.

#I was in a mood for change this afternoon, so I dusted off the Kirby version of my blog, cleaned things up, refactored the blueprints, and migrated the content from Hugo (since last time). I spent like 4 hours on this, and now I've forgotten why I started it. I suppose I should deploy it and enjoy my sunk cost fallacy.

I'm not in the mood for any of this, today. I don't feel like maintaining or being responsible for anything: this blog, several computers, servers, a fish tank, two cars, a house, none of it.
How long before Trump makes it so that one must demonstrate fealty before receiving Social Security benefits?
Some days, when I'm feeling like a capital-P "Photographer", I use Capture One. Other days, when I realize I'm only taking a few snapshots, I decide to move to Lightroom. Today, I'm the latter.
You used to wake up with a song in your heart. Now you wake up with acid reflux.

Dog got me up at 3:20 this morning, ready for her walk. "Fine!", I said. It's 4:18 AM. I've written a bit in my journal, and now I'm typing in a text box on the blog. Part of me thinks this is the perfect start to a new day. Another part of me thinks I'm wasting my life.

Yesterday was sunny and 70°. Today is the first day of spring and it's snowing.
I would like to stop changing things all the time, but my brain won't let me. Can you imagine what it would be like to stick around long enough to actually get good at something for once?

Well would you look at that. We're using Kirby again.

I'm now writing everything here locally and deploying it using rsync (via just). This way makes it easier to edit posts using Emacs. If you're reading this, it worked.
They're going to need a new acronym for DOGE. DOLTPALS, maybe (Department Of Lining Trump's Pockets And Lost Scruples).

It's interesting how much I love using Kirby when I'm posting a lot of images. It's just as interesting how I'd rather have something fully static when I'm not. Just an observation.
I'm pro-regulation. Unless of course it's about something I'm personally interested or invested in. Then leave me alone!
Not a day goes by where I'm not surprised by how uninterested I am in AI. I should be all over it. Old me would have been.
Maybe the idea is for me to do things that don't benefit from AI.
