The gym is pretty crowded for 430 am. I guess lots of people were having trouble sleeping last night

Perfect porch sitting weather. Just chilling, listening to music, watching people go by. I don't relax often 😊

I just had a 2FA code that was 666 047 How accurate.

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

In all my years, I didn't think I've ever heard the Canadian national anthem sung in French. Until tonight.

I hope I'm alive to see the ban on gas powered lawn equipment.

Longest training run yet, did it solo. I go back down now for 2 weeks, then go for 50k

Discord is down so I'm checking on my friends here. I should be more active here. I'll work on it

Seems like this will be a typical May / June for me, where I don't sleep. Too much going on and my mind won't turn off.

I was going to make a joke about this being the story of my robot vacuum but then I read the comments and looked up docking on Urban Dictionary and... eh, I'm still going with it. srly tho, why can't my roborock dock? I kicked it into position today.

Being half deaf and trying to figure out where a sound is coming from just has me walking in circles

Coming to the end of my 4th week working with the CDC & today I demoed a tool I've been building. This was the best reaction ever. I'll be riding this high for a while 😊

Out finally hit me tonight that I cannot do everything. I'm exhausted, but loving my new job. Now I need to prioritize and say no (not now) to a lot of opportunities.

I make a conscious effort to do this: www.cnbc.com/2026/03/19/b... Save you a click: “You crossed my mind, and I wanted to say hi.”

Yesterday was the first day at my new job and, like a child after a busy first day of school, I fell asleep at 7:30 last night. I was exhausted!

Earlier this week I was so stressed out about what I had to get done during the week, and now (somehow) I feel like I got everything done? Just 2 things to do tomorrow before family dinner then starting my new job on Monday

Today's the last day at my current job - where I've been for ~7 years. It was a great experience, but I'm ready to move on. New gig on Monday!

I wonder if that dude is going to drive around Kenmore with his windows down, blasting bagpipe music. I'll chip in for gas money.

Tomorrow we will Stand Up for Science in Buffalo! Saturday, 1PM, Niagara Square! I’ll highlight speakers throughout the day, starting with Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz! Bring your friends! Bonus picture of @markpoloncarz.bsky.social from last year’s rally! @standupforscience.bsky.social

I'm excited to share that later this month I'll be starting a new role as a Staff Software Engineer focused on large-scale modernization. I'll be working on software that supports how government serves people - tackling complex problems at scale. Grateful for the opportunity & ready to get to work!

I can't wait to pour that first cup of coffee and sit on my front porch again. Hope I don't have to wait much longer - maybe another 4-6 weeks.

Trump's economy is crushing it: 5.8% of working individuals (9.3 million of us) work multiple jobs to make ends meet – the highest number ever recorded since 1999. Almost half a million have 2 *full time* jobs. Are we great yet?

So if these companies who passed along tariffs to their customers get refunds, how do we, the customers who ultimately paid the tariffs, get our refund?

Just told my Canadian buddy, "at least trump isn't your country's leader."

As an American almost living north of Canada, I don't know who I want to win this game but I do want OT

Today just reaffirms I'd do just fine being retired. With today off from day-job, I went to brunch with my daughter and got some things done around the house (new blinds hung, stuff put away, rear wiper replaced).

Holding my local elected officials accountable. They think NY open meetings law doesn't apply to them.

"We just need to get through this week" I repeat to myself, until I die.

I have (had?) a friend and I noticed I always texted first. One day I stopped texting first. Haven't heard from him since. That was 2 years ago. 😞

Do you: 1) Live near/in Buffalo? 2) Like to organize stuff? 3) Hate what the government is doing to science? If you answered yes, help me organize the Stand Up for Science rally on March 7th! I need reps from UB, Buff State, Canisius, D’Youville to spread the word. I need general support. DM me!

Maybe it'll happen this weekend. If you see fireworks going off in Kenmore, you'll know.

Spotted what is, I think, a Tesla Cybercab last night in Buffalo (Delaware Ave, between the 198 and Hertel). No markings, 'MANUFACTURER' Texas license plate. No rear window.

Me, playing Wordle today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzPy... QUONE - TO QUONE SOMETHING! Nah, we need a medical dictionary! If the patient is difficult, you QUONE him!

Physically tired but mentally wide awake so I guess it's time to get up

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Snow removal on campus went so poorly they cancelled classes tomorrow. We live in Buffalo - we know snow. This is embarrassing.

I don't think I'll get to the gym until March. Good thing I have a home gym in the basement. I should've paused my membership back in November. Those of you showing up in this weather are badasses! 💪

Don't just abolish ice. Abolish ice, then put them all on trial.

I've been mildly sick all week and it's just so annoying: can't workout, nauseous after eating. Really makes me appreciate being healthy, which I hope returns very soon.

Whoever did this, thanks for making my neighborhood a little cooler 🙏🏻

First day of the Spring Semester at Buffalo State is Monday - and classes are cancelled. (Good thing I teach Tuesday!)

“He Can’t Do That” Is a Hope, Not a Strategy open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... "The question is are we prepared to respond when [Constitutional] limits are tested, ignored, or broken. History suggests that waiting until the law is fully cast aside is always too late."

The line at Delta Sonic is crazy but the salt on my car is worse.

Not a done deal, but sketches of new Shake Shack coming to Kenmore?!? I was at the meeting last night and there are definitely both pros and cons (traffic, mainly) but I look forward to this project moving forward.

Oh it's a catch and he's down by contact this time???

Like the Bill's OT loss to the Chiefs 4 years ago, I predict this play will result in a rule change giving coaches 1 challenge flag during playoff OT. NFL won't admit they're wrong but their actions will tell us they were wrong.

This weather front is better organized than the Democratic party

Enjoying these rare weekends when neither my wife nor I have work to do. On Saturday we went to the Buffalo AKG Art Museum then on Sunday snowshoeing at Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve.

I'd ask what my Congressman @reptimkennedy.bsky.social has to say about today's illegal war but he abandoned bsky 5 months ago. He's still posting at the bad place, however.
