Congrats @ccgus on 20 years of Flying Meat. I like the idea of marking anniversaries by when the domain name was registered! Acorn is on sale for just $20.

Of course I have today's hearing on in the background while I work. Rusty Bowers is a really strong witness. 🇺🇸

As today’s January 6th hearing went on I became more and more glued to it. Can only imagine what Shaye Moss and others receiving threats and harassment have had to go through. Hope there are enough good people to step up to the job running elections this fall and in 2024. 🇺🇸

Whipped up a little plug-in to make it easier to disable search engine indexing via robots.txt.

You may have noticed that we added a new status bubble to Micro.blog on the web. Makes it easier to tell if Micro.blog is still working on publishing your blog post when it takes more than a few seconds. It also links to your log so you can jump to recent progress messages.
Great behind-the-scenes post about building the "Bubble Up" feature in Hey email.

A little surprised that it took them this long to build Twitter Notes. Not a good replacement for a real blog with your own URLs. We don't need more content locked away in silos.

The January 6th hearings are pretty serious stuff, so I love today's break to lighten the mood a little with hilarious conspiracy theories. I didn't remember this one about Italian military satellites changing votes. Adam Kinzinger seemed about ready to laugh. 🇺🇸

When I'm frustrated about something I can't directly control, I've learned that the best thing to do is to refocus on creating something new. There is a lot to do. Put some music on. Listening to Running Up That Hill. 🎶

Excited to demo a new multiple-post, batch find and replace feature in Micro.blog we added this week. I recorded a 3-minute video on YouTube that walks through how it works.

A powerful statement from the dissent:
The majority has overruled Roe and Casey for one and only one reason: because it has always despised them, and now it has the votes to discard them. The majority thereby substitutes a rule by judges for the rule of law.
More good highlights from Daring Fireball.

Micro.blog plug-ins can have a settings screen to change config parameters. I've added a new field type "color" that I'm hoping will be useful to customize the design of more themes. Modern web browsers provide a color picker for these. (Example config for this screenshot.)
Crossing the Brazos River where San Felipe de Austin was located in the 1820s, part of Stephen F. Austin’s colony.
Published episode 519 of @coreint. We talk more about MarsEdit moving to the new web view, balancing native and web development, and a discussion in the WordPress community about open source obligations.

Interesting case about eminent domain for a high-speed train between Dallas and Houston. I don't get why people fight these rail projects. The cows will be fine and the costs aren't going to matter decades from now.

Brenham courthouse from yesterday’s short road trip. Built in 1939. Would be fun to visit all 254 county courthouses in Texas.
