Here we are. Again. It feels like a chess game - trying to find the right strategy that will keep me from blowing up the board yet again. Maybe this time I'll checkmate instead of being checkmated. 😂

Heading into week 14 and a new month of 2025. Spring is here and I'm feeling good and eager (once again) to share some thoughts. My online friends are undoubtedly rolling their eyes - here he goes yet again.

This time I'm putting a fresh coat of paint on things and making some updates. For now I am moving any micro posting over to micro.blog at micro.jasonkratz.me. This will give me some control over making easier theme updates here should I want to since Ghost doesn't have any idea of titleless posts and it requires some theme modification to get it to work. It's what micro.blog is designed for so I'm shipping those posts off there. I'll still be posting to HEY World because I like the immediacy and ease of that platform. I will also put those posts here eventually. Everything else? It's going to go here.

This time I also have a new, dare I say bold?, color scheme inspired by the "Beach" theme from Pika. Also a new title: "Cordial Moon".

The bigger question is: what am I going to write about? I really, really don't want to get stuck in a rut of blogging about blogging, or task management, etc. That stuff is covered more than enough elsewhere. I'm not quite sure what I want this blog to be about, but I know what I don't want it to be and it's the stuff that everyone else writes about (too much). That said I do have a few posts queued up in that milieu so bear with me please as I get my blogging legs back under me.

So here we go. Blogging exercise #2,737,521 and counting.... 😂

I use Ulysses to do most my writing, and as much as I like the user interface it has a tendency to bury things in odd ways. One example: how to display the various dates related to a sheet (i.e. created, modified, published). Thankfully, while searching for something else
