Seriously … ninja snips whilst the dog is napping is the only way to groom the ungroomable dog

Kaomoji: Japanese Emoticons

In the beginning of internet and instant messaging – lack of face-to-face talk resulted in mistakenly taking parodies and humorous jokes the wrong way. Kaomoji is a result of manga and anime fans who wanted to correct those mistakes, avoid awkward writing situations, and express words more creatively.

Kinda interesting how searching for an "ears ringing" kaomoji just dovetailed with the Wittgenstein book I am reading

My god, Apple, can we crush this GD bug where tapping a message alert while the alert sound is playing cranks the volume to 11 already?

~(>_<~)

With folks like me craving GIF behavior with quality imagery … and platforms avoiding the embrace of muted, looped video sans controls … would a new format meeting both criteria not be warranted?

I have noticed IndieWeb Webring traffic beginning to trickle (versus nonexistent).

Kind of a shame that there isn't an outlet for my political perspective. I was getting good at writing it. It felt like it could have made a difference. But the ADHD brain requires motivation…

Staged is f$&king brilliant, BTW.

Rodrigo y Gabriela … if you didn’t know … now ya know.

Cool thing about iOS Shortcuts, if Apple would get out their own way I could write the additional functionality I require out of a Micro.blog client into the freakin’ share sheet (which I actually did before abandoning Twitter, could pick one of my threads out of Safari, pick the tweets I wanted to include, take care of last second edits, and upload that MFer).

Go away Medium, you have been absolutely useless for this particular writer.

How … TF … are you still not getting that you f$&ked up sticking country in my mix, Apple Music?

So … yeah … about the Gluon app:

The suck)

• Uploads limited to photo library
• Zero shortcode support

The great)

• Damn near everything else

(Still may just roll my own when I run out of things to do so I have a one-stop shop)

So … yeah … not only can the coding capable get a Micro.blog hosted site setup practically however TF they please, with Textastic and Working Copy you can do it all on a ruby red iPhone 12 mini.

(throw Brushstroke and a pinch of creativity into the mix, it will even look cool AF).

The one I really oughta get around to writing up.

While looking through old photos I came across these assets for an application I did a while ago. I thought it might be fun to write a guide on how one might go about throwing a whole lot of work at something and never actually finish it.

This could be cool (although I am not holding my breath with regard to the process playing nice with my shortcodes).

Ok, fine, I was too quick to jump on Medium with regard to the UTM tags (but the profile still looks like sh$te compared to the Tumblr design).

GDit, unicode went and embraced emojis while I wasn’t looking. These little f$&kers are tiny as f$&k, god-awful eyesores, and the f$&king contrast creates legitimate legibility issues. Be f$&king better world consortiums.

Tumblr’s list of brokenness thus far is limited to whatever TF they are passing off as a font. The highlighted character is .

Seems like Medium doesn’t even want to respect the UTM parameters I stuck in my links. Tumblr is still mostly meeting my expectations as a cross-posting target.

Can’t decide how I oughta use Tumblr. Part of me wants to give it a go and the rest of me doesn’t want a repeat of my Twitter experience. If you are the one that read my essay yesterday, that felt good.

I mean … sure … the concept was a ginormous mistake … but having Photoshop on the iPad is pretty damn cool.

Be better Siri (having a webpage is kinda prerequisite, and listed as the shortcut's input (－‸ლ)
