Notes

Starting off strong. I spent about 2 hours at Guajome Park and saw 45 species! That does not include the domestic peacocks in the neighborhood. My favorite birds I saw were the Lawrence’s Goldfinches who were feeding on the side of the trail. They are beautiful birds I don’t get...

I’ve got a new page on my site! Just for fun! Hats!

My mind is currently stuck on if I should pre-order a Pebble Round 2 smart watch. I love a good smart watch but most I’ve tried haven’t lasted more than a year and a half so I’m hesitant to try again…

If all goes well this will be tagged on octothorp.es using a custom microformats2 harmonizer and my webmention sender. It’s pretty cool to see the progress the Octothorpe project has made and I love seeing more discovery channels for personal blogs.

I’m really enjoying MarketSpice’s Cinnamon-Orange tea (both hot and iced). But it is NOT forgiving if you forget it’s steeping. That cinnamon gets angry and bites. 😅☕️

Used my digital driver’s license for the first time today at the airport. There’s a long way to go before a physical ID isn’t needed though. Seems like a chicken and egg adoption problem so I don’t see much movement on that front.
