#Finch. What is it about this particular app that has allowed me to stick with it when I chop and change between so many others?

This is my KBDCraft 60% typewriter.

Built from a Kit Lilith, with pieces from case Adam, along with some purchased parts and some I just had lying around. Plus some round "typewriter" keycaps from AliExpress.

It's also mostly hollow, so theoretically I could install a small PC like a Raspberry Pi or a NUC in there. But for now, it's good to use with a tablet.

I'm a software developer by trade. I've done my share of pretty complex coding. My wife is intimidated by what I can do with a small amount of JavaScript.
... But I am intimidated by what she can do with VLOOKUP and pivot tables. It's just crazy sometimes.

Together we have a Google Sheet with scripting attached that basically runs a part of the business she works for.

an animated version of a rabbit-hole emoji. it starts as just a hole, then a rabbit pops up, then back down.

I found this image in a search, but the link to the website is broken, and I can't find a source. It claims to be a combined keyboard and power bank. And it might be specific to iPhone, whereas I use Android, but this is in the right direction, at least...

Does anyone remember forum #userbars ?
They were little 300px x 19px images you would stack in your forum profile signature. Sort of avatar-adjacent.
I just dug up a bunch I created years ago, and it's brought back some fond memories...

I stumbled across a new app for emotion logging/journalling called "Mojito". You choose from a pre-defined list of emotions, shake them up (literally) and it assigns you a cocktail. Apparently mine today is "Frozen " because I'm in a bit of a slump?
