Done Since 2023-07-02

Between eyes and ears it hasn't been a particularly good week. The eye infection is mostly recovered, but it's still uncomfortable. I have an appointment Monday to get it looked at. I've pretty much decided to get rid of the (OTC) hearing aids.

On the other hand, I got an unexpected call from a friend I'd lost touch with. One of hundreds, but it's something. And a box of mangoes from my financial advisor, who is based in Florida. My son's birthday was Thursday, and we had a good conversation over Zoom Friday. (But how the fsck did I get old enough to have a son who's pushing 40?)

On the gripping hand (speaking of Florida), For the First Time Ever, Human Rights Campaign Officially Declares ‘State of Emergency’ for LGBTQ+ Americans; Issues National Warning and Guidebook to Ensure Safety for LGBTQ+ Residents and Travelers. Here's the Guidebook, to save you a click. In other news, the Earth is the hottest it's been in over 100,000 years.

There are a few good links, and a lot of awful ones. Modern Font Stacks is one of the good ones -- it gives you system font stack CSS organized by typeface classification for every modern operating system. This lets you speed up web page loading by using fonts that are already installed, no matter what OS the reader's browser is running on.
