“Every time you act to defend your fellow people, even in small ways, you defy Trumpism. In the age of Trumpism, simple decency is revolutionary. Be revolutionaries.” — Ken White

First “All I want for Christmas” in the wild this year. I really wish it was Christmas season, because the election would (probably) be over.

I cancelled my Washington Post subscription and set up a recurring donation to ProPublica for the same amount.

Here’s an opening for a senior product manager for the Swift programming language within the product marketing organization at Apple. This is an opportunity to have broad impact across all of Apple’s platforms. And you’d get to work with me some!

We‘re running another Developer Center event on creating great productivity and creativity apps for visionOS!

It‘s on Nov. 20 at the Developer Center in Cupertino and online.

For details, and to sign up to attend in person or on-line, head over to the Developer website.

Not sure I ever noticed this lovely clock in the Westlake Link Station.

Hello, Seattle

And now we wait…

Enjoyed the #SFPenShow! Met the man himself, @penaddict@mastodon.social, and Ana from The Well-Appointed Desk.

Nock Sinclair from Rickshaw Bags, Napa Red ink from The Pleasure of Writing, Flying Squid and Golden Gate Vermillion from Anderillium Inks, San Francisco Bay by Colorverse (the show-special ink), and a Platinum 3776 Century from Dromgoole’s.

Fall is coming…

L and I are celebrating our 32nd anniversary today. I’m looking forward to where life takes us together next. Adventure is out there!

I thought I was completely jaded by politics, then Pres. Biden put his country first and VP Harris stepped up. I am so ready for a joyful warrior and excited to follow her lead. Get in on the White Dudes for Harris call on Monday, 8pm ET/5pm PT! bit.ly/3YjW95G

I updated my site — curtclifton.net — to support dynamic type on iOS. Super easy. Thanks for the write-up @chockenberry@mastodon.social! furbo.org/2024/07/0…

I finally hacked together some basic dark mode support on my site. I’m not thrilled with the blues for links and code highlighting, but it’s a step forward. And now I have semantic colors in my css, so it’s easy to work on the palette.

I’m finally reading Good Omens. It’s right in the sweet spot for me: hilarious, absurd, and sacrilegious, with delightful turns of phrase on every page.

Looks like my afternoon of DNS hacking almost worked. Mastodon cross-posting from micro.blog might have been the only casualty.

Spent an enjoyable Saturday afternoon hacking on DNS, GitHub pages, and micro.blog settings. I think I finally have everything behind SSL certificates and updating correctly.

Either that or this post will fail and I’ll also have plans for an enjoyable Sunday afternoon.

It’s time to check out Mastodon, I hear. I’m @curtclifton@indieweb.social over there. (over here? cross-posting is so confusing)

Finally took my Exo print to be framed and found this behind it. Li is the best!

It’s a beautiful night for a ballgame. 093C5E3B-A9D6-43E7-A923-E76DA475A613.jpg

Ballpark number 7. Go Cubs!

Me, employee 7, and the original Mac pirate flag.

Stay safe out there.
