I had the opportunity to hear this group live last week. The songs are still in my head and the warmth of their harmonies in my heart. Worth checking out more.
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.
Here’s one of those “The more you know…” moments:
Mental Health holds in New Orleans are handled by the Coroner’s Office.
Don’t ask me how I know.
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.
Episode 514: Choices | PM Talks S1:E2 – Productivityist
Our discussion was wide-ranging, but one topic stood out prominently: Choices. This theme resonated throughout our conversation, highlighting the significant impact of intentional living and personal metrics on achieving genuine satisfaction in life.
For your weekend listening, Mike Vardy and I talk about choices.
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.
To some of us, Nineteen Eighty-Four was a warning. For others, an instruction manual.
Everybody does it is not exactly a strong defense.
This is your regular reminder:
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.
