1. Safari Technology Preview: I started using Safari Technology Preview back in the late 2010s just for kicks, and started using it again recently. I don’t think I’ll ever notice any of the WebKit updates, but hey… it’s like beta testing, which I am wont to do as well.

Safari Technology Preview side note : I typed this into ChatGPT, but didn’t get any confirmation of my hypotheses, which is that the icon (purple) and initials of the project (STP) are some kind of homage to Stone Temple Pilots. I may never know.

Key Features:

1.  Access to Experimental Features: Includes the latest updates to WebKit, the open-source browser engine that powers Safari. It often includes cutting-edge web technologies like enhanced JavaScript, CSS, and WebAssembly capabilities.
2.  Performance Improvements: Frequent updates focus on enhancing speed and responsiveness.
3.  Regular Updates: Typically updated bi-weekly, ensuring users have access to the most recent innovations.
4.  Isolated from Stable Safari: Runs independently of the main Safari browser, allowing users to test without affecting their regular browsing experience.
5.  Developer Tools: Offers enhanced developer tools to facilitate debugging and web development.
6.  Cross-Platform: Available for macOS and macOS beta versions, ensuring compatibility across Apple’s ecosystem.

Safari Technology Preview is ideal for web developers, designers, and tech enthusiasts who want to stay ahead with the latest browser capabilities.

2. Elk: We went out to dinner for my birthday with my parents to the nearby Greenview Inn last night, and they had elk as a game special on the menu. I love going to a restaurant will a fully-formed plan of what I’m going to order, and then having the entire enterprise washed out with the mention of a special. We go to the Greenview enough that I know what I want most times, but find their specials to often be delightful and seasonal preparations of something that elicits my unbridled curiousity.

I really liked it; it came plated with a carrot reduction and some sweet potatoes (which I mostly skipped). I had a nice bite of Rhonda’s prime rib, too.

Elk eats like red meat, but has fewer calories and fat. I liked it!

3. Feedbin’s Email Newsletter Subscription: I’ve been using Feedbin as the backbone of my RSS reeding for a long time. I tried Feedly for a bit but jumped over to Feedbin long ago. One of the features that I like about it and keeps it in the top slot among its competitors is the Email Newsletter Subscription feature. Feedbin creates a fake email address for you, and your newsletters are delivered to Feedbin instead of your email inbox, which surely runneth over. I’m still working out how this works with NetNewsWire and Unread on iPadOS, though.
