Omnibear v2.3.0 has been release with some improvements to the login flow. But more importantly, it is now available in the Chrome Web Store! If you have a website that supports Micropub, check it out. Also posted to: news.indieweb.org
Had some fun with the site recently and added some new pages/functionality: added animations between pages (when opening posts) improved caching to faster page loads updated search page components added more hats
Raptors are so cool. I had a great time watching and interacting with this Harris Hawk and Lanner Falcon with Total Raptor eXperience in La Jolla. Such amazing birds with unique abilities that fit unique niches in ecology. It takes a lot of dedication to raise one of these birds but it was fun to spend a few hours...
I now have bird stats on my website pulled from my ebird profile!

Caught this wild view on my last flight home from the east coast. I’ve never seen the last glows of sunset from above. Was even more wild in motion with a slight parallax effect.
Thanks to my family for coming out this morning. It was fun sharing the birds with both the kids and adults. The indigo buntings and orioles were a big hit and it was really cool having the bald eagles to fly over for us. Even with the big group we still encountered 32 species! Also, thanks to my cousin Jude for...
