Dishwasher crapped out. Parts on order. As of today the earliest appointment is about a month out. I know people hand wash dishes but not looking forward to this!

Product managers - when your customers tell you this you know you’ve found product-market fit. 👇
Wow - entire Twitch codebase + earnings leaked. Shocking that Amazon didn’t bring dev ops and security under their umbrella.
I’m trying to figure out how to link a heading in Obsidian to Omnifocus. I want to be able to click a link and go to file and line in a file.
Anyone have any good suggestions for managing merge conflicts in an #xcode project file? #swift #ios #development
I realize I’m procrastinating when I catch myself “optimizing” Omnifocus.
🍳 in a wok directly on my grill. I still don’t think it was quite hot enough.
I might have to try this on a turkey fryer burner.
TIL That if you keep your Photos for Mac library on an external drive that was formatted for Time Machine you’ll have issues with your library.
Thanks Apple Support for helping me out.
So according to Sen. Ted Cruz the Texas school shooting is because of a border crisis.
The suspect in custody is someone named “Timothy George Simpkins.”
Not really seeing the connection here. 🙄
Beginning to play around with @omni focus automations. Cool that I can create projects from template files.

I’ve been tracking the apps discussed in the Mac Automators podcast because I’m a Mac nerd. I’ve published it below.
Another day, another school shooting. So tired of this.
Here’s a good resource you can use to take action. I know it seems hopeless but every little bit helps.
I love to prepare recipes that I discover on the internet. There are some really great food bloggers that have made me a better cook. Unfortunately, the user experience of most food blogs is pretty terrible. They need to write long form content in order to attract search traffic. However, that long form content often buries the ingredients and instructions deep within the post.
It’s interesting to read deeper into the origins of the recipe and it helps me decide whether or not I actually want to try it. When it comes time to preparing a meal, I just want to see the recipe, in a form that is easy to read on a device that doesn’t turn off every couple of minutes.
That’s why my company built ClipDish. It’s a recipe app that saves just the recipe from food websites.
If you have an iOS device, go check out ClipDish in the App Store.
First day back to intermittent fasting I’m at 12 hours and the crankiness and hunger is hitting me. Luckily I’ve done this before and it passes it after the first couple of weeks.
Decided to stay home and watch TV by the fire with Trish tonight. Happy NewYear.?
Grocery stores with more self checkout lines than cashier’s don’t value their customer’s time.
I enjoyed the Mandalorian alot more than the Rise of Skywalker. 📺🎥 Prove me wrong.
The website you're reading is about 10 years old, maybe older. Going through some of these older posts is a lot like cleaning out your attic. You come across a lot of dusty things, many of which you can't ever recall buying.
I'm keeping this site around but cleaning out some older posts. I've written a few piece on product development which I'll keep here for posterity. However, if you want to see my current writing on product management then visit my other site.
Being busy is a form of laziness— lazy thinking and indiscriminate action. Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions.💬

Distractions are a bitch. I’m writing this as the last step in a hole that I found myself in. It went something like this.
This all happened over the span of 12 minutes.
I’ve been meditating a lot lately using Headspace. The one thing that Andy continues to say is if you feel distracted, make note of it and bring yourself back to the breath.
So, noted, breathing, back to work…
Cast Iron Skillet Pan-Seared Filet Mignon inspired from Ina Garten’s Steakhouse Steaks recipe2 (1o ounce) filet mignon
Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot (5-7 minutes).
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel, and brush them lightly with oil. Combine the salt and pepper on a plate and roll the steaks in the mixture, pressing lightly to coat both sides.When the skillet is ready, add the steaks and sear them evenly on all sides, for 2 minutes per side.
Will take total of 10 minutes.
Top each steak with 1T butter, and place skillet in the oven. For medium rare (125 degrees) cook for 7-10 minutes, testing with meat thermometer. Once you’ve achieved desired doneness, transfer the steaks to platter and cover tightly in aluminum foil.
Allow steaks to rest for 5-10 minutes. This really makes all the difference in the world!

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is my favorite Christmas movie. There are so many things to love about it. Here’s a post in Rolling Stone that talks about some behind the scenes stuff that went on. Xmas or Bust: The Untold Story of ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’
