Darn Tough

I’m tough on socks. I always have been. I had a friend tell me about Darn Tough socks and their commitment to be the best, toughest, socks you’ll own and that come with a lifetime guarantee. I’ve purchased nothing but for years now and they’ve absolutely been the longest lasting ones on my feet by miles.

As of this writing, I have now returned four pairs of socks to them under said lifetime warranty (which I’ve worn for years before having any warrant to do so) and received four pairs in return, fee and hassle free (besides the cost of postage to send them from my end).

Buy Darn Tough socks (this referral link will get you $5 off). If you see them on sale buy more. Trust me. Worth every cent.

This is not a paid sponsorship post I swear! I’m just a very happy long time customer.

Beatrix has only been to a McDonalds one other time in her life. And only for an ice cream cone. So, when tonight at the fish fry the subject of Shamrock Shakes came up, we realized we had to explain by doing.

Kottke.org Redesigns With 2024 Vibes

In thinking about how I wanted kottke.org to look and, more importantly, feel going forward, I wanted more social media energy than blog energy — one could also say “more old school blog energy than contemporary blog energy”. Blogs now either look like Substack/Medium or Snow Fall and I didn’t want to pattern kottke.org after either of those things. I don’t want to write articles — I want to blog.

Jason Kottke’s new redesign is perfect for the task he sets out to do. Plan the work and work the plan. What we believe in.

My daughter’s school has a place where they can post their (anonymized) college rejection letters and there’s so many layers of awesome here I’m not even sure where to begin.

This is your regular reminder:

Blog – Wikipedia

A blog (a truncation of “weblog”) is an informational website consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.

Therefore, each entry is called a “post” not a “blog”.

I’ll take no further questions at this time.
