Zed configurations!
- Well, now picking Zed from the top of the list when opening an editor. Most stuff is a still bit easier in VS Code still, some is better done in terminal through vim/nvim/helix. Unsurprisingly, Zed has been great for working on Rust code so far.
Fixed a bug with the the site's color choices, so highlights should now actually work for everyone as expected, as well as some other oddities about the site's css.

Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards
- We has been at the top of my On Repeat for a few weeks recently, and their new singles Oh, Songbird and Fake Me Out are both rocketing upwards on that list as well.
- Their music made up 25% of my top 100 songs from 2020, and they have maintained control of a portion of that list every year since, so can not recommend them enough.
Caravan Palace
- Has been the other coding background music of choice, and is popular but still worth recommending for some electro swing fun.
- Leena from their Chronologic album is a gem (based on the spotify plays), as is April, but the whole album is worth a listen.
Apple Vision Pro coverage. Seems neat. Looking forward to a consumer version in the future and noting down any good app ideas for future side projects.

Linear.app is pretty nice, but will need to continue testing before it fully replaces my (imperfect) Post-it note system.
- Getting hooked on the keyboard shortcuts seems like a slippery slope to being stuck with the good and bad of this tool, there's no other with such easy to learn shortcuts. (If you know of one please reach out!)
- May be possible to do all of this in Obsidian, but having dedicated tools for dedicated tasks is occasionally helpful.
