I recently lamented about how few options there are for Micropub posting on iOS now that Indigenous was pulled from the app store.

How many of you still have shortcuts from before Shortcuts was a default app on your phone?
For a while, I attempted to track my reading on this website as part of my experiment with Indieweb technology.

I have wanted to get an Owlab Spring keyboard for a while now.

Currently, I’m using NPKC gradient PBT Doubleshot side-lit keycaps from Drop.com and TTC Bluish White switches. I don’t mind the switches on this board, but I don’t actually have enough of them, so I’m also using the Tecsee Ice Candy in the number row.
It’s been a while since I’ve been on Mastodon — this is my first syndicated post from sleepyowl.ink, let’s see how this goes.
This year’s orchid blooms. My first year with a miltoniopsis orchid. 🌱
I’m doing STEPtember this year – a fundraiser for further research into Cerebral Palsy.
To reach my step goal, I’ll most likely be on the treadmill for every Team meeting for the next month.
