Bluebonnets around the neighborhood.
As Micro.blog hosting has improved, I've thought our $5/month plan compares favorably with WordPress.com's similarly-priced plans. Surprised that WordPress.com has now gutted their pricing lineup, with nothing in between $0 and $180/year. $5 to me is still simple and obvious.

On a whim, created a web page on my blog with a grid of all my Wordle puzzles for March. Kind of a nice snapshot of my mornings this year.

If anyone's curious how I made my Wordle page, I copied my puzzles from where I had shared them via Slack and iMessage, and formatted them in a basic HTML file. Then created a new template static/wordle/index.html in my Micro.blog theme. View source for the HTML bits.

Twitter announces more Bluesky details:
Starting as a centralized platform, Twitter can take steps to open up APIs and provide choices to users, and this can be a path towards restoring trust in the current service. The premise of Bluesky, however, is to work towards a transparent and verifiable system from the bottom up by building a network that is open by default.

On this week’s Core Intuition, we talk all about the WWDC announcement. Because of course we do! Mostly online, potential for a small in-person group, and other hopes and speculation.

When at home I'll eat a quick lunch in front of the TV. Make lunch, turn on CNN. It's a commercial break. Switch to MSNBC. More ads. Try ESPN. Still ads. Channel surf for a few more minutes, but now I'm done with lunch, often without seeing any real content. And I pay for this?

We just posted a new episode of Extra Intuition, our special podcast for @coreint members:
Daniel and Manton talk about accents, and why Manton doesn’t have one after growing up in Texas.
It’s been a while but we want to get more into the routine of posting these.

Finished a bunch of work this morning, now taking some time to get into the 2nd book of The Kingkiller Chronicle. Already can tell I’m going to love it. 📚
On the road today, stopped at Pinewood Coffee in Waco. Nice outside courtyard space. ☕️
