Hell yeah to the delivery drivers doing the early rounds today for the Switch 2. Also uh… thanks Walmart for the treats? (I asked the driver - they weren’t his and he didn’t want them lol). Gonna be hard to work today.

I used Figma’s new MCP Server to generate some UI code. It worked. Then it didn’t. AI isn’t magic. It’s a dishwasher. It’s not here to change your life. It’s here to rinse off the boring stuff. danhannigan.me/practical-ai...

Finally got around to watching Civil War... not sure if that would have been better before November, or now. But damn.

Had to pop bsky and threads off my phone, again. Here on my desktop though (he screams into the void)

Yeah, this is pretty rad. lbbonline.com/news/philips...

Now that Surf has been kicking around in beta for a bit, does anyone have any thoughts on it? I haven't been able to pop in but I'm curious!

Why do I want to be Baby Billy as Teenjus for Halloween?

reMarkable is advertising hard as hell to me right now. They really wanna push stock before May I’m guessing.

61 days without alcohol today 😊 my liver is probably getting happier, also my nighttime anxiety is practically nonexistent. Loving this feeling

Somehow managed to snag a Switch 2 for both Jana and myself last night on Walmart (thanks for the tip, Phil H) - but now I'm like... is it real? Can it be? Ah the joy of modern capitalism and this hellscape of scalpers, scams, false-scarcity, and more.

Nothing activates my magical thinking like not getting a Switch 2 and instantly blaming it on that one time I said, “Not worth it without a new Animal Crossing.” The universe heard me and punished me

Eeeee Oblivion remaster lets goooo

@usetrmnl.com hi! If I wanted to create my own views for the Apple Calendar plugin - what would make the most sense? Forking the repo and PRing? Building my own private recipe? Trying to drum up something without being redundant/duplicative

New Atlassian / Jira / Confluence design is kinda funky but I dig it (and I spend too much time in those apps)

It’s here! Stoked for this little TRMNL screen (@usetrmnl.com). Can’t wait to start tinkering!

After a few rounds with eye doctors I'm moving forward with getting a Scleral contact for my right eye, and a soft contact for my left. I'm so stoked! The doc might be able to get my right eye dialed in to 20/20 and even help reduce the nasty glare/blurring I have in my right eye! Yay!

Okay watched the Murderbot trailer finally and yeah, I think the casting could be pretty good, actually. Neat :) looking forward to it more

In my head I always pictured Murderbot as androgynous but slightly more femme presenting - my bad? That said I do love some Skarsgård and will probably enjoy the ride anyway

Allergies and possibly a cold really hit my goals this week-ish. (On the wall calendar one green dot = 10 mins of exercise, brown dot = no drinking)

Finally beat Avowed. All in all not too bad. A bit repetitive near the end, lots of lore and story if you looked for it, though.

Doing the silly "maybe if I reset who I'm following and then be selective about who I'm following I'll enjoy social media more" exercise – so if I follow/unfollow you just know that I'm in that *phase* that we all seem to go through.

First leg day in a while, very wobbly today.

Assassins Creed Shadows good 👍

Swapped my Peloton shoes for these lovely Specialized Torch 2.0s. So much lighter, better fit, better tech. So worth it - time to clock more miles on the bike 🚲

Severance season finale good 👍

I enjoy self-hosting my @ghost.org site most of the time. But not today. Today I am jealous. Also big congrats to the ghost folk for getting ActivityPub integration into beta. What a big step! activitypub.ghost.org/social-web-b...

Do apple music embeds work? Eegad they do music.apple.com/us/album/sma...

I mean, hell, we're even going to postpone our honeymoon that would take us *out* of the country because of this shit.

Went a lil overboard with some new cookbooks from the bookstore 🤭

A friend went to Thailand and brought back some coffee for me! Pretty excited to try this, also love the packaging ☕️

Oh, doctor visits. Fatty Liver diagnosis two weeks ago, Keratoconus today (weird shaped eye that could get worse) — but hey, at least it's all hopefully treatable with action.

Picked up a Kobo Libra Color to replace my cracked Kindle Oasis (RIP), and so far, it’s… fine? It works. It lets me read in my dark little cave without Amazon breathing down my neck. Not perfect, but a solid e-reader. Thoughts + nitpicks in my latest post: danhannigan.me/kobo-libra-c...

Forgot to lock our car in the garage yesterday. Wouldn’t have known anything was amiss if I hadn’t found a random chopstick in the passenger seat. They took my prescription sunglasses (have fun with those), and my Costco/Gym membership cards (they even put the rest of the cards back nicely). Wtf?
