I was very close to scrapping my Microconf trip with the family today. Just felt too much with a baby with a fever and running on 2 hours sleep. Grateful for @bykelseygk.com pushing us to still go. Because we can do hard things.

I just can't get enough of how amazingly kind and supportive everyone involved in Artemis II is.

Chrome: I have never once wanted to have split screens. I just want to move/reorder the tab. Please stop trying to make split screens happen.

I’m not a huge gamer. But the original NES gold cartridge Zelda was the one game I grinded on hard until I beat it as a kid. Played a few others, but over the last two weeks I’ve finally started to play Breathe of the Wild with my wife and 4.5yo. When this series hits, it fucking hits.

I've always struggled with time tracking. I forget to start/stop timers, I'm bouncing between so many projects that it's impossible to properly do without breaking flow. So I created an automatic tracker based on which desktop I'm in using Hammerspoon. It's still earlier but I'm very excited.

As one of the early members of @justinjackson.ca's Marketing for Developers (marketingfordevelopers.com) community, I've already received a ton of amazing feedback from him. Can't believe more people aren't jumping on this. Such an insane value.

I’m a big believer that you vote with your dollars and you do your best to support the people and projects that you want to see more of in the world. I bought the initial version and buying the membership for the update was a no brainer for my business(es). One new sale and it pays for itself.

Out of curiosity… Are people still doing /now pages? If you are, how often do you update yours? And is there a historical record for older versions? Way to track (rss)?

Ooh! January 1. Better get going on your Augusta Rule setup! AugustaPlanner.com

Heads up: @runforsomething.net is hiring a new Senior Technical Lead. Full JD & salary here, including how to apply! workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/defau...

I absolutely love being on our onboarding calls with our early adopters for AugustaPlanner.com. Feel like we all learn so much!

Did you know you can still take advantage of the August Rule even if you already take a home office deduction? You just need to adjust your property’s market rate to exclude the deducted home office (most likely ~10%). Is one better than the other? Nope. Why not both?

Just a friendly reminder... If you have a profitable US-based S-Corp, C-Corp, or partnership business and own your home, it's not too late to take advantage of the Augusta Rule for 2025 and save some money. You've got to do your year-end planning regardless. AugustaPlanner.com

Aaron's videos are top-tier. If you're a programmer looking to improve your understanding of how databases work, I highly recommend @aaronfrancis.com and Database School! databaseschool.com (it's on sale on right now too 👍)

In hind sight... I probably shouldn't have started building a new company the same week we introduced a new baby into the world. But I can't help it. I think this needs to exist in the world. Also... kids are expensive.

First time back at my happy place since we were too pregnant to travel (June or so). The 4yo really wanted some hot chocolate after we did some chores around the yard.

Logged my 307th show on concerts.zackgilbert.com tonight: Of Monsters and Men at The Salt Shed. Our 8th time seeing them. They were our first date.

Rails friends: I’m looking for a document signing api that I can easily integrate with. What do people recommend?

This is the first time in forever that I've actually been annoyed by having multiple other projects that I need to work on and really wish I only had the one. Feels like it might be something.

First Google Nest, now Belkin Wemo being decommissioned. Love needing to completely swap out half of my house’s switches and plugs by the end of the year. What brand is the safest to switch to?

The good: I'm finally doing some marketing! The bad: it's not for the product, I _should_ be doing it for!

Started sharing with a small group of people (<10). Encouraging response, but no actual signups yet. So largely just marketing site/concept feedback to help improve it. If I had to take a guess, biggest hurdle is trust. Trust in the concept (why should I do this?) and trust in us (why you?).

Working on a new project that I’m really excited about. So close to starting to onboard the first couple of people. Going to save a lot of people a lot of money.

Little guy is finally big enough to be in the carrier. Giving momma some rest while this little guy sleeps and I tackle some outstanding work needs.

A while back I feel like I saw a site creator that used a proven to convert landing page structure. I can’t for the life of me remember either of them.

Absolutely incredible work here from @hankgreen.bsky.social:

- turbo-visit-control "reload" - forms within forms - unnecessary event listeners - chained selects - LLM spinning its wheels Join us today, Wednesday and Friday. Still some tickets left 👇

With all the shenanigans with social media and the dead internet and whatnot, I’m wondering if there’s a way for us to get back to something less dopamine drenched, while still keeping the social and connected parts. I’m thinking personal websites meets aim away messages meets rss meets ???

So nice of the hospital to include a surprise bonus gift (just for me) of strep with the new baby.

These are the days.

I know I’m biased… but damn this kid is cute.

Wouldn’t be a GK birth without a little F1 while we wait:

Welp. Just in under the wire for all the outstanding tasks. Fingers crossed that I can enjoy some family time and welcome this new baby into the world without worrying too much about work for a couple of days.

Narrator: there were more tasks.

“raising kids that feel just as comfortable in the woods as they do in the city” - @dens.nyc Love this so much. Stealing it and making it more of a priority.

Finally broke down and ordered a pair of AirPods. Tried my wife's yesterday and it was way nicer than I thought.

Have one more must complete task to finish before baby is scheduled to come. I think I can do it. Been slowly chipping away at it (and the other tasks) throughout the last few weeks. Ish is getting real!

Hey dads! What’s something you wish you packed in your overnight hospital bag when you went in for new baby? Doesn’t necessarily have to be something for yourself either.

Just canceled a client's subscription that had been running for 13 years. I had been hosting a mini-site for them despite having moved their main site over to Shopify years ago. Once I discovered they no longer needed the site, I wound down the server, and it no longer made sense to charge them.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Ended up just doing a notion doc and redirecting to it from a subdomain I setup. Biggest complaint is that it doesn’t auto update for anyone on the page (they need to refresh to see changes), but I’m already in Notion everyday so easy for me to manage.

You have (maybe) one week before your new baby arrives… What do you prioritize in that window?

Got some interesting suggestions to this that I'm planning to check out more thoroughly soon. In an ideal world, I could use Apple Notes (but can't share with Android people) or Google Docs (can't share a link and have it remain private/unindexed). Might try Notion?

Hey solo founders/project owners: do you have a contingency plan for your project(s)? Curious what people are doing (if anything). If you get hit by a bus, what happens? Is it just dead? Does your spouse even know?

Friends, I’m looking for a good live blogging tool that’s easy to share. Want to easily and quickly keep friends and family informed about an upcoming event w/ play-by-play. Ability to add photos/media is bonus. Any suggestions?

Really wish I could go to this this weekend. Alas, family obligations prevent me from doing so. But you! You should go!

Want to come to XO Ruby for free? We're looking for some folks to help us set-up and tear-down (~2 hrs). No previous experience or knowledge required. In exchange you'll get access to the conference for free. Opportunities available beginning this Saturday in Chicago. www.xoruby.com/volunteer/
