š My Dream Puck
April 8, 2022
I really want to build something with another person.
March 25, 2022
Playing around with the wiki again⦠probably a dumb decision that will die before it really gets started, but Iāve been itching for something that meets all my needs and I think it gets the closest.
March 15, 2022
After saying Iād use this blog for my Daily Notes, looking back at it, I donāt love itā¦
March 15, 2022
Went down a rabbit hole last night looking into how I might be able to build a system within Drafts that can drive my Daily Notes and wiki-style note-taking⦠Donāt think I have the energy and know-how to actually implement at this point.
March 15, 2022
Think Iām going to set-up some new Draft actions to make posting quicker.
March 14, 2022
Iāve decided, for now, Iām staying away from Roam.
March 14, 2022
I set-up separate Shortcut actions for sending things to my Kinopio journals.
March 14, 2022
Half of me really wants to get back to using Roam on a daily basis for just jotting down thoughts and thinking through things⦠the other half of me wants to try to make it work here on TIV⦠the problem with TIV is not being able to see what Iāve written before while composingā¦
March 12, 2022
Iām typing these posts out pretty quickly with Drafts, but then I need to choose an action, type my permalink, add tags, and hit send.
March 11, 2022
I wonder if it would be possible to use the Roam API to post to this blog (Blot + Dropbox txt files).
March 11, 2022
I want a blog that works like Roam.
March 11, 2022
I miss the Futureland community, but Iām not sure how Iād want to use it now and it feels weird to just hop back in without intention at this point.
March 11, 2022
Iāve found myself pretty addicted to Are.

If I take some time to figure out relational databases in Notion, I think I can get my calendar closer to where I want it.
February 25, 2022
Set up the Notion calendar to basically show when a tv show is premiering itās first episode⦠would much rather have each episode show up, but Notionās calendaring system isnāt really designed for reoccurring eventsā¦
February 24, 2022
Built out a little calendar on Notion to keep track of upcoming tv shows, movies, and a few other things.
February 24, 2022
Not that I need a new productivity tool in my life⦠but I think I might be diving into Notion hereā¦
February 24, 2022
With the TestFlight beta, I think Iām actually going to give Logseq a real go now despite it being so long since Iāve even used Roam at this point.
January 5, 2022
Whelp, I got it working, mostly⦠the entries are a bit off center compared to the title and nav nowā¦
October 29, 2021
I donāt know if Iād actually be able to figure it out thoughā¦
October 29, 2021
I wonder if it would be beneficial to have the date between posts rather than off to the left side so the distinction between days is a little more clear.
October 29, 2021
Since Iāve been reading less on the internet over the past six months, Iāve had less to write aboutā¦
October 29, 2021
Successfully implemented the non-RSS feature on TIV.
October 28, 2021
Alright, reverted my fonts back to what I previously had.
October 28, 2021
Donāt think Iām digging these fontsā¦
October 27, 2021
The css file for my site is such a hodgepodge of stuff I just barely understood and have mostly forgotten that making any changes is rolling the dice of despair.
October 27, 2021
Curious what my blog would look like if I wrote in outlines
October 23, 2021
Updated and cleaned up my Central Hub today on Kinopio.
October 22, 2021
Although I donāt think Drummer is for me, seeing everyone use it makes me want to get back to this blog a bit more.

š¼ Some Sketchbook Pages
September 1, 2020
Been loving having a Field Notes book designated to sketching.
August 31, 2020
I really like the new Today pane in Day One, but wish this were the default way to open up the app.
August 7, 2020
Analog from Ugmonk looks pretty nifty.
June 23, 2020
Strongly considering switching to Seraphs Variable Font here.
April 14, 2020
I havenāt actually felt like sitting down and writing something in a really long time.
December 17, 2019
With microblogvember, Iāve been thinking about how a lot more average thoughts are worth posts, even if itās as simple as this.

āļø Live Blogging with Blot and Drafts
October 11, 2019
Iāve made some changes to the Shortcut that powers my Links page, displaying articles, podcasts, and videos consumed, to try to give more clarity, but Iām still struggling getting the podcast name, along with the episode title, through Shortuts (and Overcast).
July 16, 2019
Going to spend some time updating the site to improve live weblogs.
June 10, 2019
If I werenāt already way over my budget for May, Iād be buying a couple packs of Studio Neatās new Totebooks.
May 28, 2019
Looking for opinions.
February 23, 2019
Spent the weekend incorporating an edit button into one of my Blot blogs.

Went with Karla as my body font.

Went with some new fonts on The Independent Variable.
February 4, 2019
Inspired by h0p3ās wiki reviews, I built a Siri Shortcut that grabs all my posts from yesterday (through Dropbox), turns each title into a markdown link, and formats it in Drafts so I can add a note below each link as a daily review practice.
January 28, 2019
Iāve been kicking around some ideas for another blog.
January 17, 2019
Restructuring the site a little bit.

āļø Getting a Flickr Photo Link
December 14, 2018
Was looking at Flickr Pro as a place to store photos as well as host them for my Blot blog, but getting the actual image URL on an iPhone is incredibly tedious.
December 12, 2018
Spent a considerable amount of time tweaking my Now page Siri Shortcut.
November 22, 2018
Inspired by Where Is Felix, I made a Shortcut to create and update a Now page with Blot.

Any Blot folks use Github rather than Dropbox?
October 30, 2018
Trying to figure out the best way to delineate between link posts with a pull quote and extensive thoughts versus a link by itself, or maybe with a quick accompanying thought.
October 29, 2018
Iāve realized my favorite thing about having a blog is just tinkering around and learning different things you can do.
October 13, 2018
Discovered the issue with my blog posts from Blot to micro.
October 12, 2018
Iāve really enjoyed tinkering with Blot so far and going back through the last four years of blog posts to see how the conversion went.
October 11, 2018
Seems like I have to get something sorted out with the RSS feed since full posts arenāt coming though with links nowā¦
October 10, 2018
Besides a few tweaks needed for older posts in the feed, the move to Blot seems to be a resounding success.
October 10, 2018
Really digging blot so far.
