Wow, Google didn’t mess up the gumbo by adding tomatoes. Pretty accurate representation of the best gumbo.

Introducing Bayou Theme for Micro.blog
In my opinion, your longform content deserves the spotlight. Yet, in the fast-moving stream of microposts, it often gets buried, fading into the archives quicker than it should. That’s the problem Bayou Theme is designed to solve.
Bayou Theme prioritizes longform writing while keeping your microposts seamlessly integrated. Your latest longform (titled) blog posts stand out, ensuring they get the attention they deserve, while shorter updates remain accessible without dominating the experience.
A little Broken Bow trip comes to an end.
In a location that averages about 0.05” of snow a year, we are now up to 8” in the last few hours.
An unusual site in South Louisiana. More snow today than I’ve seen in last 35 years. Combined.
Here’s more stuff for sale. Clever Supply Co Sidekick ($50), Bellroy Field Notes Cover with 8 notebooks ($80), and an iPad Pro 12.9” 128GB with Apple Pencil and Apple Cover ($625). In case you missed it, I posted some Tom Bihn stuff too.
Any Tom Bihn fans out there? I’ve got a Synik 30 + HLT ($180) and a Cadet with Cache ($180) available. CONUS shipping included. I’ll have more stuff (other brands) available this week too so stay tuned.
For Christmas, we got the kids ModRetro Chromatics. They’ve already been a hit (for the adults too). We managed to snag a few games, but now I’ve got the itch and the chase is on for old GameBoy games.
Baseball.
Looking through some pics from a few years ago and stumbled on this one. It’s one of those random shots attached to good memories that makes it worth more than the photo itself.
My 2024 Christmas Gift Guide
I decided to throw together a Kottke inspired 2024 Christmas Suggestions style of list. No real rhyme or reason, just things I love or that interest me.
I’ve categorized them based on area/location of life.
On Your Person I’m a big EDC person and have put countless hours into research and testing of hundreds of products. If you’re an experienced EDC type, you’ll know about some classics folding knives (pocket knives) like the Sebenza (high end), Bugout (mid-range), and Cadet (budget).
Trying out a new Home Screen strategy.
I want a small wall calendar that’s not designed for use as a planner. I don’t need space to write things and I don’t need large photos of anything. Basically something like this except for a whole year instead of individual months. Anyone know of anything?
The Sustainability of Theme Development on Micro.blog
Originally, Tiny Theme for Micro.blog was simply a personal project for my blog. After I went live with it, I began to receive requests to make it available to others. I had no objections to people using my work in this way, so I did the necessary work to make it as useful to others as it was to me.
From day one, the response was incredibly positive. It received what I consider a high adoption rate and more and more micro.
I have a couple of Field Notes centric bundles available for sale. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Both bundles include multiple Field Notes, a notes sheath, a challenge coin, and more. $105 per bundle.
