Not going to come close to hitting my reading goal this year. This year has been too much. Hoping to finish one or two more books before the end of the year, though… With the holidays approaching, great time to disconnect with a book.

When I was trying to simplify the Design page in Micro.blog earlier this year, I think I went too far, burying the CSS functionality inside of custom themes. I’ve reversed course today and elevated the button to a new section.

Hummel delivered his report while wedged next to the actor Austin Butler, whom play-by-play man Noah Eagle razzed Hummel for not knowing about before checking in with Derek Fisher from the Lakers bench.

Watched the first half of Spurs/Lakers NBA cup game last night, too tired to stay up for the whole thing. West coast games always get me now. Caught up on the final quarter this morning. Spurs have such a complete team. Bench was great. 🏀

Usually when I think of something new to work on, I add a note in Micro.blog notes. Lately I’ve been trying something new: I’ll type the idea into Codex (cloud) and ask it to plan the basics, but to not write code yet. Then I can come back later to work on it and have some tips to keep in mind.
