This is an active timeline of what I'm up to online. It encompasses the various places I post and should stay up to date.
an addendum to my last post on firefighting...
October has come! Here is the first week notes of the month!
are you going to be a firefighter? an arsonist? or maybe a fire marshal???
@wq i'm so jealous of you at FF. lol. I really wanted to go to either it or Best Friends Forever fest but alas it wasn't in the cards this year. Hope it's a blast! I'm living vicariously through your pics!
Seriously considering this humble bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-heroes-in-halfshell-books Anyone have any thoughts/reviews of the TMNT comics??? Loved the series and movies when I was a kid
This week was good because my wife got not 1 but 2 job offers. On the same day. Within an hour of each other. They were both really good offers and the decision seemed to be just about as traumatic as the job search itself but she decided and starts

Sometimes it feels like βLetβs Game It Outβ is in charge of the government and I look outside expecting to see a giant wooden plank bobbing around in the air.
Updated the body font on https://krrd.ing this evening to hopefully make it a bit more readable. Iβm not a design guy but I try.
For the second weekend in a row it was just me and the kids. Last weekend my wife had a book club retreat and this weekend she had a ladies sunday school retreat. For the second weekend in a row we had a crappy "Friday Night Dinner" experience.
shouldn't we all be against fascism?
π‘ Fav pizza place changed GF crust since we last visited. It was the best in town but they did away with it and replaced with a cauliflower crust thatβs horrendous. My kids wonβt even touch it. So frustrated.
βHow do I calm the anxiety Iβm feeling watching my country fall prey to the lies of fascism? I create.β This is part of the posture I want to have. https://www.threads.com/@matthewpaulturner/post/DOv-chdAOEI

breathe out - release the week. breathe in - prepare for the next one. it's weeknotes time!
a lament about an ugly day. sorry not sorry about ignoring capitalization rules today.
the most challenging part of migrating off of icloud? figuring out what to do with the photos. this is the culmination of what i've figured out for that...
It's kind of hard to believe August is over. It's also kind of hard to believe the week is already over. While we are at it, it's also hard to believe we live in a time where the US president is declaring war on

I love this reflection on blogging. It's beautifully written and captures some of what it feels like to blog and maintain a "fortress". oglink: https://meadow.cafe/blog/a-fortress-called-blog/
some thoughts about a conversation overheard in a coffeeshop and an encouragement for church to embrace its call to expose empire for the sham that it is.

As today closes, August closes. That's hard to believe as it's been a busy month. This week was no different from the others. My wife had 3 second interviews and 1 first interview this week which is great. Our daughter broke her first bracket in her
After 6 months with Immich I'm giving self-hosting ente a try. After a day I can say the mobile experience is **a lot** better and the backup experience is easier too. It's interesting that they push so much off on to the apps though rather than
Some musings on community that came from starting a re-read of Torture and Eucharist by William Cavanaugh.
This YT feels like necessary watching. It's not easy & the frank discussions of genocide could be triggering (take it slow or don't watch if so). It's important for understanding the current situation though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwpanShgOp4

When I started the omglol interview series on my blog I wondered what Iβd do if someone I interviewed left the omglol community and decided on βnot much of anythingβ because the people in the community are open, welcoming, inclusive and sincerely worth knowing. Some links might go stale

I thought I'd detail my process of self hosting ghost, in case it'd help anyone. It's required quite a bit of tinkering to get fully setup (but half of that is probably self-inflicted).
"Round Here (1994/Live At ElysΓ©e Montmartre, Paris)" by Counting Crows View original
one more that likely won't ever get any sort of studio release: Post Malone doing smells like Teen Spirit with former Nirvana members: https://youtu.be/pB7Cmayu56g?si=-L5dA4-HOlVRpFSXcc: @cory you might appreciate this one too
Because @cory reminded me of it, I'll share this epic Sufjan song that I've never seen released anywhere. It's called Majesty Snowbird and it's 10 minutes of glorious instrumentation and vocals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGiat_6BFI0
Here's another to chill with this evening. Round Here by Counting Crows performed in Paris in '94 with extra verses and lyrics. Just stunningly beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eZrfzybFTs
