A smattering of useful things I’ve come across this month

January 2026

  • NYT gift article - 100 Best books of the 21st Century

  • CraftWork by FlohGro - If you use Drafts and Craft, this may come in very handy for you.

  • When you should use Safe Mode and what it does Howard always has great articles. Anything you want to know about your Mac, it’s probably on Howard’s site.

  • 100 Days To Offload - The whole point of 100DaysToOffload is to challenge you to publish 100 posts on your personal blog in a year.

  • URL Manager Pro - A full-featured, powerful bookmark manager. No fancy front end on this one, just a clean, simple, yet powerful manager.

  • Language Transfer - free courses to learn new language skills with no memorization or writing things down. I’ve just started the Spanish course and am curious about their approach. I’ve been using Duolingo for a while now and am always looking for a new angle.

  • Enclose.Horse - I’m not a huge gamer, but this game has really stuck with me. It appears so simple, but it’s not. You can make it as quick as you’d like or take some time and really try for a good score. Updates daily.

  • Past Puzzle - another quick, fun daily history game. Free, and ad-free. I’ve just found it through Mastodon, and it’s really well-made and fun.

  • Moving your DayOne Journal entries to Obsidian. This Swift Script makes it happen. Sometime back, I used a similar script, and it worked really well.

I’m attempting to keep track of and post my monthly finds this year. We shall see how disciplined I can be! I really enjoy it when other people do this; I find such great stuff. I’m hoping to pass some of the love on.

As always, thank you for taking the time to be here, and I hope it’s a beautiful day. Cheers.
