Let’s bring some positively back here. Everyone share something good that happened this week:

We had friends over for a craft chocolate tasting night, and it was amazing. And chocolate is amazing. Absolutely blown away by the complexity in flavors you can get with just cacao and sugar.

I wanted to share what I did with the first batch of @boostblue.bsky.social revenue: I bought an iPad!

Boost works on iPad, but it isn’t designed for it at all. I spent the weekend reworking the iPad layout to start what I hope will become the best Bluesky experience on iPad!

I’d ask Brandon Sanderson if he actually still believes in the Mormon church

His books have progressively centered more and more on questioning religion, and have portrayed religion and religious skepticism in a way that I can’t reconcile with someone who supports any religion - let alone Mormonism

Alive or otherwise? I would ask Charles Dickens how The Mystery of Edwin Drood was going to end.

Tracy Hickman was a guest at a tiny Irish gaming convention I helped organise and he was super nice. Incredibly generous with his time and just a really good person to be around.

On a very different note: Bluesky is a lot more tolerable on @boostblue.bsky.social It has a very reliable "pick up where you left off" system we're used to on other platforms, one that native Bluesky devastatingly lacks.

I never have, which is probably for the best as all of my favorite authors are by all accounts terrible people.

In 2018, I attended a book signing for Jim Butcher (author of “The Dresden Files”) and he signed my copy of the new book “Brief Cases” and my favorite book in the series “Proven Guilty”. Got to thank him for his work and the Q&A was interesting and funny. Was also nice to chat with fellow fans.
