Wild God
The new record from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds is called “Wild God” and it’s fantastic. Nick Cave in a good mood is a rare and wonderful thing.

I wish this was something else
While walking Alice this morning, I saw a strange row of lights in the sky. It was stationary, so I knew it wasn’t a meteorite. It didn’t look like a comet. When I got home I did a quick search and it turns out it was a chain
How long can I go without SetApp?
My SetApp subscription was scheduled to renew today, but I didn’t let it. I figured that if I buy the apps outright that I actually use, I’ll spend around the same amount as I would on a 1-year SetApp license for both Macs. The purchased apps would either
Asking ChatGPT to do things I used to think were fun
I’ve been testing a version of Johnny Decimal using folders and org-mode files. While doing this, I found myself frequently wanting to create a new .org file in the current (Dired) directory with the same name as the directory (long story).

Micro.blog revisited
It’s been a couple weeks since moving my blog back to Hugo and, surprisingly, I’m perfectly happy with it. However, I’m not as sure about these daily notes posts.

Roll-172 (Nikon F100. Kodak 200)
A roll of Kodak Gold 200 was languishing in the Nikon F100, so I used it up taking photos of Alice on our deck. Turns out that’s what I did with the first half of the roll, too :)

Clean Google search results using Lucky in Safari
I’ve been trying to hang on to using DuckDuckGo as my default search engine, but the DDG results have become less and less useful for some reason, so I frequently head over to use Google search. Which, blech.
I’ve been back to using Safari as my default browser,
Sooo...Hugo again?
Remember that time (last year) when I was still using Hugo for baty.net? Well, it’s back.
Kirby CMS is great, and has been a blast to learn, but I’m kind of in a static-site mood right now.
The old site’s repo was still on Github, so
