Since that one time that I wrote a review of the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard for you nerds, I’ve only come to love my UHK more. I’m officially a mechanical keyboard guy at this point. Much like the right band can ease me into a whole genre of music I hadn’t previously appreciated, it’s turned me on to all kinds of mechanical keyboards and related pursuits I just couldn’t get into before.

I think brainstorming is one of my favorite activities. While some of my brainstorming leads to making cool things, I have piles of mind maps for ideas I’ve never started working on, probably never will, and that doesn’t bother me at all. I enjoy the process, and I love having the trove of inspiration.

While Firefox has made very impressive strides, I still use Chrome as my primary browser. It’s due in no small part to the Workona extension, but that’s beside the point of this post. I wanted to talk about one of my favorite little productivity tips for Chrome that doesn’t require any extensions or hacks.

Oh good, that headline worked as planned. I used an odd number as recommended by clickbait experts, and you clicked. The system works.

I’ve published over 100 projects over the years. In posts here, as projects, on GitHub, sometimes just zip files to Twitter. A lot of them I create out of curiosity, then let them go. I want to take a quick stock of the other kind, projects that filled a need so well for me that I not only maintain them, I use them daily. While I’m looking to satisfy my own curiosity, I’ll just go ahead and highlight some of them.

Welcome to another year of my “best of” lists. I’m throwing it all into one post this year, so the list is a little shorter than years past. I have my reasons.

It’s harder than you might think to find a date-based stock photo with a tone anything less than “jubilant excitement.” All I wanted was 2019 in a shade of “cautious optimism,” but no. It’s all fireworks and sunrises. This one will have to do.

Some of you may recall a publication created by Aaron Mahnke (now better known for Lore) called Read & Trust. It was a zine-style collection of works by a group of trusted bloggers. I was flattered to be included in it, and wrote a few pieces for it over the course of a year.

I’ve always used dark color schemes for coding. I never use dark themes for writing, and I’m not a fan of Dark Mode in Mojave, but for some reason I’ve always gravitated to light-on-dark for coding. I decided to try a change, and I’ve been quite happy with the results.
