Happy to see our bees out and about (and still alive) as the weather warms up a bit. 🐝

Listening to the Release Notes podcast, I was sad to hear @DazeEnd and @joec say they don’t plan to hold another conference this year (and possibly ever); I really enjoyed attending last year. But I totally understand their reasoning.

After moving to the US in April 2001, we got a rental car and drove from LA up the west coast, visiting Hearst Castle on the way. #ThrowbackThursday

For the past four nights, I made small individual pizzas for my dinners, from the amount of dough I’d normally use for one pizza, but split into four portions. 🍕

I usually add a Dejal sticker or two on my devices, but decided to add a bunch more on my new MacBook Pro 16”. Included here are SheetPlanner, Dejal, Time Out, The Incomparable, Upgrade, Alt Conf, Micro.blog, and ATP.

I’m taking a break from Facebook at present (for the last week). I still go there to cross-post my Dejus posts, since I’m not aware of a way to automatically do that (like I do with Twitter via Micro.blog), but not reading anything there. While it is the main channel for news from family, I just got sick of the ads and other sketchy content, and felt I needed a break. I’ll probably resume at some point, since I don’t imagine I can convince my family to move to a more pleasant social network like Micro.blog.

I just made my first banana bread loaves, including chocolate chips. Turned out alright for a first try, though there are definitely things I could improve. 🍌🍞

It wasn’t in the forecast, but last night we had a little preview of snow, that is still lingering this morning. Expecting more next week. ❄️

In April 2001 Jenn and I moved from NZ to the US. We landed in Los Angeles, so of course we had to visit Disneyland. #ThrowbackThursday

For the first time leaving the homestead this decade, I had a dental cleaning, then dropped off a package at the UPS store, Subway for lunch, feed store for chicken/duck/bird food, gas store for the truck’s food, and the post office to clear out the junk mail from the PO box. That’ll do me for a month or so.
