Indigo is quite a nice iOS app for a converged Bluesky and Mastodon experience. I post (POSSE) from my site typically, but replies are almost always done directly on the platforms. A bit of a gap to close, but I’ve never been able to think of a convenient way to do it.

Today’s a good day to get/install OS and browser updates on all your critical devices.
Consider turning off wifi on non-critical devices (putting to sleep is no longer enough because many devices still listen to or contact the internet while asleep) until you have had a chance to safely update their software (perhaps after software updates are available in response to pwn2own demos and disclosures).

I will forever adore SmallTalk for being so simple that using it requires you to effectively recreate reality and load it into memory every single time. I shall now teach you the language. “Object message.” Done! Now go teach integers to tell you if they’re even or not. 🤓
For his “Presentation of Learning” at school, my son is doing “The History of Programming Languages.” He asked me to come up with two languages that are the most different to illustrate dynamic/flexible vs. static/rigid. We went with SmallTalk and C++ for maximum chaos.
I acquired this at thrift for $21.95 on 2026-10-10 for Mother's Day in immaculate condition! It's as if someone used it to type up a few essays then put it in the case for 49 years. Other than some minor wear, this may be the singularly cleanest typewriter I've ever purchased. As my first typebar electric Olympia, I was so looking forward to taking it apart and giving it a full clean, oil, and adjust, but beyond wiping off some exterior dust, this machine really needs no work. I'm both disappointed and elated at the same time.

For dinner, I reverse-seared a whole beef tenderloin, served with a brandy peppercorn sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes, and some veg. Dessert was supposed to be my grandmother’s Hershey Cake, but I am a terrible baker and ended up having to improvise, but it was still tasty.
Whew, what a weekend. My daughter had four theater performances, my son had D&D club, my mother in law is visiting, and I cooked a huge meal for Mother’s Day. I’m zonked!
