Sam Neil’s dog was named Chuff, which I always thought was a fantastic dog name. What a loss. Truly a legend.

Guys, I'm starting to think these tickets to Taylor's wedding I bought on StubHub aren't real.

Freedom v Fries on Monday. ⚽️

Stop, look, listen….profit? Some capitalism snuck in, as a treat.

There is a rich history of non-automotive designers trying their hand at car design and failing badly. That history just got a little richer.

Seems like a good day to mention I met Barney Frank about a dozen years back at Fire Island Pines, while he sat at an outdoor table at the pizza place and waited for his husband to come out with their pizzas. I babbled like a true fan, thanking him for everything he had done for us.

Great way to start a Sunday.

Lazy Saturday

There is no writer better at deftly yet savagely allowing SF politicos to show themselves than @heatherknightsf.bsky.social at the moment.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

My dog’s best friend is visiting. They get along as well as two dogs ever could - genuinely friends. That said, they still always want whatever toy the other has. Tonight’s prized possession is a bone…

Moonrise over Sedona, AZ October 4 2025

Don’t be evil. Just pay it $24.5M. Including N—mi Wolf. JFC that’s just disgusting.

Taking a few Tylenol. Nothing hurts. I just want to live on the edge.

Found an old hard drive with tons of photos from the 2000s including my first love, Dash. My little monkey face. Just the cutest guy ever.

First big demo for the new gig at our company’s first ever all hands went awesomely. So satisfying to hit a home run my first at bat. 😊

Luca about as exhausted as I’ve ever seen him after day 4 of doggie daycare. It’s adorable. He’s almost grumpy about it.

Big Boys (on Hulu in the USA) is so fucking great. It has Please Like Me vibes by the end of season one. 🥰

New mattress, new slats, new sheets. I’m going to bed at like 6pm.

Someday, science will focus on and solve the truly pressing challenges of humanity. By which I mean successfully laundering king size fitted sheets or duvet covers in the dryer without them regularly forming a ball with a density approaching that of a singularity.

A wish of mine is to not import the framework wars of the 2010s over to this site (or engage in them at all). Much like “the best camera is the one you have with you”, the best tech to use is what you know. If it doesn’t suit customer needs, then learn something new that does. It’s not zero sum.

Had to mute a certain nyc mayoral candidate’s name for 30 days. Was taking over the feed. 🫢

Besties on a hike

She inhaled trace amounts of empathy and her body went into anaphylactic shock.

Dept Q on Netflix is fantastic. Shades of slow horses but very different.

I will never understand why the democrats didn’t spend their four years systematically reinforcing everywhere things functioned via norms not laws, and strengthening reinforcement provisions of the existing laws. This was all fairly predictable, if surprising in scope.

I’m so glad that period of doom and gloom and uncertainty has been at least briefly ended. By which I mean Lorde has teased a new album.

Older woman on my flight maintained she both needed additional time to board and could handle duties of being in an exit row. 🤦‍♂️
