I searched for WordPress plugins for “quotes” thinking about quote-of-the-day. All the top returns were plugins for job-cost quotes. Commerce. Back in ‘00’s all the plugins would have been famous quote of the day sort of things. Thank you Web 2.0 for nothing.

I’ve been hunting for an online notes solution for a long time. @ChrisAldrich has me interested in digital #Zettelkasten solutions. The two easiest seem to be Hypothesis or dedicate a WordPress instance using tagging. I like the WP solution.

I still want at least 8 major English language web search engines with their own indexes. At least there are contenders forming now. Seirdy has the best rundown.

I got a haircut today. As I watched large chunks of my hair hit the apron thing I noticed most of it has gone beyond gray and onto old man white. Oh well, at least I still have some hair to cut. :)

Huge mega cities get super hero’s like Super Man and Bat Man. But what kind of resident super hero’s do small cities like South Bend, Indiana or Sioux Falls, South Dakota get?

Today: Submitted a URL to two small directories for inclusion. Maybe. One had a reCaptcha that did not confirm transmission so maybe not.

Yikes! Prices: Aldi brand steak sauce (like A-1) $1.09. Real A-1 brand $4.95 at Aldi. You can save a heck of a lot of money by going with the house brand.

Hey I just discovered that there is an official Micro Blog app for Android! I totally missed that. I must have been sleeping during class again. It’s nice and works well.
