In 2019 from I bought the Pilot Juice Up Gel Pen - 0.4 mm - 10 Color Set from jetpens.com and I just today finished off the blue one. It's the color I use most in my planner so it makes sense. It's always fun to actually finish off a pen.

I've been evangelizing for Valley Heat for a while now but if you haven't tried it yet the Dead Pilots Society version is out today and is a great introduction to the concept. And you can watch it if you're a MaxFun member. maximumfun.org/episodes/dea...

In 2001ish I won tickets to a NYE event with top-shelf open bar and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and TMBG. The Bosstones played first and the sound on their stage was so bad that they got to the chorus of The Impression That I Get before I even realized what song they were playing.

Today's These Those is a great listen for any Friends of DeSoto that have big feelings about a 4-shift rotation.

Aw nuts. @judgejohnhodgman.bsky.social seems to have stopped posting their evidence. I was looking forward to seeing the images they talked about in today's episode. I could scrub through the YT video but A. too much work and B. I don't want to encourage video "podcasts"

My employee appreciation day is at Top Golf this year. I'm not rich enough to pretend that golf is fun. Mini golf is another story and I wish it wasn't even associated with the other kind.

Swan Boy is better than current Achewood. There I said it.

Taskmaster AU S5 is off to a strong start with an excellent first task.

🏝️ Desert Island Disc: "Flood" by They Might Be Giants An easy and obvious pick to start off. https://www.crucialtracks.org/discs/cortjstr/2

This is like one of the worst security vulnerabilities I've ever seen, they hard coded the root password identically in every single mower and the firmware resets it back every single time you update it. It can shows you the wi-fi credentials, address and email of every user. Great piece by Sean.

Ooo, there's a new Big Grande show available, Main Street Sounds of Hamilton. Set in the Teacher’s Lounge town. Their shows are always very good.

@benjaminahr.mobi I got my Founders thank you in my feed but was disappointed it has no art. On MaxFun both main-feed shows almost never had any art at all but the BoCo episodes always had art. I was hoping when you went independent you'd have art for all episodes but now I'm worried it'll be none
