Sometimes it’s hard to stay positive.

Sometimes the day wears me down a bit and when everyone goes to bed it’s too easy to just feel defeated.

Sometimes a cool idea for a project I’m digging into to keep myself from depression just reminds me of the people I can’t share it with anymore.

How do you resist the feelings of loss when it’s the light itself casting those shadows?

I miss the old normal. This new one is bullshit.

@ivory I’m enjoying ivory for the most part but there is one thing that really irritates me: when I open an image full screen and want to close it I tend to swipe up, which in ivory starts an animation where the image gets flung off the screen.

I usually don’t swipe aggressively, and frequently find that I get locked into a very long animation where the image meanders to the edge of the screen. I hate this so very much.

Can I turn off that animation? I wasn’t able to find a setting for it.

Hear me out. All mobile apps should be required to publish their monetization strategy on the App Store page.

"Requires micro transactions for non cosmetic items" would save me so much time.

House is empty tonight so I’m taking the opportunity to practice my new sax late into the night.

I sound like shit but I can’t stop playing so I guess I’m having fun.

You know what I miss about being a kid? Praise for daily normal things.

When you’re a kid and you go to the dentist and don’t cry, everyone tells you that you’re doing a super job and they’re so proud of you. As an adult, it’s expected and not noteworthy.

I would kill for a “you did a great job today, sport! I’m very proud of you!”

I decided it was time to chronicle my descent into the madness which is custom ergonomic keyboards. Writing it out made me feel like the world’s biggest nerd.
