Make no mistake, Karen Carpenter was a master at playing drums

You know what? The sunflowers and the grasses are the creek’s popsicles…

My son, having breakfast at the creek one morning in September.

When I first began my PM journey, I felt this immense pressure of needing to know everything. Over time I have transitioned into being curious about a given use case and amp up the empathy around the problem statement. So glad to not have that pressure anymore.

I setup Starlink in September of last year and I am genuinely impressed at how it has stood up to storms, high winds, heavy snow without missing a beat on performance ~160 Mbit down/ ~18 Mbit up. Only had one outage and that was while I was sleeping.

I’ve been messing around with my drums and mic setup and I think I’ve dialed in the sound how I want it. One of the things I’ve been practicing is taking a song with lots of space and introducing little snippets of tension in the time without losing the pulse. Super fun exercise, and when done right, downright musical (not saying I have achieved this). Here’s a snippet of the song “Eat the Elephant” by A Perfect Circle that I played my own drum interpretation over:

“What are all of those pipes?”

This is what brought me over to micro.blog from Mastodon, somehow on Mastodon I was always missing posts or conversation context, haven’t run into that here and worth the price of admission.

Japan’s Only Cymbal Manufacturer

Such a lovely video. I often think about what I spend my day doing at work, it’s not a craft what I do (industry folks may disagree), this is pure craft.

Regarding 1Password and Safari, it definitely is working better using Edge. I suppose I could migrate to iCloud Keychain but I’m too lazy to go through that effort. Edge has been pretty good (certainly better that Chrome). Once you disable/hide all of the Bing and AI crud, it’s a fairly fast and decent browser. I do appreciate the vertical tabs feature quite a bit.

The issue I was running into with Safari is that extension just wouldn’t load or save the password for a given site. Reinstalling the extension didn’t help any. I don’t necessarily blame this on Safari or Apple, I know 1Password made some annoying changes when they released 1Password 8, but it was working fine for months and then it just decided not to. I keep 1Password because I’m in some grandfathered plan from eero (back before Amazon bought them) that now I pay nothing for 🤷‍♂️
