So, it’s one of these this morning? Phew!

“Noise, noise, noise. Shmokin’ weed, shmokin’ weed, doing coke, drinkin’ beers. Pack of wraps, my good man. Time to kick back, drink some beers, and shmoke some weed!” 🎥

“You know what they say about this type of operation: чем меньше вы знаете, тем лучше.” 🎥

“Vince Neil only did thirty days, and he killed somebody.” 🎥

“I want to get one thing straight here, or I’m walkin’ too. I don’t work on January the 8th … ’cause that’s Elvis’s birthday.” 🎥

Downgrading my work rig to Sequoia. I cannot tolerate the bad UI any longer.

“Merry New Year!” 🎥

I used Omarchy exclusively at work yesterday and it was such a blast. I was able to do all my work tasks without any issues. Once I get used to the keybindings, I’ll be unstoppable. https://omarchy.org #Omarchy #Linux #OpenSource #SysAdmin

During the week, I switched to reading 📖 at bedtime instead of watching videos 📺. I feel more rested in the morning as a result. I ought to do the same for the weekends.

“I know he can get the job. But, can he do the job?” 🎥

“Look, we want you to express yourself, mkay? Now, if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then ok—but some people choose to wear more, and we encourage that, ok?” 🎥

Before and after photos of a wall-mounted shelf displaying a turntable, a collection of vinyl records, headphones, and a Now Playing sign. In the before photo, the wall is visible behind the shelf. In the after photo, black cardboard panels cover the back.

I added some DIY panels to the back of my turntable shelf. It looks much nicer. 🎵

A turntable setup with speakers and vinyl records is neatly arranged on a mounted shelf, featuring the Abbey Road album cover with the text NOW PLAYING underneath.

Added Abbey Road and Revolver by The Beatles to my collection. They sound great on the HiFi. 🎵

I tried using Omarchy as my daily driver. It was great on the laptop by itself, but once I added a docking station and external display, things got wonky. I’m sticking with the MacBook Pro and macOS for now.

I used Omarchy for a little bit today. It wasn’t my primary driver, but I did manage to get some work done with it. There’s definitely a learning curve. Some challenges I ran into were multiple display support, 1Password Quick Access, and using workspaces. #Omarchy #Linux

Switched to the Orion browser because I want Kagi search without the hack of a plugin for Safari.

“Yes, uh… Joanna, what motivated you to rise and go get the serving tray?” 🎥
