It’s good to know that in these dark times we can still experience joy. #FixinToBlowItUp

I have moved Indiepaper's site parsing to a self-hosted version of Postlight Mercury Parser, as they're shutting down their service. They've open sourced the project and made it easy to deploy to @awscloud Lambda. LMK if you have trouble!
I have successfully connected my three @wyzecam cameras to Apple HomeKit as motion sensors using a combination of @ifttt, homebridge, and @awscloud (Lambda, SQS, and API Gateway). Hooray for homegrown home automation! 🏡🤖📹
Okay, I've also rolled out a bunch of visual tweaks and improvements to microgram. Users – you don't need to do anything to get all of the goodness. Thanks to all for the suggestions!
Similarly, Micro.blog users may have noticed issues with my microgram project, where photo grid pages wouldn't display some photos. This is caused by an upstream issue with Micro.blog and image thumbnails, and is being worked on!
Any Micro.blog users that were noticing problems with my micromemories project for creating an "On This Day" page, I finally tracked down the issue and deployed a fix. Let me know if you still run into issues!
Sticky Toffee Pudding is my favorite dessert of all time, and America’s Test Kitchen has some of the most reliable recipes on the planet. Just finished watching this episode and nearly passed out.

The new LEGO movie was aces! Took William to see it tonight, and we both loved it. 🧱 🎉
GitHub has introduced "status updates" a-la Twitter and Facebook. The jokes write themselves! #GoForkYourself #VersionedTweets
As of last night, newer posts on my website now feature an interactive map showing my location, speed, altitude, iPhone charge level, and more at the date and time of publish. Whee! Here is a good example post – https://
Been enjoying @awscloud DocumentDB. I definitely wish that there was a developer-friendly tier, or better yet, an entirely consumption-based version a-la Aurora Serverless. In fact, I wish nearly everything was available that way!
Excited for the Super Bowl! Hopefully the Rams can pull it out for the good of the country. I am betting that 75% of the country is pulling for the Rams, but that 75% of the stadium will be Pats fans. Go Rams! 🐏 🏈 🤩🦉 #SuperbOwl
Wouldn’t it be great if Netflix or Amazon made an animated adaptation of Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files? A man can dream!
This FaceTime bug is bad. Really bad. Especially for a company that is pitching itself as the most privacy-centric in the industry. You know what’s worse? Coming out and saying that you’ll have a fix “later in the week.” Yikes! Way, way too long.
The Presidential candidate in 2020 who focuses the most on stripping the Presidency of unreasonable powers, adding checks and balances, and preventing ridiculous tactics like politically motivated shutdowns will get my vote. De-fang the Presidency! Codify norms!
Can someone please invent a biodegradable disposable drinking straw that is better than the terrible paper monstrosities that are now dominating the market? Soggy, wet paper straws are gross.
