There’s rarely enough seating on this bus for a sketch / knit commute.

Solution might be to take a non-express route, or arrive early enough that I can craft before work.

“Foxes in Flowerpots” is my favorite Belle & Sebastian album.

That’s a nice improvement. Photo rather than screenshot since the phone is better than the laptop at staying connected out here.

Remembered that my phone has a miroSD slot for secondary storage, so solved my Linux/Android music transfer woes by ordering a 256 GB choking hazard.

If only phones had a feature that could automatically tell you that you misspelled a word and offer suggested corrections.

Instead of making everything about ducks.

Lots of cognitive overhead in commuting. I look forward to getting used to it, and having less frantic “what’d I forget — no time to remember” anxiety.

@tek I do!

@thenomad the transition for me is remote -> office. Commute’s gone from 30 seconds (more if I put on pants) to 30-45 minutes on bus (pants no longer optional).

Note to self: be careful about Cloudfront invalidations for sitewide changes, at least if you’re on the “super cheap hosting” angle.
