A few low-level thought leaders who post on socials frequently write in a way that I just can’t understand. Their words sound smart, but they combine them in ways I can’t comprehend.

This isn’t even a critique. Some people tell me that my writing creates similar word puzzles for them.

A little walk this morning for my birthday. Beautiful day out today!

I just finished reading Faces of the North. ★★★★★

Planning a few podcast advert experiments for Pika this fall. I hope that it helps a few more people find Pika!

I don’t think you’re ready for letsjelly.com

Wow, I’ve never even heard of Naltrexone before. It appears that perhaps there should be multiple treatment options for alcohol addiction–who’d’a thunk it?! Very interesting podcast from Reflector: The Sea Change.

Some words about routine.

Moved our oldest to her first non-our-home, non-dorm place this weekend. 16 months until graduation. 🕰️🪰

Moving your kid into their first off campus housing and all the IKEA furniture? This is highly recommended.

Allen hex bits in metric for impact drill.

It’s Been Awhile

I’m sad to say I’m finding much better search results on Google than DDG. It’s been many years, but I might be heading back…

Any US-folk have experience enabling fraud alerts or security freezes with credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion)? I think I’ve hit the tipping point in data breach letters such that I should probably do something, but I also don’t want to make my life overly painful going forward.

I’m trying Halide and it’s a bit overwhelming. For instance, I’m trying Process Zero and does it require RAW files? I have a fair bit of storage, but that seems a hurdle to using Halide as my primary camera app

It took me a long while, but I finished reading Shōgun. Now I can finally watch the show!

That’s pretty cool. It’s like we’re watching TV again!

It’s that time of the decade again. Time to think about getting new speakers for my home stereo. 🔈🔉🔊

Today was a pretty solid deep focus day on some Jelly code. W00T!

That moment when you realize the name-drop in the nonfiction book you’re reading is your daughter’s third-grade teacher’s uncle. 😆

Do yourself a favor and watch the men’s 1500m replay if you didn’t see it live. (Try not to spoil yourself in the process. Though I see NBC puts Olympic clips on YouTube with the results in the title. 🙄)

That was good!

Since last year my (HBO) Max streaming plan has removed one device, removed 4k UHD, and removed Dolby Atmos. Naturally the price has increased to $20/year. 🤔

I want to start writing up our Iceland trip, but after a day of work I’m ready to…not do that. I’m very fortunate to be working on cool stuff with Good Enough, but it still takes a lot of energy!

Vampire Weekend’s main set was fantastic. Staging-wise it was great, but especially tight and inventive musically.

The encore of audience-requested cover songs…is not good. The band does okay, but Ezra knows no lyrics. Especially jarring in comparison to the set.

But overall, highly recommended!
