Code and coffee session working on my new website this morning was something of a success. Added new jobs to import starred Github repos and liked Instapaper articles to my bookmarks collection. I also added my Micro.blog posts to the homepage.
It was a big week this week for my oldest, as he officially signed to pursue a golf scholarship in the States with FirstPoint USA. He has a lot of work ahead regarding studies, golf and promotion. If the right offer comes through, it would be the start of a life-changing experience for him.
Another paper product for the analog nerds. The Sidekick Notepad. Interesting idea, but I don’t think it would actually fit on my current desk.
I wish people would return to self-hosted websites, aka blogs. The fact that everyone seems to be publishing their content in newsletters is driving me bananas. I want to stumble upon your content when I am strolling through my favorite bookmarked gardens. Not in my inbox.

Amen. Bonus points for websites that also provide an RSS feed.
Using AI to design a better golf putter? Sounds more like marketing hype to me. And using “ai” in the product name is a big turn-off for me.
The trailer for season 3 of Slow Horses has dropped.
Between this and For All Mankind, my winter television viewing is sorted. Also, it might be time to start reading the Slow Horses books.
Everywhere I go on the web, I still see sites using the old Twitter “bird” branding in images, buttons and links. In fact, I can’t recall if I’ve ever seen the “X” branding being used anywhere other than on X itself.
What a blog should be
Words I wish I had read when I started this whole online thing.
And, that’s exactly what a blog should be — a reflection of your interest and attention over time. A reflection of who you are right now and where you’ve been. Blogs are living things that should grow at the same rate we do.
— This blog is 20 years old today by Patrick Rhone
I’ve chopped and changed domains and blogs so many times over the last 15 or so years that I wouldn’t be able to lay claim over any period of significant blogging.
It’s only now that I’m starting to make a bit of sense of where everything should be. Yip, I wish I had words like this when I started blogging.
Anyway, happy anniversary, Patrick!
“The Bear” has been renewed for a third season.
Love the show, the cast and the story. Can’t wait to see where it goes with season 3.
The perks of living in Arizona.
It is nice to live in a state that does not have to change its clocks.
I can never understand why we still need to do this.
