It's amazing that even if you are careful, you will regularly find time/date issues after 4pm on the US/Pacific timezone (at least during DST). One advantage of being on the US west coast is that you don't have to run tests at crazy hours to discover these UTC/timezone related bugs.

Pretty sure the best two teams in the NFL did not play in the superbowl tonight. The best one did win however. Seahawks were so heavily favored but nobody wants to say that out loud before the game, lest it tarnish the spectacle. Anyway. NFC West gonna be where it's at next year again for sure

Green day is about to piss off a lot of people, either by making a statement or by not making a statement. #SuperBowlLX #GreenDay

To be fair so do a lot of of people in SAN FRANCISCO. I grew up in SF (pretty close to Candlestick, dad was a season ticket holder for many years), and Santa Clara might as well be Mexico or Canada, from a "getting there" perspective from SF :P

Holy crap guys, it's International Clash Day! The only day that matters! A friendly reminder... Know Your Rights! www.kexp.org/events/kexp-...

I've been really enjoying watching @sammyobeid.bsky.social 's standup routines. Here's a zinger: "Jay-Z was in the Epstein files.... Now he's got a hundred problems..." youtu.be/nbi0xnHOApE?...

I just scheduled a vet appointment, for the first time in my life. We're adopting my dad's dog Fluffy after bringing her up here to Duvall in the PNW. Someone remarked that this is gonna be her "retirement" from taking care of my dad (who just passed away). I'm not crying, you are...

You know you've been flying to an airport a lot when you recognize the same bartender at the same airport restaurant.. Fortunately not enough that he recognizes you...

It's true. Waymo is officially at SFO. Sorta (car rental). And not for everyone.

finally a good dating app

Hey I see a couple of your names on here. Signing these things can involve some professional risk, especially these days. But the more big tech folkz who sign this, maybe the more effect it will have on big tech leadership? Very disappointed with those leaders. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/26/a...

Hallelujah, the crosslink connection for Line 2 opens March 28, 2026. Line 2 from Redmond to downtown Seattle and then north, or change to Line 1 and down south the SeaTac! Amazing!

The first result when I searched for "New Jack Swing" on Spotify is a playlist called "New Jack Swing 101" created by @anildash.com That tracks.... open.spotify.com/playlist/1qh...

With the new about Green Day playing at the Superbowl, I keep on coming up with a wishlist of songs they should play - songs that are popular enough to be for the moment, but ya know, say something: Here's a few (some obvious): 1. She 2. Know your enemy 3. Warning 4. American Idiot 5. Holiday

What is up with wheels falling off the 49ers bus? This is so bad. I need to stop watching this.

#Minneapolis showing the rest of us how it's done! Look at how their volunteers rapidly respond to #ICE, such as @whstancil.bsky.social's video. These are modern-day "Minutemen" who defend their community with short notice. Take note and prepare your neighborhoods, too. We are stronger together.

WTAF GenX? Why are you so amp'd up on ICE? Also, interesting to see that Boomers+ are actually more likely (or same) to want to abolish ICE than GenX. That's a bit of a surprise to me. As with all these polls, I suspect this is a slightly lagging indicator and the sentiment here is changing daily.

RIP Bob Weir. Really.

Put this on the ever growing list of evidence for "he's just really not that smart, among other things"...

In typical Google fashion, the Gemini user experience as a developer is a horribly confusing mess. So many overlapping offerings with similar names and unclear and uneven levels of finish and support. Enough that it makes you not want to bother with it until they clarify greatly.

CNN graphics put the asterisk in the wrong place, it appears…

I just checked, and the word "Epstein" does not appear on the CNN.com homepage. I'd say that the Trump administration is succeeding in its distraction campaign.

There's something kinda wholesome and midwest about throwing snowballs at the cops, as a form of protest. Maybe not strictly legal, but nobody is going to get injured from a snowball to the riot helmet. If only the cops would throw snowballs instead of ya know, shooting people dead...

Hayley Williams going on record about Morgan Wallen, the mayor of Minneapolis dropping the f-bomb on ICE in his city... You know there's a time and place for everything and now the time and this (the United States of America) is the place for those things. (btw, I'd love to hear more)

Microwave ice.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

I just learned about #YuleBoasting and its definitely something I need to do. dragon-in-a-fez.tumblr.com/post/7707950...

Maybe this will be enough to get a real impeachment effort going. Presidents can't just invade foreign countries without Congressional approval. www.ktvu.com/news/us-stri...

Computer Chronicles took the tech revolution seriously and with a lot of interest. Stewart was a big part of what it made it special for those of us a certain age. kottke.org/26/01/004811...

Womp womp womp. Another SF venue bites the dust. I'm sure there are new ones that are going to pick up the void... right? yes? maybe?

How did they get Prince music? Way to make it epic.

Get in a car in the U.S. with 3 other people. They want to deport one of them (or maybe all). When they say "besieged by the third world" - that's about as thin a cover for "non-white people" as you can be. This is about as white nationalist as you can get, without using the word white.

It started out xenophobic and racist, but then it turns out to also be classist. Federal funding for childcare is what lets many mothers work in this country. "Reducing fraud waste and abuse" can be used for declining any federal spending. It's a lie, see DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

How can one be raised on Sesame Street and be a republican in the US these days? I feel more connection to Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, Grover, Cookie Monster, Count von Count, Bert & Ernie, Big Bird... all of em... than I feel to most electeds. I also identify with Muppets. Maybe even mores.

Well. Stranger Things kinda jumped the shark but in the best way... Looking forward to the last episode!

This is the view across the street from home. Still ice/graupel and such on the ground, from Friday night. Nothing new, just hasn't melted in 2.5 days. Doesn't look anything like this a 1/4 mile in downtown... Nothing on the ground there. #wawx #duvallwa

Best game to watch of the season. Not the best game but fun to watch. #49ers

The NFL playoffs are about who is best during the playoffs not about the season record. The 49ers are definitely improving. The Seahawks are great too. I think the 49ers are improving faster than the Seahawks and it will be a great playoff run. Sorry PNW neighbors, I'm still a 49ers fan.

Finally, some winter-ish weather. Graupel. We get so much damn graupel. It's liminal weather. Neither rain, nor hail, nor snow. It's kinda the ugly stepchild of the three. #wawx #DuvallWA

Can you just imagine... if Prince got to sing "What is Hip?" with Tower of Power? Here's Prince covering it with his own band (live)... wow www.youtube.com/watch?v=47X3...

I think young people in America could really benefit from listening to more Clash, early Elvis Costello, 2Tone Ska, Sex Pistols and other 70s UK Punk. There's so much today that rhymes and echoes the UK in the late 70s and early 80s.

TIL that in WA State, you can make a left turn from a two way street onto a one-way street... *at a red light*!!! What insanity is this? I've never seen anyone actually *do* this. Everywhere else I've driven, left-on-red is only allowed for one-way to one-way (stop and go like going right on red).

"People are People" hits in a completely different way in the context of attitudes like this... youtu.be/DTYsElEGswc?...

I think this captures a lot of how I view AI impacting software engineering. Enhancing the role of judgement over mechanical code production. obie.medium.com/what-happens...
