I've been extremely impressed with Waveform Lighting's A21 bulbs and linear tube fixtures.

I don't notice the refresh rate on most good LEDs (only on half-wave-rectified garbage, like cheap holiday lights), so I can't really report anything there.

Where Waveform really stands out is ridiculously high-quality light color, with very impressive CRI performance and a very natural look. I go 4000K for my office.

My peak-Tumblr era was 2007–2010. When most people think back to their good old days on Tumblr, the time period they’re thinking of is mostly or entirely after that.

Whatever Tumblr is or was, to most people, happened long after I left.

The people I followed back then are mostly gone now, and the people I’ve followed since then (mostly on Twitter) aren’t here. I don’t know who my community is here, or even if I’ll find one.

I no longer know what works here and what doesn’t. I don’t get any of the jokes or references. I feel like the oldest person in the room.

This doesn’t really feel like going “back” to an old hangout — it feels like starting over.

And I don’t know if it’ll stick or not. It depends on where I find my people. If “we” congregate here, or I find a new community here, that’ll be great — and if not, I’ll probably go wherever they end up.

You already can!

Tap the Add Playlist button, then tap Starred.

You now have a special playlist that shows all of your starred episodes.

It's pretty low-tech — it's a single file that I read into a "lines" array, split by newlines, limited to the last ~1000 lines, and written out to the file every time anything is logged.

It would be FAR more performant if I did file-append operations and something more sophisticated for managing length, but in practice, this log is low-volume enough for the difference not to matter.

I know everyone sees the same copy here, but damn. You have no idea, generic text. Apt.

My Tumblr drafts folder after 8 years away, with drafts written between 2010–2011.

Over a decade ago, I wrote a line of code to block anyone from ever resetting my password, which would have looked something like this:

public function reset_password() { if ($this->id == 1 || $this->id == 2) return false; // ... }

…which made it hard to log in since they invalidated all Tumblr passwords many years ago. Someone must have finally removed that in the last year or two.

A lot has changed since I left. But I still see some familiar faces and features. It feels a lot like going back and visiting your school a decade after you've graduated.

I don't know if I have a place for this in my life right now, but it's nice to have the option again.

First time seeing a kid watch, he turns it over and immediately asks, "Where are the gears?"

Cake. Decorating is hard, but it tastes great. Happy birthday @tiffanyarment!

I had some cake scraps from cutting @tiffanyarment's cakes into smaller cakes to stack into a bigger cake so I cut the scraps into smaller tiny cakes and stacked them into a bigger tiny cake.

Happy birthday, @tiffanyarment! (at River City Grille)

Many lemons gave their lives (and skins) to make @tiffanyarment's birthday cake this year.

He had a good day.

Roped him into testing some sencha.
