So what happens with all the empty office space?
I was ruminating about the same earlier this afternoon.

I’ve turned my Twitter profile bio into a perpetual1 attempt to roll a Yahtzee, that is rolling five dice of the same number. Like tweet-delete, this uses GitHub Actions.
[I]n this essay, I want to persuade you not just to wear a mask, but to go beyond the new CDC guidelines and help make mask wearing a social norm. That means always wearing a mask when you go out in public, and becoming a pest and nuisance to the people in your life until they do the same.
A few years ago I hacked together a bash script that you could use to backup and delete your tweets on a regular basis. For fun, I decided to do something similar using GitHub Actions.
tweet-delete doesn’t create backups, and deletes your tweets on a weekly basis. In addition, since the Twitter API only lets you get a maximum of 200 tweets per request, it won’t work if you have more than 200 tweets1. Many moons ago, I deleted all my tweets and started from scratch and since I don’t post more than 200 tweets in a week it works for me.
To use tweet-delete
, clone the tweet-delete repo and edit tweet-delete.sh
, replacing the twitter_user
variable with your own Twitter user name.
Next, create an app on the Twitter Developer portal and add the following secrets to the GitHub repo using the names:
twitter_consumer_api_key
twitter_consumer_api_secret_key
twitter_access_token
twitter_access_token_secret
After committing your changes, a git push
to the master
branch will kick off the workflow2 and it’ll run automagically every Sunday at 23:453.

I’ve been playing with GarageBand on iPadOS and I’m surprised at how buggy it is.
Our pilot run of six shows will cover everything Panic. (Which is a lot.)
This is a great podcast.
Apple needs to recognize they have made profound conceptual mistakes in the iPad user interface, mistakes that need to be scrapped and replaced, not polished and refined. I worry that iPadOS 13 suggests the opposite — that Apple is steering the iPad full speed ahead down a blind alley.
I’ve been using iPadOS since launch and found learning multitasking a clunky and dark art indeed.
But there’s also a great deal of freedom in realizing, as an individual, that whatever you’re doing on the internet is primarily valuable because you are doing it. Once it’s done, that value declines rapidly. Let it be regulated to memory…Where it can become less like a ledger and more like a dream.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
This was a super enjoyable game to play. A similar remake of A Link to the Past would be fantastic.

The simple joy of f***ing up in the kitchen
I had a notion the other day. This happens from time to time — I get something into my head, and I just have to see it through, whether it’s a good idea or not.
I had a notion about making soup dumplings.

I still want a dingus that only does email (with a QWERTY keyboard!)
