I finally did it. I took the first step on my way to completely switching to Linux for my daily driver. I found a computer I can use, and now I need to get rid of any devices I can “fall back” on when something doesn’t work. I’m all in (once I get it set up).
Yesterday, my son and I built a new bicycle from scratch. The intention was to make something simple, inexpensive, and robust for Minnesota winters. It’s a single gear city bike, made from used parts. It’s also light and fast and rides like a dream. And yes, that’s a purple chain!
We spent the afternoon at a Frost game today, and really enjoyed it! They are a Professional Women’s Hockey League team. Our first game was their first home game last season, and this time we brought the entire family (and had jerseys!). For those who enjoy hockey, I highly recommend watching a PWHL game. Much more fun than the NHL and the fans are great!
I have spent most of my free time in the last three weeks transitioning to Org Mode for my task management. With all the beautiful task management apps out there today, you might wonder why I chose a text-based task manager with a steep learning curve. The answer is that I did it because it’s fun. I love using text on my computer, and I enjoy customizing eMacs to look and feel the way I want it to for this work. And now, I enjoy working with my tasks instead of dreading having to mark them off or list new things to do!

After quite a while without a Micro.blog subscription, I’m back. I have been quietly observing, but found it frustrating not to be able to respond to others’ posts. There are so many times I wanted to tell people I loved what they wrote, but was unable to reply. So I finally decided to subscribe again.
I saw this view of the city last night through one of our shades. I thought it looked interesting.
Congratulations to Nemo for winning Eurovision 2024! We enjoyed the performances yesterday, and truly feel that Eurovision has united us by music. I was cheering for both Switzerland and Croatia, and both songs will be in my playlists this year.
Watching Eurovision is one of my favorite yearly activities. I cannot wait for the finals on Saturday.
We enjoyed watching Eurovision yesterday. I particularly liked Croatia and Sweden. But I find it odd the singers from Sweden were from Norway. And whoever is writing the jokes for the hosts is doing a great job!
Nothing makes you appreciate normal life more than getting a cold and not being able to breathe. I will never take being able to finish my entire sentences again for granted, especially since I need to take a breath halfway through now. And sitting in silence without coughing is golden!
