Alfred Theme: Sequoia Dark

Software

There's a new version of macOS on the horizon, macOS Sequoia (version 15), and I've been enjoying the beta so far without many hiccups. Naturally, I felt inspired to replicate the latest Spotlight style as closely as possible in an Alfred Theme. I did take…

Fontaines D.C.

The artwork for the Fontaines D.C. album "Romance". There's an illustration with an oddly shaped pink heart with a distorted face on it, tears dripping from its eyes. the word "romance" hovers above it in neon green, all over a sky blue background.

There's something about these songs. A lot of them almost bother me, I don't like it. But I kind of want to hear it again. Unsurprisingly, I lean toward the lighter songs on the record. Grian, the singer, has a good voice and delivery style.

Perhaps you missed it, but the big news this week was that we finally got a mugshot for Donald Trump. One result of this was that the mugshot was shared on social media by millions of people. The mugshot on its own, in my opinion,…
