I was off all last week for Thanksgiving, and I had a very hard time getting back into work mode… which I guess is the sign of a good vacation (even though we didn’t go anywhere). On top of that, I’m prepping for a big allergy test, which means I’ve been off of all antihistamines […]
I just searched my old posts for “soccer” and there are a bunch, but none about the Premier League and proper football. I’ve been going through the 2,500+ posts on my blog, fixing things broken by moving platforms, and there are so many posts about American football. Jen and I used to Tivo all the […]
Brian and I successfully accomplished Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, and today I’m very tired. I think it’s because I’m in the “everything’s worn off” part of the prep for an allergy test that’s happening in a couple of weeks. No antihistamines means I’m a snotty tear-streaked mess, which is both a fashion no-no, and exhausting. So, […]
This blog is twenty-something years old, and has moved blogging platforms at least three times, and between various WordPress installs at least another three times. Some of the older posts got messed up along the way, so I’m going back through them and trying to fix them. Re-reading stuff I wrote from 2001 is… something. […]
“Dad, don’t ramen it.” Brian Lawver That’s how my son tells me not to overdo it. Why? Well, I had a thing about making overcomplicated ramen recipes, and now it’s a thing. I’m not going to ramen Thanksgiving this year! It’s a good year to keep it simple, play the hits, and have some fun. […]
Derek Powazek posted this on Mastodon yesterday: An actual use for machine learning that I’d want: a bot that records all the posts that cause me to block someone, saves them into a db, and then automatically hides posts that match above a certain threshold. Derek on Mastodon I love a good brain exercise, so […]
Especially when you don’t have to go to work the next day! I spent this weekend recovering from all the people time from the work trip, and unpacking. This week is all about getting ready for Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. It’s all food, no presents, and being thankful. I love it. I hope you have […]
I flew home from a work trip yesterday, which required setting an alarm for 2:30AM to make sure I got to the airport before a 5:15AM flight. I knew I needed to sleep, but I didn’t want to sleep through my alarm so I skipped my usualy melatonin and then… didn’t sleep. I can’t remember […]
My alarm is set for 2:30AM, which is in less than an hour. I’m supposed to be asleep so it can wake me up. That is not going to happen, as I never actually got to sleep. I have to get in a car at 3AM so I can get to the airport so I […]
I have a bad habit at work of saying “I don’t care” without qualifying it. It comes off as sarcastic or dismissive, when that’s not how I mean it – which means I need to find a new way to express it. Most of the time, it pops out of my mouth when my manager […]
