I’ve made Kool-Aid pickles so I was thrilled to see it on the menu at Fixins Soul Kitchen. They were pretty tasty. Mine were better, though. 🙂

This morning’s uneasy listening.

I’ve built a vault using the iOS Obsidian app but it’s not syncing with the stuff I added from my laptop.
I’ve shed my COVID-19 (lbs). My next goal is lose another 6lbs to get back to last summer’s fighting weight.
I’m old fashioned. Iuse bookmarks. I don’t understand how people don’t use bookmarks. I used to use delicious but Yahoo botched it like they did so many services. I’ve been using Pinboard for years and the Pins app has made its way on to my home screen.
App.net showed great promise but failed to deliver. Most of the community migrated to PiNut when App.net closed down, but I drifted away and found a new home on Micro.blog.
Few weeks ago, I deleted the Tumblr app from my phone. Glad the service exists, but found the functionality frustrating. Micro.blog is a more effortless and streamlined experience. The minimal subscription fee usually means better content. Tumblr could learn from Micro.blog.
Speaking of RSS apps, I haven’t tried them all, but I’ve tried the more popular ones. Reeder and NetNewsWire are great, but I still prefer Feedly. I like the UI, and I like the functionality of the app and the browser version.
Apple News is a beautiful app. But I’m annoyed at how many articles I have to scroll last because they require an News+ subscription. I also don’t like that I can’t add RSS feeds from sources I want to follow. I’ve been using Feedly for years and it’s a far better experience.
My boy made jajangmyun for our 4th of July dinner. I tucked into my bowl like a ravenous Timberwolf.
Okay, it’s not just the staff at the Blood Bank. Even my fellow donors think I’m a riot. Put me in front of a brick wall with a mic and donating blood at the same time, and I think Chris Rock would be afraid to follow after me.
Heading out to give blood. Just realized I’ve been drinking a lot of water. Hope I don’t have to pee while I’m attached to a bag.
Curious how folks are using the Workspaces function in the Drafts app. I’m looking g for inspiration.
Pins app.
Pros: speedy, easily searchable, unlike other apps that access Pinboard.
Cons: you can only share to Pins app in iOS once every 5 minutes, frustrating when I’m doing research. I end up using my mail app, an added step with less functionality, such as adding tags.
I installed Obsidian tonight and messed around with it for 30 minutes. So far, I can’t think of a compelling reason why I’d use it over Evernote. Am I missing something?
