#Eclipse2024 - I have been waiting seven years to have a better chance at getting a totality image in focus and the clouds cleared *just* in time.

Disappointed that @NPR missed a great opportunity to promote ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) as the true cross-cultural date format. Happy 2020-02-02!

Looks like @wunderground has pulled the plug on the API that supported outdated app versions (5.x) on Android. New app (6.x) is still terrible. Welcome to 2020.

Hey @twitter, you forced me onto the "new" Twitter just now, and it sounds like you're not going to permanently respect my preference for a purely chronological feed. Fix that serious lapse in judgment, please.

I was wondering -- and Googling -- this over the weekend, so I'm pleased to see such an official answer confirming my suspicions!

Initial skepticism about the @NWSSaltLakeCity winter weather advisory is waning: panoramic view from West Jordan. #utwx

It was cloudy all day here and there's a winter storm warning in a few hours, so I'd like to thank @NWSSaltLakeCity for shooing away the clouds (during a shutdown, no less!) just long enough to enjoy tonight's #SuperWolfBloodMoon eclipse. #utwx

C'mon, you've only heard me use it a handful of times. Maybe it's just a fluke?

With visibility this low I'm happy to let @RideUTA do the driving.

I use a Macbook Pro. A switch sounds great... I'm afraid there's no escape.

Wanted: a terminal plugin that causes new stdout/stderr to be displayed in time with the beat of my background music.

Dear @twitter: If you realize "See less often" should be an option on a notification, couldn't you please just let me *disable* that type of notification altogether?

Twitter must think I don't check my Notifications enough because now they're injecting things I can't disable. I can pick "see less often" but so far that's not having much of an effect.
