Day off today. Sitting on the couch zoning out. Watching the wind blow to the cover we put on the veranda. Listening to the rain. Trying to decide between ramen or pasta. I think I am chilling out correctly?

Trying to get myself to write a blog post with my phone. Something about it doesn't feel like I am writing.

Writing on the phone to me feels more like I am texting myself even though typing is typing.

Capturing a screen recording video with command-shift-5 is awesome except for one thing. Stopping the video once you start recording isn't that intuitive. The controls are really hard to find.

When you want to stop recording, hit command-shift-5 again and the menu will appear again with the stop button.

As much as I want to have all the CSS properties memorized, that isn't a nice thing to do to my brain. Instead I visualize my CSS snippets as a garden that I weed and prune.

My CSS snippets garden used to be a folder of text files which was fine. The key to that way was naming the files so they were easy to scan. Lately I moved to an app called Snippety that's a little more fun to garden in. It's quicker to search, prune, and the name is perfect. It also supports a way to export snippets to a file which is something you should always check before you fill up an app with your notes, thoughts, and ideas.

I had a some credit for the Apple Store so I got an app called Waterllama to remind me to hydrate. Wasn't sure if I was really going to use it but after a week of using it I am glad I got it. Before I was sure I was drinking enough water all day. Getting pinged from the app at regular intervals made me realize I before I was probably drinking a bunch of water mostly in the morning and evening.

You get to set up what you normally drink and then it has a hydration percentage that gets added and subtracted from your daily score. Water is 100% hydration, coffee is 60%, and alcohol is -50%.

Nice to get "am I drinking enough water" out of my head and into an automated system.
