    Stockpiling post-hoc rationalizations for the future.

    In the FLDS are the women's dresses color coded? I see some wearing red, others blue or green. Is it like Star Trek uniforms? If Emma is in red she works engineering or security? And if Abigail is in blue she works science or medical?

    I installed the SwitchBot Bot on my kitchen ceiling lights switch. By itself it can run over Bluetooth, but I paired it with the SwitchBot Hub 2 which allows WiFi control.

    It really works (so far). It'll be interesting to see how the battery life is; it runs on just a coin battery. 😬

    It's Matter compatible (with the hub). I got it into Apple Home that way, but Google and Home Assistant are possible too, apparently.

    This was a great exercise for me. I've never done VBA in Word before. I'm probably going to automate a bunch more of the laborous actions I need to do in Word frequently.

    In Word I do this a lot with images:

    1. Set wrapping to top/bottom
    2. Make image equal body width
    3. Set image to follow text
    4. Set image below text
    5. Turn off allow overlap
    6. Lock anchor

    I finally decided to write some vba to do this:

    pastebin.com/a2gGS6VS

    It should work with any number of selected objects.

    If you add this to the "Normal" template you can access it in any Word document. I also added it as a button in Word's toolbar.

    This usb4/thunderbolt hub comes with a massive power brick. Wasn't expecting this.

    Went to Alamo Drafthouse Theater to see this little kickstarter funded indie film 'Two Sleepy People'. It made me cry a lot. Haven't had a movie affect me like that in a long time. 🥺

    It co-stars and is co-written by Caroline Grossman whom I've been following for years on YouTube. She makes hilarious videos and songs. Going into the movie I didn't even realize she was in it, so that was a nice surprise.

    Is AppleScript still worth learning in 2026? Shortcuts.app on the Mac I'm finding to be rather limited. I know Shortcuts can be augmented with AppleScript, but it can also run JavaScript too. Can JavaScript in this context do everything AppleScript can do?

    I really liked illymation’s newest video as an introduction to body neutrality and some health-at-every-size principles. She referenced one of my favorite podcasts too, Maintenance Phase.
