So I'm going public with a project I've been working on: github.com/Tend-Notes/tend/. I've been disappointed at the state of note-taking tools. Too complicated, too monetized, too unstable. I set out to build a self-hosted, always free, outliner/digital garden, based on Markdown, accessible from anywhere with a browser, with optional encryption, backlinks, bullet cross referencing, etc. Very alpha, no representations or warranties, provided AS-IS. AI-assisted development. #indieweb #selfhosting
The #dog is … well she’s monorailing, which I’ve never seen a dog do before.
Bought my wife a microwaveable heating stuffie. The stuffie is a #capybara. The result is … disturbing.
This is the only reasonable response.
Did … did a serial killer write this slogan? #marketing #murder #remains

A while back we got my wife a balloon and flowers for an excellent #professional achievement. Shortly after, the #cat nibbled the balloon string and it’s been just roaming the house ever since. We’d find it in the living room, in the dining room, a couple of times in the bedroom attacking the ceiling fan.

Lately it’s been on the floor, and it tried to get out the front door twice yesterday.

I told the family it’s time to discuss putting it down.

“WE JUST AREN’T READY,” they cried.

Well, it’s June again #weather #tampa #florida #funderstorm
When you care about the squirrels and it’s #florida
Why exactly would the #AI know who you are and your demographic information in order to make these recommendations? This is almost fascinatingly disgusting.
