So is your Micro.blog anniversary 1 year from when you joined or 1 year from your first post? Because I signed up 1 year ago today. Since then I’ve been primarily posting to my own blog and letting a bot cross-post to Twitter.

1k swim

Tonight I swam 1 km for the first time. My Watch presented me with this award. We joined a pool in mid-November and have been trying to swim at least 3x a week. (The best part is the heated swim-out pool with jets and bubbles for after. Especially when it’s snowing.)

I’m too big for my Glif

I finally found a phone too big for my Glif: iPhone Max in the smart battery case. 🤣

Android Base

Android Base, 1996. I love the big blue quarter domes. Typical space base set with a building, ground vehicle, small spaceship, and a few astronauts. The domes swing open to allow the truck to enter.

Sophie the tapir

Sophie the tapir would come out of the forest at dawn to get fruit or cookies.
