ICYMI: My 2024 Christmas Gift Guide
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).
ROKA Eyewear makes some of the best sunglasses/glasses out there. The Bartons and Aviators are my two suggestions. If you’d like a nice new pair, here is a whopping $50 off.
I’m late to the game, but Omnifocus 4 is such a good app. Yes, it has some rough edges. But its handling of both defer dates and due dates is superb. Mix that with custom perspectives, shortcuts support, and email integration and it blows the competition away.
There is a font that would be perfect for a project I’m working on, but I don’t know if I can justify the license cost for it.
I’m selling a Synology DS423+ if anyone is in the market.
Dear automation people, I need help. I want to monitor a folder (with sub folders) for any videos. For each video that isn’t already mpg/aac/HVEC, I’d like it converted to it. Lastly, I would like the old file deleted/replaced with the new file. (1/2)
If you’re a homeowner, you really can’t have too many buckets available to use. Leaky pipes? Leaky roof? Quick planter? Haul some rocks/water/etc? Impromptu tool box? Quick place to sit? Trash can? The uses are infinite.
I’m always surprised how many people who use Kindles (or other e-readers) don’t know about these resources.

Anyone have a good lead on some Gameboy or Gameboy Color games?
My mom crushed it. 16 rounds of chemo and 30 radiation treatments complete.
iPhone users: I need an app that allows me to message myself & works with Shortcuts. The Messages app does everything I need, except…when you message yourself, it displays as both outgoing & incoming. Signal has a Note to Self feature, but it doesn’t work with Shortcuts. Suggestions?
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?
