this is something i do a lot: joan & I were watching handmaids tale, s5? where soomones fly a small personal aircraft from ne usa to europe (paris) by hopping from start > goosebay nfld > greenland > iceland? > scotland>? to mem seems unpossible in such a small plane (ftr, i was wrong). so i used gemini+ to weigh in<\/a>.
my first instinct it to send direct to joan, either messenger chat or an email. decide tomeial (veasy<\/a> to do with macro pad button<\/a>), som compose, but before hitting send, i realize a better way is to make a blog post
the benefits: the blog post is multimedia, blog posts are taggable, linkable, can host a conversation in the comments, etc. serendipitous browsing – note the link to a story about putin stealing some dude’s nfl superbowl<\/a> ring.
and weirdly, my jimmies get rustled every time I add a link to something.
here’s some screenshots on what this looks like; most stuff is done with mouse; a clipboard history prog is handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
