President's Day in the United States was recognized yesterday. But George Washington was born on February 22. For Washington's birthday - a short piece on a 1793 Masonic portrait of the first President.

Masonic Portrait of George Washington

In 1793, George Washington sat for a Masonic portrait commissioned by the Alexandria Lodge. I reprint the painting and look into the history behind it.

I have some RSS/Atom content in my article pipeline. It occurred to me that it would be exhausting prefacing every article with an explanation of what these things are. For that reason, I wrote a general introduction to RSS, feeds, and feed readers (aided by the perfect public domain clip art image).

For WordPress admins, a full post on the aesthetic sitemaps generated by The SEO Framework, a clean SEO plugin that I am enjoying thus far (only hiccup is my account being disconnected twice - will see if that issue persists).

had to explain RSS to two fellow gen z-ers

me: its kind of like subscribing for updates on a website, before "following" was a thing.

them: oh, is that something new?

me: actually closed "following" on walled gardens, like twitter, kind of killed out a lot of RSS for our generation, but there are people who still use it and find it handy

them: wait, so i don't need to make an account?

me: no.

A few weeks ago, I posted screenshots of an AmigaOS-inspired theme that I am using for XFWM4 on Manjaro's XFCE edition (scroll down on my Pixelfed for the image). Before I started using Manjaro XFCE in July 2021, I had been using Manjaro KDE Plasma. With KDE, I used an aesthetic Mondrian-inspired theme, pictured here, which I reviewed in early 2021. I have not used it since I switched from KDE to XFCE, but it is still available - so I presume it works as well as it did when I had it installed.

In 2020, I overheard first date conversation while walking past a restaurant. A lady, in words not entirely amenable publication on a family website, made clear to her date that she does not associate with men who went to jail. Fortunately, her date assured her that he had never been in that sort of temporary housing. Had the lady been burned before? I wonder.

My thoughts as we just cross the 70% mark on updating the AUR ungoogled-chromium package after about 75 minutes.

Nintendo making Pokémon Bank free - and looks like it will be maintained beyond 2023. I am working on a project to beat Pokémon Colosseeum for the first time in a long time and port Pokémon all the way to Switch. On one hand, Nintendo's announcement is good news - but on the other, it probably won't make me not procrastinate.
