Cold, wind, and wet snow this morning. Cut our walk as short as possible.

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.

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.

  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.

  Has Search Become Just a Feature? – On my Om

  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.
