Why can’t every New Year’s Eve fall on an NFL game day? It’s much more entertaining than the usual drivel you see on the telly on New Year’s Eve.

I have a couple of errands to run this morning, including holiday haircuts for myself and the boys. After that, it’s back home for some brunch. I’m also going to crack open the Dailymuse app to continue working on a new feature for it. Yeah, even on holiday, I’m still writing code.

Have we reached peak saturation point with these annual reviews from different products and services yet on how we used them?

My music player, app launcher and bank have each notified me about my review of the year on their service.

Skipping the golf today. The boys are going to the indoor studio instead for a hit. I think I’ll just potter about the house instead.

Given the increasing use of portrait mode as dictated by mobile phone screens, I’m curious if I’ll ever get to the point in my web development career where I’ll have my desktop screens in portrait mode.

Once again I find myself scrambling about in my web history looking for a link that I read a few weeks ago but didn’t bookmark. 🤦‍♂️

Last night, I started adding a blog to my website. Managed to get a couple of test posts rendered.

It’s nothing fancy, just a bunch of markdown files picked up by Rails and rendered as HTML using RedCarpet and Tailwind Typography. Will polish it up tonight and start adding the RSS feed.
