Watched: Crystal Lake Season 1 🍿
Origin story… Had some great moments and overall worth the watch.
I often look at AI solutions being shared broadly and ask myself, “is this helping solve a real problem?”. Tim Ferris summarized my rationale for this in a very succinct way:
Technology tools and AI in particular are accelerants. They make more of whatever it is. And if you do not first identify the critical few, the very, very limited set of things that stand a chance of making a huge difference, AI, and so on, simply multiplies the useless and multiplies the unimportant, the trivial, the distracting, and you can end up then trying to automate all of those things.
Continuing my Linux as personal daily driver experiment. Today I took a few minutes to get fonts and printing sorted out. The default font used in Obsidian on Linux looked pretty bad printed out. Much better now that I’ve set liberation-sans as the default font there.
I’ve wasted too much time (twice) updating the default calendar in Omarchy to use Monday as the first day of the week.
Turns out you can just click the “W” in the calendar view.
That updates a setting in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json:
{
"id": "omarchy.clock",
"weekStartDay": "monday"
}

I’m still suggesting this but it hit me hard in several places.
Americans stopped throwing parties. Even more fundamentally, they stopped visiting each other.

I’m such a fan of privacy.com for virtual debit cards. It has great privacy characteristics, plus it’s also saved be probably $200 this year alone by blocking subscription renewals without my explicit approval.

I finished the Superior 100mi trail race!
The race was Sept 11-12 and I’ve been recovering well. So grateful that my training went well and I had a great crew supporting me through the race.

Didn’t realize my friend Matt was going to be playing bass in a jazz group at the State Fair. Imagine my surprise when we realized “hey we know that guy!” 🎶
