I can’t predict which post will matter, or to whom.
I just keep leaving little lanterns along the path.
Some of them will light the way for strangers.
Some of them will light the way home for my family.
And that’s enough.
Actually, I think it’s more than enough.
Maybe we’re all leaving lanterns behind in ways we don’t even realize.

WhatCable explains cable speed, charging limits, e-marker data, and connected devices in plain English. Name a cable and it tracks how the cable actually performs over time, so you can spot the one that has started misbehaving. No more guessing why a cable charges slow or refuses to drive your display.
Did you know that not every USB-C cable is the same?
If you answered "yes" to that question, then my friend, do I have the application for you!

After I mentioned a Jurassic Park anecdote the other day, I watched the movie again. I must have seen it at least ten times now. This time, I researched every computer/software I spotted.
This sort of overview is catnip for dorks like me. I appreciated the continuity error call out as well; my daughter has started pointing out these things in movies and I am equal parts proud and horrified.

Saw this on Noisy Deadlines, had to give it a go.
Introduce yourself with five albums that have shaped you:
I spent several days on vacation thinking about this, but ultimately I scrolled through my janky, vibe-coded music library page and went with my first instinct like Ariadne.
If you end up doing something like this on your own blog, please let me know!

For years now, I’ve documented the “glimmers” that brighten each month—the small moments that make me pause and feel safe, calm, or hopeful.
Glimmers, as coined by psychotherapist Deb Dana, are the opposite of triggers. Triggers, which are unique to each person, tend to pull us into fear or distress. Glimmers, also unique to each of us, bring us comfort and steadiness.
Documenting glimmers isn’t simply a saccharine exercise or reliable newsletter content. It’s a way to counter the more challenging moments of life. For me, glimmers are padding for a harsh world. By collecting them, I create some protection against the sharp edges that can snag and snarl a day.
I never considered that there could be an antonym for a "trigger".
