# I really enjoyed reading James Thompson's blog post about building the first pre-OS X Dock. Fun story and bit of Apple history. Also, Jason Snell's MacWorld article about OS X back in February 2000 where he highlights all of the big changes that were announced. I'm sure I read it back in the day, fun to re-read today on the 25th anniversary of the MacWorld reveal of OS X. I remember the excitement of the announcement and then installing the public beta. Good times.

# Watched the ForeverNotes videos on YouTube and considering trying it out as a supplement to the OBTF that I've been happily using the past 9 months for a basic daily notes that primarily serves as a springboard for blog posting. A helpful minimal implementation of ForeverNotes might cover non-blog text for tracking projects that I would otherwise not add to Reminders app. Maybe deeper notes for nature studies like bird observations?

# So, Luigi Mangione is labeled a terrorist by the same government that deliberately carries out a War on Children?
"In November, over a year into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, a report by the Gaza-based Community Training Center for Crisis Management produced a grim statistic: “Nearly all children in the embattled Palestinian enclave believe their death is imminent — and nearly half of them want to die.”
That's interesting.
# "What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass."
- Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
