Quick Thoughts
I use Apple Pay with my watch all the time. And cashiers are always surprised that I can do that and claim they’ve never seen someone pay with their watch. Apple Pay on the watch is the easiest way to use Apple Pay. Why don’t more people use it?
Working on editing a journal article that I got a revise and resubmit on. This is my first time through the academic publishing process, and I have to admit that it’s a challenging process. I’ve lived with this research for years and I’ve rewritten some version of this paper so many times… It started life as a class assignment, then a conference presentation. I completely started from scratch and redid the study to be a MA thesis project. And now, I’m submitting it as a journal article. I love the study and I know I’ll get it published eventually, but the process is long, y’all.
Hey @manton. I was able to upload the archive that I got from Twitter and it started a new blog and installed the plugin, but it’s been over 24 hours and I don’t see any tweets. How can I tell if it’s still in process, or if it’s stalled? Thanks for your help (and this amazing feature.)
Made it to the ocean today with a day trip to Isle of Palms in South Carolina. Beautiful weather to walk along the beach and gather shells.
Diving into Micro.Blog custom themes. It’s a little out of my comfort zone — I usually stick with messing with the CSS — but I’ve got something specific in mind and I think creating a custom template is my best bet.
Liz and I took a walk around the trails behind our house after hosting Easter dinner. After a few days of constant rain, it was nice to see the sun.
Happy Easter from Team Wertz.
Brought back two pimento cheese sandwiches from the Masters for my daughter. She’s impressed. They were $1.50 each.
Tomorrow, I’ll be at Augusta National, but I can’t share pictures because no cameras — or phones — are allowed at the course.
Our kitchen is small, but it has hosted a surprisingly large number of spontaneous family dance parties over the years.
Gruber linked to this article about GM phasing out CarPlay on future EVs. My next car purchase will be an electric car, and I won’t consider a car that doesn’t have CarPlay. We currently own two Buicks, but I guess I won’t be considering a GM vehicle when it’s time to replace these.
We added another mile of trails to our walk today. Some parts of the old-golf-course-turned-park have been reclaimed by shrubs and trees. Other sections look like you could play a round. Lots of wildlife and wildflowers. And oddly, 24 Apache attack helicopters.
My daughter is interested in shooting with film. I’ve got some old 35mm cameras, but haven’t shot film in over a decade. Anyone know about the best options for buying and developing film? A Google search reveals some online services, but I don’t know anything about them.
The Women’s Final Four is tonight and while both games should be great, you need to catch the South Carolina - Iowa matchup. South Carolina’s suffocating defense versus a hot-shooting Iowa team. Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark on the same court. ESPN at 9:00 ET. Go Gamecocks. 🏀
Photoblogging challenge complete. 31 days of photos in March was actually more challenging than I thought I would be. Really glad I completed it, although I may now need to take a few days off from sharing images. 🤣

🏀 Excited that my South Carolina Gamecocks are heading to the NCAA Women’s Final Four. Two more wins to another championship.
📷 March Photo Challenge #27. Support. Tonight was Norah’s Senior Night. Lots of people have supported her during her lacrosse career, especially during this season which ended early with an ACL tear. Chapin, SC.
Watching Louisville/Iowa women’s basketball game and both these teams can score. Fun to watch.
📷 March Photo Challenge #26. Instrument. My wife’s ukulele. Columbia, SC.
I wrote up my quick first thoughts about Adobe Firefly, but my 11-year old has also started playing with it. Here’s his bronze steam-powered robot walking in a cityscape.
📷 March Photo Challenge #25. Spice. Random assortment of seasonings. Columbia, SC.
