Day 144.
I finally caved: I bought some clippers and cut/trimmed my hair. It’s certainly not an amazing haircut, but it is amazing that I didn’t completely destroy my hair.
Day 100.
Happy Father’s Day.
It’s currently 92° and feels like 96°. I spent maybe 10 minutes outdoors with a mask on and it was unbearably hot.
Those visiting Orlando theme parks this summer are in for a real treat. 😷
Social distancing day 80.
I’ve left my 900 ft2 apartment three times in the past 11+ weeks. The only face-to-face-ish interaction I’ve had in that time was with a pharmacist at my local pharmacy’s drive-up window.
Random memory I had last night: remember the Internet in the late 1990s/early 2000s when web-safe colors were a thing because computers only displayed 256 colors?
Even more random is that John Siracusa also mentioned web-safe colors on this week’s ATP.
There will be a minor baby boom in nine months.
Then, one day in 2034, we will witness the rise of the quaranteens.
Today I Learned: Safari for iOS’s share sheet “Copy” option copies the site’s canonical URL (via link rel=canonical).
I’d never put much thought into what was happening until a GitHub Pages site’s URL was copied as localhost, which freaked me out.
iPad Pro 11” owners: do you have a case you particularly like?
I’m looking to replace my current case and I’d like something that:
- is lightweight
- provides good coverage
- if possible, can be converted into a stand that is stable and has good viewing angles
