Between writing a blog post almost every day and going back to the beginning of this blog and re-reading stuff I wrote over twenty years ago, it’s been a bloggy month over here! I only missed two days. I can live with that. I’ve blogged more this month than I have in years, and that […]

The expert is calling from inside the house
I’ve played product manager more often this year than I have in years. It’s been a fun role to get back into. It’s also been a long time since I played product manager at a larger company. The last two times were tiny startups, and well, it’s a very different experience. With tiny startup product […]
Avoiding cynicism
I mentioned this last week, but while I’ve been fixing formatting issues on my old blog posts, I’ve made the mistake of reading some of them. Getting a glimpse of me 20 years ago has been interesting – he was so angry, usually about work, and talked about it a lot. That guy was on […]
First day back
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 […]
Football, no, the other one
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 […]
Nothing to say
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, […]
The past is embarassing
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. […]
A Simple Thanksgiving
“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. […]
Mid-caffeination Mastodon Thoughts
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 […]
Sunday night’s alright
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 […]
