Here mainly for personal interests & nerdy things (cooking & baking, streaming series, sci-fi & fantasy novels, video games). Also hoping to connect with other tech writing and web dev folks.

Btw, my first Doctor was Tom Baker, and many years later my daughter's was Matt Smith. (Also enjoyed Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant in the role. I need to catch up on the more recent seasons/series!)

Yesterday I stopped at a big box store to pick up CLR for my bathroom tile and garbage disposal and dishwasher pods that I often can't find anywhere else. And then there was this impulse buy, a jellyfish lamp.

Good morning. It's the start of Thanksgiving week in Chicago. I'm hosting on Thursday, but it would not be the holidays in my family without a little drama, so I'm not sure who's showing up yet. 😆 Regardless, my daughter and I are moving ahead with our plans. We will cook together and enjoy anyway.

As a tech writer who notices micro text & helpful tips, I like this. I sometimes forget how restricted my default settings are & need a reminder. Also I like being able to override my defaults on the fly.
