It’s Fleet Week again. I don’t like fleet week. This is pretty much what runs through my mind whenever I hear those jets.

Thanks to JWZ and.. oh dear, I don’t know who made the comic.

Here’s my feedback letter to Google Keep Notes

Right now, labels in Google Keep Notes are minimally useful. One tweak would change that dramatically!

On the main Keep Notes screen, I’d like to see only unlabeled notes. Maybe make an option in settings: see all notes by default / see only unlabeled notes by default. Or make a button in the interface at the top of the list of labels titled “Unlabelled”.

This option would make labels much more useful!! As it is now, I can’t both use labels and feel free to make a quick unlabeled note, for fear that I will accidentally lose a note in my giant pile of unsorted notes. So I just don’t use labels at all, which is a shame!

To describe it more completely, I’d like my workflow to be:
– make a quick, unlabelled note whenever the notion strikes
– later, either just complete the task or choose to label the note with a tags such as: urgent, work, personal, Big Project, etc.
– when my unlabeled pile is empty, I can move on!
-when considering my “Big Project”, I know I can find the note either in “unlabeled” or “Big Project” and it won’t be lost among the hundreds of other unlabeled notes!

Thanks very much for making Keep Notes!
Best regards,
Lee Sonko

And my follow-up letter

Nevermind. I see the bug has been outstanding for 5 years. I’m trying Workflowy now.

When I was a kid in deep suburban New Jersey, there were summer nights where the front yard shimmered and glowed and shifted with thousands of moats of light created by fireflies! It was pure magic!

I haven’t seen such a spectacle since the 1980s. Where have they gone? I’ve read reports that firefly populations are way down.

My question to you: have you seen fireflies in the past few years? Where?

Burning Man is not happening this year. You can watch it not happen, live, right now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jUOPgEtaSE Rewind the livestream to about sunrise this morning to see a dance party. I’m most enamored of the tricycle with the 40′ tall illuminated tower on it!

I’ve finally found a pretty good solution for keeping my glasses fog-free.

First, see the video below.

I put medical tape on the top, inside of my mask and fold it down; and I stick that onto my nose and face. My favorite so far is the blue Nexcare “strong hold for sensitive skin”. It’s $8/roll but comes off fairly easily and doesn’t leave residue on my face. Other tapes work well too.

And I use an anti-fog cloth. The cloth keeps my glasses from fogging at every breath. Instead, water drops start dripping down after a while.

The combination works “pretty well” which is way better than I had before.
