The Davenport Hotel is an integral part of Spokane’s identity.Β A new MAC exhibition looks back on their shared history From where we’re sitting now, it’s hard to imagine Spokane without the Davenport Hotel. The historic building is such a visual landmark and a fixture of downtown life that its

I've lost count of the visual glitches & questionable design choices in macOS Tahoe. The image below shows stray text in the border of the Finder window.

From time to time, desktop icons will simply vanish until I click the Finder icon.

I've got two bylines (well, same byline, different articles) in the @inlander.com this week.

One is for Emerge CdA's INK! Print Rally. The other is something completely different: Rate debates in a local irrigation district.

Β» Interview with MacSurfer’s New Owner, Ken Turner Over the past week, I've been working to track down the new owner of MacSurfer's Headline News, a beloved site...

MacSurfer has relaunched under new stewardship. IMHO, there's still a place for barebones headline aggregators. They keep us out of info bubbles.

At the same time, I've no clue why "Taylor Swift Engaged to Travis Kelce" is currently its own category on MacSurfer.

Two tees arrived today and measure a full size smaller according to their own chart, making them unwearable for me. Caveat emptor.

So what exactly marks the point where we've undeniably crossed the line into kleptocratic fascism? Are there still people on the fence trying to convince themselves things aren't that bad?

A 3rd @inlander.com / @alayt.bsky.social double bill this week, this time for My Turn Theater.

Note that thick tree cover tends to be a feature of the most desirable areas. It's simple: We like and value the myriad benefits of trees, whether we're conscious of that or not. So plant more and stop cutting 'em down.
