Dogsitting. What a joy.

Coffee, book, chill music.

Read. You might save a life.

To add insult to injury, there's this gem at the very end: "This article is reprinted from Mario Vittone’s blog." mariovittone.com/2010/05/154/

Ian Curtis. Mount Saint Helens. 46 years ago today.

Ruh Roh.

Nice to listen to some Hefner this evening. Still sounds good @darrenhayman.bsky.social

Upgraded Azure VM from v5 to v6 hardware. NVMe seems to have boosted perf by 30%.

Truly a horror show here. It's always raining. Don't move here. #seattle

Nice piece of Camera Obscura, shipped by @monorailmusic.bsky.social just got delivered. Glasgow to near Seattle in less than a week.

Kippers and Flag Shaggers.

I am very saddened that Denby Pottery couldn't be saved and is closing for good.

Back in the long ago times I shared a house with a perennial Green Party local council candidate. I think he'd be thrilled with what @zackpolanski.bsky.social is doing with the grassroots movement.

Funded @11ty.dev - so looking forward to that. Time to move from WordPress to a bunch of static HTML.

CapHill for the afternoon. Light rail over the lake was a breeze, busy, Eastside peeps excited! Sun is out, time for some late lunch and maybe books or vinyl. Blue sky. Warm. Truly dreadful. Don't move here. #seattle #spring

What a perfect spring evening in the Quah. Walk to dinner, see some ducks, some great food,walk home. #issaquah

Just read the sad news that Andy Kershaw died late last week. A big part of my musical learning. Sadly missed.

Is that enough to stay up?

Power Out in the Quah.

Dipping back into some MG Boulter this morning. Matt is a treasure.

Draw at Villa Spurs lost Might be enough.

NYT games is borked. Someone's going to lose their Wordle streak and sue for $10M.

Today I made red lentil and tomato soup. There is also a tomato and basil pasta sauce reducing away. #sundaykitchen

I'm absolutely fine with West Ham and Leeds battering each other and running themselves into the ground. Makes for an interesting run in for relegation. #youreds

This has the same impact as the Pale Blue Dot.

This is sad news. Denby Pottery going into administration. www.denbypottery.com/pages/save-d... #savedenby

The great Pacific Northwest nailed the assignment (1/2) Seattle

Sound Transit 2 Line opened, and it was awesome. Mariners fans going to the game, folk returning from No Kings, folk just having a ride. #soundtransit

Don Letts playing a monster Greg Dread mix of The Bottom Line, which seems to be unreleased and called "Overture 40". What a treat.

Made my morning.

If @SoundersFC win in Spokane, do we still get Jingle Bells?

Proud of @WeAreECS for standing up to Concacaf and their tomfoolery.

@ricardoautobahn.co.uk The boy is teaching his friends about numbers stations using Cuban Boys source material..

Sent a mail to the board of REI "Make me fall back in love with REI"..

I called my elected reps again.

Never tire of this.

Snow service has resumed in the Quah. Power is on, which is a relief. #issaquah #wawx

Power back on in the Quah.

Power out in the Quah. Hopefully not a long outage. #pse #winterstorm #issaquah #wawx

Woo and Yay. Masters in Management and Leadership is done.

Fun things.

F1 on Apple TV - Phew - I can choose the Sky commentary.

FP1 was better than expected.

Ordered the new Heavenly, expecting the usual shipping delays. Instead it's here in moments from Portland. Well that's a win. Gig in June too. @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social

Listening to 1988 era House of Love.
