My goodness, diagrams.net is an amazingly highly-usable diagram creation (Visio-like) tool. And it's free! And the business model (diagrams.net/about) appears to be non-evil! Congratulations, and thanks, to the draw.io team!

A blog post I wrote last week on how TimeSnapper helped me find, and thereby proceed to share with colleagues, a book recommendation that I vaguely recalled from a month prior!

Hey Fastmail! I've been a customer for about 6 months now, and am continuing to love the service. Fastmail's desktop web client, the iPhone app, support for custom domains, and reliability are all top-notch. Keep up the great work!

Today’s KnotWords by Zach Gage (procedurally-generated?) Daily Standard puzzle has an ABCDE sector. 😂

True Michigan Football stat: Consecutive Rose Bowl games and National Championships won when there was a Schneider in the Michigan Marching & Athletic Bands: 2 (Myself, in my final year, in 1997; my son Eli, in his first year, in 2023!)
