opened Microsoft Edge and there are a bunch of buttons on the right including one called "E-Tree" which I clicked and on clicking it it said "You've Got 10 Water Reward" and I have never been so direly confused about how I am supposed to react to something

one of the things i accept but don't honestly respect (i know, everyone's just hustling) is just how expensive and middling most farmers market/boutique granola is. folks will package up a cup and a half of granola in a cute kraft paper standup pouch and charge $15, it's pretty bold imo.

this eleven madison park granola recipe is solid and it's a pretty good value imo, it keeps in a restaurant quart container easily and accepts any dried or undried fruit you want, it's a solid base! anyhow, just wanted to share this, it's one of my go-to recipes

this recipe is solid (gift nyt link), been making it for years, the initial outlay if you have absolutely none of these things is around $90 depending on where you shop (i know i know, that's not cheap) but the food cost for the whole recipe is about $16 or about $2 dollar per serving. It's not a hard recipe and you can adapt it pretty easily (i usually double up the coconut chips).

@bryanjclark yeah, i forget what it was, but it was basically a map and list view on a collection of lat lon points/names you set and some notes, but i forget if it was more detailed, i couldn't remember if this was a Real App or just something i imagined. threadnote is awesome, totally in the vein of The Dream of Lotus Notes being alive for the iphone

@bryanjclark dude, was there some app you had recommended that let you make a semi-offline travel/trip guide for ios, like you could just throw a bunch of pins somewhere and some notes and you could refer to it easily without having to trawl through google searches or their bad custom maps on ios implementation

@androidqueen oh, i meant re: philip glass! new order, yes, i love to dip into substance and power corruption lies as my comfort food, but you should totes look into Polyrock, they're a weird and delightful footnote in the world of philip glass https://open.spotify.com/album/4EMrVuBXbVoksyn4dPnj5T

the most confounding thing i continue to experience on a nearly weekly basis is driving behind somebody who hits their brakes and then, with brake lights still engaged, proceeds to accelerate away from me. do people use their left foot to brake and right to accelerate and sometimes mash both?

@bryanjclark but the nps score possibilities, bryan!!

@androidqueen what albums or “era”? did you land on polyrock at any point during the year?

@kavehv first ten seconds of don't stop still gives me goosebumps

music is so great, i turn on basement jaxx's remedy immediately for just a moment i'm back in high school, listening to it on a discman on the bus to school

@scientiffic i thought they were a way to quickly coordinate a bedroom without having to find a whole comforter cover and matching set, but like this is a level of accessorizing and interior design i have not ascended to yet

still annoyed that dan brown foisted 'symbology' onto the world two decades ago

absolutely going to check in some code that describes access persimmons and realizing i’ll end up adding fuyu and hachiya acl levels, you know, “just because”

@bvaughn had the same experience with powerline btw, some work being done on my house now and finally have a reason/way to run ethernet to random spots in the house

@bvaughn do you have to fish that ethernet or does it already exist?

@vaurora @lindsey @jpf oblong was so cool! i loved the one demo app they had with all the rotoscoped segments from Playtime, i wish id had more time to work with it when i was at risd

@omar that's awesome! it was very capable, and it was very well thought out, it was incredibly possible to wire stuff together and achieve the sort of neutral netvibes aesthetic with very little effort

just had a flashback to developing code for netvibes
