Setting up a Mac (with command line tools)
It’s probably my 10th or 20th time setting up a computer and each time I start this process, I think to myself that I should be writing it all down so next time it’s easier for me and maybe it will get other some ideas on possible things they should check out. I’ll start with […]

After years, I bought a personal MacBook
The last time I bought a macbook was in 2010. It was a 13″ Macbook Pro at the base specs. It was great, lasted me a couple of years and then I passed it on to a friend. Last month, I decided to order a new macbook, the ones with M1 chips. I got a […]

I moved to Portland 🌲
Last week, I left Oakland, California and moved to Portland, Oregon. It’s a huge move for me and Kristen along with the pets but we wanted to try a new city while we can. Working remotely enables to move. I don’t have many impressions to share yet except it’s cold as it’s the middle of […]

Connecting a relationship using a hook in Keystone.js 6
I’m writing this for the weary internet traveler because I spent 3 hours debugging this and finally had some coffee ☕️ and figured it out after running into a ton of errors. This is my desired outcome: every time a user signs up for my app, I want to associate the “Reader” role with that […]

“Carnival Jump” by Sandy Bull
I’ve been listening to Sandy Bull since I first discovered his music through a now defunct music service called Songza. It’s a tragedy that Google shut down Songza because their expertly curated playlists were top notch. The playlist I found Sandy Bull and similar artists was part of a genre called American Primitivism or “America […]

A better shortcut for emojis on macOS
I just saw the new MX Keys Mini, it’s a $100 non-mechanical keyboard but one of its primary marketing touts is that it comes with an emoji key: I love to use custom keyboard shortcuts for basically everything and of my least favorite shortcuts is the ⌘ + ⇧ + Space to bring up the […]
