📻 Sting And Shaggy is probably the best NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert of them all.
Note to self, A and CNAME records don’t include the domain name.
This learning is worth 2 hours of my life.
Nora Keegan from Calgary, Canada, tells NPR:
Hand dryers are actually really, really loud, and especially at children’s heights since they’re close to where the air comes out
Shit, I’ve joked about Robie hating hand dryers and always asking us to not use them. Joke’s on me.
This New York-style pizza recipe might get me to start using my baking steel again.
📺 Not crazy about Star Trek Discovery season 2. The first one didn’t require much knowledge to have fun, but the second got way too Trekkie and sentimental towards the end.
👽: how was it?
👾: fascinating, especially “the lightning”.
👽: ?
👾: They have these “clouds” made of particles suspended in the atmosphere, and they discharge electricity to the ground.

I’m going to deep dive into mind mapping next.
🎥 DC movies are more enjoyable when they don’t take themselves so seriously. Shazam! being a prime example.

Strong earthquake in Panama/Costa Rica border, but felt it very clearly in San Jose.

The Microsoft Edge weekly Dev channel is out, and it ain’t bad at all.
My current solution for not being able to parse urls from rich text in iOS? I won’t post links for a while… drops🎙
Back to using Launch Center Pro. The Shortcuts app in itself is a terrible dashboard for actions.
📺 Just started Chernobyl and it’s hitting me hard. The narrative of the communist bureaucracy being a dead weight at every attempt of efficiency is much too relatable after watching chavismo destroy Venezuela.
I really need to learn to write regular expressions, not just hack ones I find online.
Radiohead’s stolen 18 minidisks will likely be my only playlist the rest of the week.
Two coffee’s too many today. Thought I was getting sick, but of course the ringing in the ears has a more logical explanation.
Back on LaunchBar for a while — its clipboard issues appear to have been fixed. The UX just feels more natural than Alfred, but it’s slower. When 4.0 ships I’ll come back to Alfred.
🎥 The Apollo 11 documentary is the first time in 5 years I’d wanted to upgrade my 720p TV. Same story I’ve seen countless times but with mind blowing detail.
