Kung Fu Hustle is such a great Looney Tunes live action movie and it's hilarious. Kids loved it and cackled all the way through. The landlady is such terrific character design. Everything is so surreal and whacky. I'm too tired to have anything terribly interesting to say about it, other than it's a fun trip - just don't go into it expecting any.... realism.

Tonight's movie night movie will be, "Kung Fu Hustle (2005)." Now that we've watched a few classic Kung Fu movies, it felt like it was time for this one.

Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of the enemy.

The big Tapestry 2.0 launch yesterday went pretty well, I think. Thanks for all the congratulations and such - we all appreciate it! And, as far as I know, no huge show-stopper bugs have emerged. So that's a big load off for sure.

That said, though, if you have a swimming pool of iPhone Duos you want to get rid of, just let me know and I'll gladly take them off your hands.

Assuming they're free, of course.

And then sell them on eBay because of the aforementioned need of food and shelter.

We raised the price of Tapestry with this release and some folks have wanted to know why.

We hardly ever raise our prices, so really, it's kind of a rare thing for us - but it was a necessity of survival.

That's it, really.

Feels like some out there are assuming we're just looking for funds to fill swimming pools with gold-plated iPhone Duos and float on them Scrooge McDuck style.

I mean, we'd all love to try that of course (who wouldn't), but lame things like food and shelter come first.

Tapestry 2.0 submitted! App Store gods willing, it should get released next week!

Feeling that strong desire to retire. Anyone have a million bucks I could... borrow? I'll give them back in... 80-90 years. Trust me bro.

With the price of everything lately, I might need more than 1 million.

Guess I'm screwed, tbh.

Meanwhile CEOs making like.. $60mil apparently.

Neat.

It's wild to me how specialized construction guys seem to be.

Trying to get some of our basement fixed and there's a guy who apparently only hangs drywall and a totally different guy who tapes and muds it. And they come on different days.

When my dad was around, he'd do this kind of stuff entirely himself. Every job by himself. He had most of the tools to do all the jobs, too. And he wasn't even in construction - he just knew what to do and how to do it somehow!

Wish he was still alive. 😔

Work follows me wherever I go.

@Gargron the neon sign, I think, was a background visual gag from earlier where there was a shop selling neon signs in the town.

Burying my house-fixing woes in code which will almost certainly create new woes later.

Its woes all the way down.

In other news, I don't know how people live and drive in Chicago everyday. Holy hell. This midwesterner thinks ya'll are nuts. And the streets and intersections and stoplight arrangements are dumb. And the speeds are somehow both way too fast and stopped-on-the-expressway at the same time.

We mis-timed things and ended up in what I assume must be the usual rush hour traffic jams multiple times.

Surprised my steering wheel didn't deform under the pressure of my death grip.

Got eyes tested. Only slightly worse than last year. New lenses quoted over $500. lol nope.

@moelassus everyone talks about Costco but sadly no Costco here. I’d have to travel like 50 miles. Although at this point maybe it’d be worth it.

Pushed #TapestryApp 1.9 to the App Store yesterday. Mostly a lot of bug fixes including an important iCloud syncing fix if you've been having troubles.

I mean just look at them all: https://usetapestry.com/history

I attempted to fix every single known crashing bug, too. We'll see how that goes.

Don't miss out: https://apps.apple.com/app/tapestry-by-iconfactory/id6448078074?ls=1&mt=8&pt=8934&at=10l4G7&ct=TAPESTRY_SITE

As of yesterday it's been one full month since our solar panels were turned on. And as of today, we've generated a total of 2 MWh. ☀️

According to the tracker, this is equivalent to planting 106 trees. 🌳

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Holy crap this is awesome. #Artemis
