I finished the “Design your system for creativity” webinar by Oliver Burkeman. I took my notes in Obsidian Canvas, resulting in a visual mind map.
I will try Canvas to map out the technical requirements of apps I design for my clients. Especially useful that each node can be a full page of notes.

I’m about 90% complete with my “website” transition to Blot for hosting. The ONLY reason I’m moving my main blog from Micro.blog is because of the workflow I have set up with Obsidian and Git.
Micro.blog is still where I post status updates and will continue to be the “hub” from a social standpoint.

Bing surprised me today when I searched for how to add a custom RSS feed to my blot.im template. I started to click on the links to search for the answer but then realized the AI gave me the exact answer directly. And it was accurate!

I’ve been quiet the past couple of weeks. I’m working on a few things, including some website updates. I moved my Micro.blog site to blog.ericgregorich.com and moved my main site to Blot.im.
The only reason for this move is because Blot fits my workflow better. I can take all my markdown notes in Obsidian and easily publish them to my website using Git. I have local markdown files for everything, which is my goal.

I’m thinking about trying iA Writer because it is so nice. But the price is making me hesitate. It’s better than a subscription, I suppose.

Exploring Microsoft Edge: A Week-Long Experiment
This week, I put myself through another experiment and used the Microsoft Edge browser exclusively for work and personal. I’ve used Microsoft Edge for work for various reasons and never really had any issues with it. For personal, I was using Safari, but I’ve also experimented with Brave, Firefox, and even Arc. With all the recent announcements around the new Bing and other features coming to Microsoft Edge, I thought I would try to use the browser for work and personal for at least a week.

I’ve used Raycast on my Mac for various things, including Windows Management. I find that just typing where I want the window to move to is pretty fast. No keyboard shortcuts are needed, although I still have them configured. I’ve tried Stage Manager, but it was a disaster!

I updated my Now page with podcasts and newsletters that I’m actively consuming.
