Or rather, the first class seat of the United Airlines flight to Dulles Airport. Thank you for the upgrade, United, though I would gladly trade status for having to travel less! of Miami International Airport, with 10 flights ahead of us.
While waiting, I am:
Happily on paternity leave, breaks for the occasional Very Important Conference notwithstanding. It was baby number four and rearing an infant is one of those things that does in fact get easier with age.
Continuing my detachment from Apple. The M1 Macbook Air now dual boots to Asahi Linux, and most of my text wrangling is now on Emacs. It started with Emacs org-mode as a replacement for OmniFocus, progressed to mu4e for email, and now with much help from Google Gemini even this blog is (mostly) managed through Emacs.
Which is the third thing I am doing: developing — in the loosest sense of the term since Gemini is doing most of the work — an Emacs microblogging (Microbe) and RSS feed reader (Inkling). Neither would be possible without Micro.blog and Inkwell from Manton Reece. Open APIs FTW.
