Daily meeting with the homies

The frost on today’s morning walk was wild.

Started experimenting with rebuilding my personal website (untouched through the COVID era) with Astro. Already excited to see much better it could be for some of the cases in which I reach for Gatsby.

Made an advent-style countdown calendar to show off some notable work entering the public domain in 2022.

My Jadeite keycaps have arrived after about 18 months of waiting, finally completing my COVID-extended build of the wireless Keychron K6 I use with my iPad.

Lovely review of The Public Domain Review in new issue of the Times Literary Supplement

All Night Radio was absolutely one of my favorite SXSW live surprises (and records) of the early aughts. Raven Sings the Blues has a nice writeup on the occasion of a small reissue.

“The Desert Is Paper Thin” by Corntuth is countrified ambient and probably my favorite thing I picked up on the last Bandcamp Friday. Now there’s a crowdfund campaign for a vinyl release.

Last morning run in the Kempen for the summer before heading back to Ohio for the school year.

One step closer to my dream of a standalone Touch ID button to put next to my Keyboardio Model 01.

Really excited by both the lovely presentation and the contents of Rob Weychert’s Plus Equals algorithmic art zine.

Morning fog on the dunes in Hoge Rielen

Sunday morning long run for 16 miles through the Flemish farmland followed by some Dutch-Tex-Mex smoked mackerel and egg breakfast tacos on homemade tortillas (which I’d intended to photograph, but forgot).

Worked out a new run to Gierle and back this morning

Ran into some early-20s dudes walking back from town to their campsite while finishing up my sunrise run this morning. Got challenged to some head-to-head sprints. Beat all of them. Good signs for starting my proper marathon training regimen this week.

Excited about the new Notes feature in BBEdit 14. The three things I use BBEdit for are opening multi-MB text files anything else would choke on, testing regex with Pattern Playgrounds, and opening dozens of ephemeral text files I never intend to save.
