I’m the proud new caretaker of a Dayton Audio hybrid tube amplifier. I’ve wanted to get into tube amplification for a long time. This solution seems like a great starting point– the efficiency (and temperature) of solid-state power amplification with the sweetness (and warmth) of a … read more

Re: Rapid Log, I’ve established a daily log in Obsidian and installed the Actions for Obsidian app on all the platforms to hopefully allow my work iPad, work PC, home Mac, and phone to log to the note. Quick entry with the Stream Deck?? #shortcuts #obsidian

Love optimized charging. Sits patiently after gassing up to top off before I get up around 6.

Thinking about the idea of a daily rapid log that gets archived every night. Supported by something like a Drafts action that appends something to the end of a note. Maybe a shortcut connected into Obsidian.

I’d love to build a basic automation in Omnifocus that allows me to tie a focus mode to certain perspectives. When I’m in my office, for example, a geofence triggers my Work focus mode. That focus mode already filters my calendars (in the iOS Calendar) and my email inboxes (in Spark). … read more

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

Have you seen this cat?

New Paramore Day can be overwhelming, but that’s why we prepare. We’re ready for this.

I’m not joking. I brought my best headphones to work.

Please always remember that the only one who wins is Mr. McBean.

My wife picked up Canyons from Young Gun Silver Fox on vinyl, prompting me to restart a quest to get a new belt for the turntable. The belt came in yesterday, and it’s been a pleasure to listen to records in the evening again. I should have gotten to this sooner after the move.

I’ve never been more proud of an Arkham Horror deck title than I am for my “Darrell Simmons, the Photographer” deck.

“Gentle on the ear you whisper softly, rumors of a dawn so embracing. Breathless love awaits darkened souls; soon will we know of the morning.”
