"Your newborn's cradle cap will go away on its own in a few weeks", they said. "Oh, just scrub it each time you give the baby a bath, it will be gone in no time" is another lie you may have heard.

After we tried a "wait & see & just scrub during baths" approach that lead to baby #1 having cradle cap for like.. 9 months, probably? I tried a more active intervention when baby #2 was around 3 months old.

I wrote about what I did & how it went.

I wrote about the physical books/print outs I am happy to have as part of my personal disaster & emergency preparedness resource collection, and how I find value in them in my non-emergency day-to-day.

In case you've been wondering, 2025 will also be the #YearOfTheBlog as far as I'm concerned.

I switched my personal website to #Eleventy and found an unexpected recursive error. Not sure if it's my fault, but I'm blogging about it anyway.

Was noodling on a challenging aspect of a website I want to build with #11ty last night instead of sleeping.

This morning in the shower I got the answer - instead of copying the steps from just one of my #11ty blog posts, I just need to combine that with another of my own blog posts for the CMS part!

Lesson of the day: ALWAYS BE BLOGGING

"Light rain expected to start at your location soon, and last for [timeframe]".

When it rains [these notifications], it pours [these notifications]. (Dang why didn't I think of that before posting)

Posted some thoughts on my blog about these notifications on iOS. What climate conditions would make them useful?

New on the blog, probably mainly of interest to you if you spend a lot of time writing code, especially but not only in #Ruby:

"Settings in My Shell Profile that Just Make Sense" (why yes I have seen some tiktoks, why do you ask)

We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City this week. (All weeks should be a 3 day work week with an extra weekend in the middle, imo)

I blogged about our stay!

A useful thing I've been doing on my site lately is to make blog posts out of the resources I'd list out if someone said "hey, do you know any good resources for [whatever]?"

People have increasingly been asking this about how to start a blog - so here is my blog on how to make a blog!

Should we make #YearOfTheBlog a thing? I have a blog I'm trying to update more regularly: https://www.scmb.xyz/
