The water was quiet and still yesterday morning, with just a little smokey haze. It was a beautiful hour of paddling on the lake.

Two episodes in, I’ve decided to be Ted Lasso when I grow up.

🎮 After hearing more chat about it on this Monday’s Waypoint Radio, I started playing Remnant: From the Ashes again. I had tried it previously on console and found it frustratingly hard, but I’m glad I picked it back up on PC; it’s really good!

New pen day! This is my first TWSBI and I’m really enjoying it so far.

I’m sending up the M-x-help signal, emacs friends. I’m using doom and vim mode: occasionally emacs gets stuck with s- as a prefix to anything I enter, and I can’t figure out how to exit that mode. Trying to enter a vi command results in emacs thinking I’m typing s-:, and it similarly wrecks emacs chords. It’s weird. If I try to just close the window, emacs puts up the close confirmation dialog, and I can’t even answer that because a y or n gets prefixed with s! shrug

If I promise the postmaster general that this isn’t a ballot, do you think he’ll find a way to get this package moving again?

Update to my micro.blog Friday Afternoon Coffee Buddies: I have switched to India Pale Ale. Do with that knowledge what you will.

Considering having one more coffee today. Just FYI.

Re iPad distribution for remote classes, my son’s school writes:

Your child’s 6 digit birthday is the passcode you will need to unlock your iPad.

Seems like a bad idea for the school district to use PII for a password, both for security and privacy reasons.

My wife and I were recently thumbing through some old photo books, mostly marveling at how our son has grown. One of them has this photo of her from a couple of days we spent in Park City about five years ago. I adore this photo and treasure being able to bring her a smile.
