hmmmm link between dandelion-utilitarian dot come and dot net seems to have broken. Can’t actually remember how that works. i think friend Wing did something to fix it but honestly, don’t recall. Though, I’m getting on so well with micro blog, I may just switch the whole site over to it.
Microblog
I think I’m warming to StageManager on MacOS, I’m going to give it another spin in iPadOS, see if I can embrace that life. 😄
I think I'm back 😁

I Had an excellent evening of writing. It’s been about a week since I have managed to gather the focus required but I am starting to feel more like myself and generally returning to my usual Zen-like state. I will likely feel more equipped to return to usual activities in a few days. Also, drafted a blog about health, moods, and personal goals. I’ll proofread it tomorrow and post it. If I think its worthwhile once I go through it again
Dog Nappies, now with a pocket for smokes! #art (?)
Apparently I have done 1000 chess puzzles… you would think I would be better at them by now. www.chess.com/awards/da…
Just watched “The Gorge”. Really liked it. Best Diablo movie ever. It knew what it was and embraced it. Only have nice things to say.

Even Batman needs lunch
Feel like it maybe time to change some things.
made a video… oddly youtu.be/Vn3KXGy3p…
The Valsalva manoeuvre is far less exotic than the Picard manoeuvre, but likely more applicable to situations which most people encounter.
People need to stop saying ‘game changer’ its got to the point of meaningless
The rise of ai tools is going to seriously effect profit’s for services like grammar and language tool soon. As of yet though, there is no good language tool alternative for my phone. It’s going to be interesting to see how it unfolds, because, LLMs are far more effective spell checkers than anything else I have used. I just wish we didn’t have all the other baggage that went with them.
NewsExplorer seems pretty good so far. RSS win. I guess.
Today have learned that my RSS reader (Reeder+) doesn’t have an export. Oddly this made me want to leave, so i installed NewsExplorer. Seems pretty good so far.
Few days into DAP life now. I love having a music player which doesn’t expect more from me than to hit the play button.
Do you ever make a purchase and then think “that was dumb, I should not have done that” ?
My wisdom tooth is uncomfortable this morning.
Imagine a world where Things got worn out when you looked at them. Like erosion of viewing. I think it happens in some ways, on a personal level, the more I look at a thing the less I appreciate it. Maybe it’s me being depleted, not the things I look at.
Why doesn’t apple mail have a share sheet? It’s infuriating
It’s foggy today. I assume this is because 2025 has started loading.

My desk now contains a MacBook air, two iPads (don’t ask,) a bluetooth speaker and a usb chargeable reading lamp. There is something awesome about an all battery-powered desk. I don’t know why, but it gives me great joy.

Merry Christmas.
I have decided that now my headaches are ‘under control’ I no longer need to think of dark mode as an accessibility issue. So, I’m going to try ‘light by default’ for a few weeks
I’m considering replacing GoodLinks with DEVONthink. Since I already use DT, my initial reason for using GoodLinks to save articles was to avoid cluttering my notes. Now that I understand DT better, I realise I can separate the databases and adopt a more holistic approach to managing my PKMS
I think I have become someone who enjoys classical music. You know, like meatloaf and rush.
I’ve thought about it and Hot Frosty was the movie I have enjoyed the most this Christmas season.
I used the word ‘blithesome’ in a sentence today. Felt like a rockstar!
The current, sad state of my broken toaster has never been more relevant and disappointing than, right now.
If people were to ask, I would say that I didn’t use social media, despite all the things I post to dandelion-utilitarian.com ending up on micro.blog, bluesky and the wider fedi. I think, that I dont parse it as social media because from my point of view it’s just me pushing things to my website. Maybe I shouldn’t cross post to other places
I’m editing my ‘current writing project‘. I don’t know if it’s because it’s winter, or because I have country music on, but I can’t get ‘into’ it right now. I have this cozy vibe which makes me want to read a book, not write one.
