Took my mom out to Andiamo's in Bellevue for her 50th wedding anniversary. What a fun restaurant.

Uninstalled TikTok. The 5% of good content is not worth the brain rot.

Anyone find a download of the banned 60 Minutes episode?

I have a unique bug on my personal homepage. The page resembles a text editor so as a feature I let people "edit" the HTML of the page. Changes get "saved" in local storage so even if they reload, the changes persist. This also means if I update my page, past visitors won't see them.

Today I failed miserably while opening a bag of dried mangos and destroyed the bag. I look over at my wife and say, "I totally mangled the bag. Oh wait... I *mangoed* it."

Something died in me this year. The worst part is that I can't even explain why. It's like Andy is gone and all that's left is some middle-aged guy who might have some stuff going for him, but also nothing that might seemingly bring me back. Anyone experience the same?

Wait, Spotify doesn't have a first party MCP server?

I grab used external hard drives at thrift stores any time I see them and grabbed one a few days ago. It belonged to a previous Chief of the Yakima fire department. Lots of cool training material and simulation research, project reports and other internal memos.

Apparently Slack has a Spotify Wrapped feature and my persona is "Knowledge Bank".

I have my charge limit set to 90% yet my phone charged to 100% last night. iOS 26 bug?

There are so many snake oil salesmen in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem. The only reason I can even begin to attribute it to is that people have NO idea what the fuck they are talking about.

Sometimes I cook a $60 ribeye and chop it up and put it into my 60¢ beef Top Ramen.

This image is my archenemy. I used to see it 10 times a day on the other site.

Oh man sometimes I take this one multivitamin and if I have an empty stomach, after 20 minutes when its casing dissolves in my stomach I go from 0 to wretching in 1 second flat. I have to run upstairs and chug a glass of water.

Today at Target I saw two ~14yo broccoli-headed boys go zipping down the back aisle on their scooters, multiple times. I mentioned it to a worker and he immediately called security. Imagine if they crashed into an elderly person or something.

Is my tech content sense of humor broken? Hurr durr I made a humorous video about how I really wanted to use "any" in TypeScript so I did please like and subscribe!

Waitress today at lunch, "so you watching the game tonight?" Me: "Uhh, what game?" W: "The Seahawks!" Me: "Uhh... no"

Do they make a bumper sticker for non-new drivers so other drivers can know you'll drive competently, predictably, and not 10mph below the speed limit?

What's it called when you navigate to some library code or type definitions in a typescript project in vs code and then the ts compiler shits the bed and you have to restart it? 20 times today I had to do this...

Day [18] ✅ One bug less! The Yeti's holiday party is almost ready at DebugDecember.com #DebugDecember

TIL that Stephen Wilson Jr is married to Leigh Nash, the lead singer of Sixpence None the Richer.

Used Redis for the first time today. Well that was easy.

I hate how TikTok videos have really ruined M83's "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" album for me.

Why is a flat soda literally the most disgusting thing in the world? Even if it's a fresh soda; if it's flat it gets dumped out.

I was passenger princess for about a 1.5hr drive home yesterday. The number of drivers I saw literally scrolling TikTok or watching movies on their phone was insane. No wonder there are so many fatalities on highway 18.

Watched Cena's last match tonight. Felt like a poorly written season finale. He'll be back. It was too underwhelming to be the end.

We need to bring malls back.

Just hit 100K miles for the first time in a car. Probably would have been a lot sooner except it hardly got driven during the pandemic.

The release notes for Webkit 26.2 mention that CHIPS was removed in Safari 18.5 and just now added back. I totally missed this. I assumed Safari had partitioned cookie support since 18.4. Did anyone else miss that?!

"upsert" is just "upset" + "shart"

I'm gonna be pretty mad if the chronic chest pain I've had over the past 16 months has just been referred from TMJ.

Caught up on IT: Welcome to Derry. Going back and rewatching it again now that I "get it".

Had an appointment with ENT today. Doc is pretty confident I have stress-induced TMJ. How do you destress from a stressful job without losing productivity? 🫠

Wrote some GitHub actions today that with every new project release, automatically generate Node.js single executable applications for both Linux and Windows, and upload them to the release. Neat!

How did I not know that the bridge in "Pepper" by Butthole Surfers is just the chorus but the vocal track is played backwards?

This week's lethal operation mission in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor was the most intense, difficult thing I've seen in my 700 hours of gameplay. Probably took me 20 attempts. 😅

I've saved so much money by having the same low-limit credit card I've had since college and essentially no access to cash because I'm too lazy to activate my debit card... or know where my debit card is...

Even though I've never listened to Country music once... Spotify DJ be like: Here's some Country music I think you might enjoy that makes Spotify more money than had we played music you'd actually enjoy.

Writing enterprise software for so long has made me pretty bad at leetcode-style questions. At least one pays a bit better than the other.

Caught up on Advent of Code after a busy work week. Now time to catch up on Debug December which I completely forgot about.

Bought some silent mechanical keycaps. Lately I've had this bizarre low, rumbling tinnitus but only when I'm typing on my keyboard. Hoping the quieter caps will help. Got my son a Keychron Q3 For Xmas too.
