[Mariners going in to the bottom of the 9th, winning 8-1] Me (a complete idiot): this will be a nice, chill half-inning of baseball

Don't be bigoted towards me. I'm just an LLM. And it's my birthday. I'm just a little birthday LLM.

This is the cover for my IGNM release - Fold & Fly! 🌈🛫 Syd Weiler did the illustrations for the game, and they totally nailed the vibe I was aiming for! Plus I am always excited to have vibrant colors accompanying my games. Let me know what you think!

Two reactions 1. What the fuck? 2. I _love_ the pettiness of 404 Media. For the link to ApproveShield, they added a `?ref=404media.com` as a query parameter.

This weekend, I made a Cacio e Pepe Corn Chowder and it was very very tasty. Recipe from www.allrecipes.com/cacio-e-pepe...

POV you’re late tomorrow

POV you are a fan of Seattle sports teams

Here's a news clip from the CBC 40-years ago about some fancy innovations such as automated credit card validation, ATM machines, and smart cards. Definitely worth a watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TBD...

It truly, TRULY is always DNS

Quick and Crash at PAX West is going well.

If anyone needs to find me at PAX, this is where I will be.

What am I going to do with all these clown props now?

I was toying with an AI and I asked it to implement AES for me. The full thing. All the steps. And it happily did it with nary a "hey, maybe you shouldn't be doing this" The implementation passes a couple of known responses from NIST, so, uh...at least there's that?

One of the true great pleasures in life of having the last name Schwartz is pretending you've never seen the movie Spaceballs and not believing people when they tell you about it.

I ruined a run in Nightreign because my controller’s batteries died. Sorry random strangers :(

Woof....MATLAB has had a major outage for a week now ... and today, they've confirmed it was a ransomware attack. status.mathworks.com

Oh that's easy ... oh no .... uh .... oh no

I have figured out enough of the CoreGraphics API (and dusted off the Swift cobwebs) to write a CLI tool to iterate my displays, find the two ViewSonic branded ones, and then swap their positions. Now if I boot and the displays are wrong, I can run a CLI command instead of manually fixing it.

No better way to spend my day off than pouring over my monitor's EDID data to resolve an annoying bug that causes my monitors to 'switch positions.' It's some combo of macOS and my monitors. It's either my monitor or macOS's refusal to look at EDID extended data, but some more research is needed.

As evergreen as ever…

Oh, so this is just BROKEN broken.

Truly the first round of the NHL playoffs is me being a hater. I hope the Golden Knights lose. I hope the Avalanche lose. I hope the LA Kings lose. I hope both the Lightning and the Panthers lose. I don’t particularly want the other teams to win…I just want to be a hater.

Celebrating Easter the only way I know how…

My current Blue Prince strategy is not to play the game, but instead shout rooms for @aforgottentune.bsky.social to draft while she shakes her head at me and says no.

Final game of the Seattle Kraken season and it’s the most Seattle Kraken game.

The final hour is upon us. #trivia55 #90fmtrivia

T-minus 15 minutes. Good luck teams! #trivia55

It was DNS.

Because of tariffs, the Shanbar Ritual Toast has been cut to three steps instead of four

I hope they do this entire ceremony every time Ovi breaks his own record. For the rest of the career, we stop the game for 15 minutes, Bettman gives a speech, Ovi gets another commissioned painting, etc.

Success!

c'monnnnn UPS....get my SFP+ Transceivers here before anything weird happens

THE KINECT IS BACK, BABY!

"I'm using mouse controls!'

It is a weird, out-of-body experience to be watching Coffeezilla's latest video and hearing a small interview with a scam victim that has the exact same name as you....

“One COVID test always lies. One COVID test always tells the truth” Took these one right after another yesterday morning (got back from a trip, so standard protocol for me to take one). Took one 12 hours later and negative. And negative today too. And no symptoms, soooo uhhh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Speaking of programming, I finished all 20 puzzles in i18n-puzzles.com -- a collection of puzzles focused around localization. Learned a bunch of neat tricks -- some of which I hope not to have to deal with (like puzzle 19). Thanks to @mpvaniersel.bsky.social for putting them all together!

It's baseball opening day and that means traffic near T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Plugging my site again to let you know if there's a sports game in Seattle you need to know about for traffic purposes (and now also supports concerts at major venues too) isthereaseattlehomegametoday.com

When you can’t watch TV just yet….

I previously posted being worried that the cancellation would result in no recommendations, but it looks like a recommendation for next flu season _did_ happen. www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/h...

I got an email from AWS saying that they are going to reboot an EC2 instance of mine. The problem? I have no idea what that instance does. I logged in to it...still can't figure it out.

Turns out I’m still immune to Measles (since I was born on a cliff where it could have gone either way)

I just finished reading this article that really put to words my biggest annoyance with writing backend JavaScript. It’s a good read — the fact that the author complements Go is just icing on the cake :) journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/w...

Very cool. Very very cool. Can only assume we’re not getting updated Covid vaccines either. (Gift link courtesy of the Seattle Public Library) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

The wind in Seattle tonight is no joke. Sitting without power and saw some wild flashes when it happened.
