I've decided to cancel my #Kagi subscription. It's a good service, but I think $10/month is a little steep for search, especially when DuckDuckGo is free, privacy respecting, and 95% as good in my testing.

I also cancelled my YT Premium subscription because that shits like crack.

Going down a website rabbit hole is just the best. It starts with a blog post that links to another post, I check their site - they have lots of great content.

Oooh there’s a blogroll…

An hour later I’ve added 5 more sites to my RSS reader and I now have hundreds of new posts to read.

I β™₯️ the internet sometimes.

Around a year ago, I sold a project bike I'd just completed to my younger brother. It was a 22 year old Triumph Speed Four that I had fully restored (pic of the bike after the final "shake down" ride after finishing the project).

Last week, my brother took it to a Triumph specialist for its annual service and the mechanic commented on how it was one of the best condition Speed Fours he had ever seen. High praise indeed for my mechanical prowess. 🏍️

I just logged into my RSS reader and I see a number of unread posts from Jack Baty. That can only mean one thing...he switched platform again. 🀣

Me: That says "shi-rop-oh-dist".

Him: Random...
