This is the stock look of my 2021 Sprinter van front console area: If it’s not obvious, there’s no great place for a phone. You’ve got the cup holders. Those are actually sorta workable, except for this boss battle: wired-only CarPlay. Wired CarPlay is not ideal, but that’s all this van has. I expect upgrading […]
I got something I’ve wanted for years and years! A camper van! I’m a camper van guy now! It’s a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and even more technically a Winnebago Revel. I scoured Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and RV-specific sites for a long time drooling over these things. I’ve rented a half dozen of them on Ourdoorsy over […]
What’s up with this? The spirit, of course, is “I want my Google Reader back.” I should be careful though: I imagine if we really did have it back exactly as it was, it would probably not be as cool as we remember. That was a long-ass time ago and web software just wasn’t as […]
Mine did. Like this: I guess WordPress 7.0 assumes you are using a theme.json file these days. I’m not doing that yet on any of the sites I work on. If you want to embrace that future, you could add a theme.json file to the root of your theme, and put some typography basics only […]
The Internet Archive has a new book: VANISHING CULTURE. (Digital copy is free.) According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible. But thatβs not the whole story. In a new study published in Internet Archive’s book, VANISHING CULTURE, data scientists working with the Wayback Machine have found: […]
80 years old and killing it.
Raw coding speed isn’t the bottleneck. Alignment is the bottleneck. That seems to be a zeitgeist-y theme lately. If you’re using AI to code, maybe you’re feeling it. You can code more and faster. And clearly a boatload of other developers are doing that too. But software doesn’t seem to be exploding in quantity or […]
This pseudo-truth just bugs me. I hear it all the the time. People saying they choose Safari as a browser because it’s better for their battery. But there isn’t any data (that I know of) that proves that Safari is more efficient at battery usage than any other browser. I applaud Matt Birchler who did […]
[Folk Fest] is not an intellectual experience, itβs an emotional experience. Bob Banghart Visiting Alaska gives me the feeling that people are chasing after when they travel: a little taste of what itβs like to be a part of another world. To live another version of life. Not just looking at it or fantasizing about […]
Just have such strong nostalgia for this song. Still slaps. Close second from MC Chris. Curious, this record isn’t streaming anywhere, and he just makes the album available as downloadable MP3’s in a Google Drive.
UPDATE: I’m just gonna put the answer at the top of this blog post to help anyone finding this. Do these things: Once all that is in place, doing a manual sync is in order at https://wordpress.com/settings/manage-connection/{YOUR_DOMAIN} And now the original post… I’ve got a Custom Post Type in WordPress. It’s called docs because it’s for […]
I’m just back from the United States 50th state, a staggering 2,500 miles from the mainland. For the next week or two, I’ll pronounce it Ha-Vie-ee, like how it’s pronounced in the native Hawaiian language. A language, by the way, that only a few thousand people speak natively, no doubt due to the 91 years […]
