Wrapping up lil’ document editor “research”, starting to write more on it. In short: cross-platform in the Apple ecosystem is possible, but tricky once you get into third-party libraries. Agent coding makes a lot possible, but doesn’t make anything trivial. Prototypes without a plan for using it regularly, at least in the process of building the thing, are not going to generate useful insight.
False spring has passed in Portland, real spring is coming up soon. Our yard is starting to bloom. I’m fine with trading off an hour of sleep tomorrow for later sunsets.
📚 Iberia / James Michener, Liberation Day / George Saunders
🎧 Jill Scott, To Whom This May Concern. First album of hers I’ve listened to, it is excellent.
📺 Wonder Man, Ponies. The latter is great but somehow over-complicated the season finale.
🎮 Marathon, somewhat surprising to me. But, I’ve played a lot of Halo and entirely too much Destiny, so this tracks.

✈️ Visited my parents in Dallas, had literally too much Tex-Mex. Happened to sit at the table next to Randy Travis at dinner one night. We rented a new Ford Bronco, and that is a large car. Perfect for Texas highways, though, if you don’t mind the wind noise.
