My morning so far… Low tire pressure light, found a nail in a tire. Dropped the car off to get the tire replaced. Coffee nearby at Turnstile, watching server log files. 🙁

With the news that Tumblr is planning ActivityPub support, a quick reminder that you can already follow any Tumblr user from Micro.blog. Just enter someone.tumblr.com in Micro.blog's Discover search! I use this for following a few artists and writers.

We started using Cloudfront last week and tonight I nervously signed in to Amazon, realizing I had no idea how much we were going to be charged. Answer: $0, for now. Amazon's pricing is so confusing. One of the reasons I prefer Linode.

Nice thread here with holiday movie recommendations... About time to review my top Christmas movie list and see if it needs any updates.

Old mailboxes on Burnet Road.

I was joking about this with my family but can't stop thinking about it... Imagine a Sprinter van, outfitted with bed, kitchen, all the usual camper van upgrades. Now paint it gray and add an Amazon Prime logo. Easy parking anywhere without questions!

Quick test from MarsEdit 5's new quick post window, using a global keyboard shortcut. Nice!

For the Thanksgiving edition of Core Intuition, we talked about… Twitter again! Does Elon know what he’s doing? Should I be CEO instead? Will MarsEdit 5 ship? Enjoy. 🦃

It was nice to mostly take a break yesterday. I know Thanksgiving is just a United States thing, but I like that it's non-offensive to everyone... Let's just chill and reflect on what we're thankful for. Now back to work! Coffee at Rêve in Lafayette and rolling out M.b fixes. ☕️

Should've done this last week, but just added ⚽️ to the featured emoji menu in Micro.blog on the web.

Another photo from our quick coffee stop in Opelousas. Old federal building, unused now, built in 1891.

Released an updated Micro.blog for macOS today with a few tweaks. More consistent progress indicators, better Mastodon username highlighting when writing a new post.

Great to see 2 new plug-ins recently available on Micro.blog: "Cards Theme" by @ericgregorich, which styles posts with an outline like separate cards; and "Bookshelf shortcode" by @kottkrig, for making a page that includes one or more bookshelves.

Jamie Zawinski: Do Not Use Services That Hate The Internet. This is where I say that Micro.blog is made by people who love the web. It's possible for app-only networks (see: Glass) to evolve to work with the web, but it's easier to start with open, web-first platforms.
