Echoes
When I was a kid, one of my favorite escapes from the small southern town I lived in was, “Echoes” on public radio. This show introduced me to so many artists and genres of music I probably would have otherwise never heard. The show has been going for 30+ years and still airs daily. Recently, I discovered that the show has a long running podcast that’s mostly the interviews from the radio show. It’s been a great addition to my podcast subscriptions.
Ventured out for the first time in a very long time.
A House Finch pair made a nest outside my office window and now they have babies they are caring for. Love watching them feeding and hearing the chirps every so often.
I really need to get out more while the flowers are still at peak.
Maybe I should consider Overcast again.
Use Chartable or Podsights to measure your traffic? Overcast will no longer appear in your data: Marco Arment, the developer, has decided to skip those redirects entirely, after they have, he claims, become increasingly affected by ad-blocking DNS servers. “Most download links that would otherwise redirect through these widely-blocked domains will now try to skip that hop and go to whatever’s after them”, he says on Overcast’s Slack channel. “I keep getting emails and tweets from people whose downloads are being blocked at the network level by these DNS blocklists, and they’ve gotten frequent enough that I need to do something.” Podtrac is currently unaffected by this action, though.
Seems like micro.blog is still having some trouble today? Is there an official status page anywhere?
It’s been a long time since an app has “surprised and delighted” as much as the 5.0 release of CARROT Weather. So good.

The Mandalorian S02E05 is excellent! Honestly, that single episode is better than most of the sequel trilogy.

Planned to cut the grass today. Probably one of the last cuts of the year. But… lots of wind that’s blowing most of the remaining leaves off the trees. Good excuse to put the cut off another day, when the mowing will pickup more leaves.
A nice “Day in the Life” bonus, seeing how many folks are on the fedverse(or at least cross-post) .
