Life hack: don't pick up your leaves. Just blow them into the bike lane.

When I was an undergrad I discovered I could sleep in class if I just put on some sunglasses. I tried this as teacher and it doesn't work as well.

My wife's interest in anything free vs. my intolerance for standing in a queue.

Today's near-death encounter was a vehicle ignoring the NO RIGHT TURN signal phase.

Bak kut teh spell-checked to "Naruto" 👍

Remember when 45% of the total volume of a laptop was reserved for an optical drive?

Flexible shoulders can really help with BJJ. For example, when shaving your back.

I think 50% of bjj is just... washing things.

If I earned a nickel every time Spotify did something shitty, I’d finally be making real streaming money.

LOL to anyone who believes any signal will slow down drivers executing a right-hand turn in MA. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

I asked AI why my electric bill was going up, and apparently there are a lot of factors. It could be seasonal changes to vampire loads in my house. Anything, really. Difficult to pin down to any specific thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Over a decade teaching and I finally have a student from Iowa.

This is one reason why AI is a bubble: all this money is flowing around in a circle. It is a mirage.

I don't understand why AI people keep insisting, "if we can't steal your work, our industry will die" as if this were a compelling argument. It reveals the very rotten core of your soul if you don't understand how foolish this makes you look.

Did you know you can make steel cut oats in your rice cooker using porridge mode? Did you also know you can substitute water for apple cider?

Boards of Canada's Olsen performed on a PDP-1. Holy shit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wubk...

Sir, we've identified the problem. You're trying to sleep standing up.

Not to nitpick, but I'm pretty sure that's not how cats wear headphones.

My students, who are required to laugh at my jokes, think I am very funny.

This is a Tascam 688 8-track. I did not own one of these, but I lived with someone who did. I used it every chance I could. It sounded terrible. I loved it.

This is a Fostex X-15 4-track. I did not own one of these, but I lived with someone who did. I used it every chance I could. It sounded terrible. I loved it.

Am I a bad person because I fully expected this Lego set to be fully playable?

I need a pizza rack I can snap onto my rear wheel rack.

The two places I commute to the most (school&gym) have some portion of the route on a cycle track (I'm not sure brattle qualifies, but there are concrete barriers) and at this time of the year in boston, the commute is really relaxing.

Whoever stood up and insisted the TR-1000 have a headphone jack on the front left with a dedicated hardware volume control. 🫡

If you are even _remotely_ considering spending more than $2000 on a drum machine, we probably already know each other and are friends.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm not eating a cookie.

Some guys haven't been involuntary choked unconscious by a 115-pound blue belt and it shows.

I was not built to be a 24/7 anxiety machine. I was built to tend to a flock of sheep, daydream and play a flute to the trees.

Today's headlines: the only safe pain medication to use during pregnancy causes autism. Tomorrow's headlines: Why don't more women want to have children?

Intellijel: The Quadrax does literally everything! Me: Can I modulate the rise segment? Intellijel: You can do that. Me: It's easy, right? Intellijel: I said you could do that.

If you send me a picture of a Lego set, synthesizer, pizza or baked good, I already know you are just looking for someone to validate/enable your bad decision.

OMG NFL Today is doing a 70's throwback with costumes, makeup, set, on screen graphics, music and I legit thought I was having a stroke.

I'm going to change it up and teach the rest of my classes today with my pants zipper up.

My amazon packages started getting delivered to my neighbor's house recently. After some head scratching it seems google maps recently went through a normalization and they transposed my house and my neighbor's house.

meta raybans Remember when we used to put random tech into a blender? We need to bring that back.

*doing math* That can't be correct. According to my calculations, that would make me.... *more math* OLD

“The city continues to have serious reservations about the reliability, maintenance burdens, installation challenges, and cost of automatic bollards,” McKenna wrote in her Sept. 11 statement. www.boston.com/news/local-n... @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social

Spoon too no.

Coming back after sabbatical, the primary difference is I need glasses.

Congrats to Seth Rogan. I feel the Emmys were deserved, especially the director's Emmy for the Oner, a one-shot about a one-shot that was arguably as impressive as Adolescence, with the added difficulty of the end of the episode coinciding with the precise location of the sun.

"A bagel is equivalent to six slices of bread..." I love bread. A bagel is just a way to get more bread into my body faster.

Thinking back to when Toran Mallow literally carried Bayta through the entire episode. #foundation

Thank god. If they made this chocolate at any other frequency I don't know what I would do

Engagement can bridge disagreement, but only if the engagement is in good faith.

'AI' is a hype bubble and it is over. First of all, it isn't AI. It isn't going to get any better. It also won't lead to AGI or superintelligence.

Blockchain NFTs Metaverse AI ... what will we set piles of money on fire for next?

Good morning to everyone except my neighbor who remote starts her car outside my window every day at 5:45 and lets it idle for 20 minutes.

Hey, what if we had one set of laws that were applied equally to everyone?
