As someone who has recently had to start managing a fleet of macbooks: amusingly, this may very well be what happened. Modern macs are not like a PC where you can just wipe it, due to a need to lock down on the secondary market for stolen m

This is something I don't understand. Kagi has been my only search engine since they dropped the price to $10/mo. I've only ever used Kagi with Firefox, and I use it on Linux, Windows, and Mac. I just add it to my search engi

I made the same switch, and have also loved it. I also much prefer the interface to Gmail's. If you've got one account and want to configure a bunch of addresses to go to the same inbox, it's a no brainer. But if you're

Those are beautiful! And I love the way you get seemingly continuous grain all the way around. If you no longer work on these, I would love to learn more about the processes you use for the pressure infusing and the finishing.
