There are many things I should be doing right now. There are even things I want to be doing, but I don't feel like doing any of them. I can't seem to shake this lethargy.

Today strikes me as a Tangible Things kind of day. I may need to shut down the computer for a while.
I'm late to Nick Offerman, but the more I learn about him, the more I like him.
We have been tricked into thinking that purchasing things is a creative act.

I have a darkroom because I like to make things with my hands and I'm shit at woodworking.
If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live.

My daughter just sent me this text out of the blue and it made me tear up just a little.
I've never loved the way Org-mode handles archiving subtrees to *_archive files. I should've known there was a simple way to improve it. For me, that's (setq org-archive-location "~/org/archive.org::datetree/")
. Now they all go into a tidy datetree in one file.
