“Look, we want you to express yourself, mkay? Now, if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then ok—but some people choose to wear more, and we encourage that, ok?” 🎥

I added some DIY panels to the back of my turntable shelf. It looks much nicer. 🎵

Before and after photos of a wall-mounted shelf displaying a turntable, a collection of vinyl records, headphones, and a Now Playing sign. In the before photo, the wall is visible behind the shelf. In the after photo, black cardboard panels cover the back.

Added Abbey Road and Revolver by The Beatles to my collection. They sound great on the HiFi. 🎵

A turntable setup with speakers and vinyl records is neatly arranged on a mounted shelf, featuring the Abbey Road album cover with the text NOW PLAYING underneath.

I tried using Omarchy as my daily driver. It was great on the laptop by itself, but once I added a docking station and external display, things got wonky. I’m sticking with the MacBook Pro and macOS for now.

I used Omarchy for a little bit today. It wasn’t my primary driver, but I did manage to get some work done with it. There’s definitely a learning curve. Some challenges I ran into were multiple display support, 1Password Quick Access, and using workspaces. #Omarchy #Linux

I just learned about Omarchy, and it looks really cool. I’m going to challenge myself to use it for the entire week. I know it’s going to be frustrating, but can I fight through it and survive the week? #Omarchy #Linux

Jonathan Buys has a nice write up about why he’s still using macOS.

One only needs to feel the difference between any PC and a MacBook. Pick one up, set it down and open the lid, close it again. Pick it back up. The Mac feels sturdy, well built. Test the trackpad, the keyboard, feel the snap of the MagSafe power cord as it magnetically connects and lights up. The Mac hardware is once again that good.

You can open the lid of a MacBook with one finger, and the base remains stable while only the lid opens. Every other laptop brand I attempt to open with one finger fails at this.

Switched to the Orion browser because I want Kagi search without the hack of a plugin for Safari.

Upgraded the pedals on my e-drum kit. Yamaha HH65 Electronic Hi-Hat Controller and Yamaha DFP-9C FP 9 Series Chain Drive Double Bass Drum Pedal.

Yamaha drum pedals and a Roland V-Drum kick pad drum are positioned on a carpeted floor in front of a wall with brick wallpaper design.

“I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know? As a career, I don’t want to do that.” 🎥

I was going to let my subscription to Mimestream expire, but I decided to keep it and switched to the annual plan. That’ll save me $10.55/year. I just like the speed and feel of the native app better than a Safari or Chrome saved web app.

“David, is this because of what you did with my grade?” 🎥
