We're doing y2k on purpose

Done with work for the week and I'm happy to report nothing exploded and we made a lot of progress. Next one of these should be exciting. Anyway two and a half days in Italy time for some spritz.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

I wanted to be more of a world traveler than I am, but I'm expecting to pack for two weeks in Europe in a few hours this afternoon so I can't be doing that bad.

Yesterday's zen included turtles on the Blackstone Canal.

Tonight's fun thing is Boston Legacy vs. Seattle Reign at Centerville Bank Stadium. This crowd is hyped up and I'm here for it. The supporters section is doing great too. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Tonight's fun thing is Measure for Measure at the Burbage Theatre Co.

Tonight's fun thing: it's @themountaingoats.bsky.social again! This time at House of Blues in Boston. 😄

Today's calm is brought to you by none other than the Appalachian Trail near Hamiltonban, PA. I do try to make an attempt to hike the AT when we are nearby and this stretch was really great.

Today's fun thing is: The Mountain Goats in New Haven on our way home from last week's trip.

Spending a couple days of vacation this week both because it's our annual train people convention and also otherwise I'd lose vacation during busy time that we expect in the rest of the month. Anyway I'm alternating hanging out in the room and playing games and going out to hear about trains.

You can do it. Let's go.

Marie says this is the Kei truck of trains

Today's calm is from Breakheart Pond in Arcadia management area.

Silversun Pickups says Trans Rights

Today's fun thing (out of the house) is Silversun Pickups at The Strand. First up: Giant Waste of Man opening.

Tonight's fun thing is Ani DiFranco at The Vets! We've seen lots more shows in the state this year than we used to.

Have you seen Laddie Marmalade lately?

Tonight's fun thing (and the reason we stayed an extra night) is The Black Keys in Columbus!

Oh I see, now that you're writing it for AI bots you are interested in writing documentation for how to integrate and build your software. Where was this energy for interns and juniors hmm?

Name your Top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only. The Good Place The Prisoner Ted Lasso Sports Night Poker Face Neverwhere The Wire Star Trek: DS9 Stumptown Juuni Kokuki (i.e. Twelve Kingdoms) Cowboy Bebop The Expanse Over the Garden Wall Jeopardy The West Wing

I cannot tell you how much more excited I am about Gay Storm now that I know that Sanctum of All is the team that is playing it. Will be watching excitedly! #PTSOS

If you haven't traveled in an open gangway train it seriously feels so different than what we're used to in the US. The future.

it’s not even close (this is from 1985)

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode activated.

Gov McKee's idea (& budget) to delay moving from gas to solar, wind & battery storage is the worst idea to lower energy cost/rates for RI. This report shows that not only the world but also most of the US is moving towards renewables b/c they are less expensive than gas, oil & coal.

Wishing a happy off-road vehicle day out to this person and this person only.

Article to podcast, PDF to podcast, these are bad. Make something I want: turn video and audio-only content into something I can READ. I don't need a way to make content less accessible and slower and less searchable.

Today's fun thing is in another state: RIFC visits Hartford in the El Clamico Cup!

Last night's draft deck. First Strixhaven draft in person and I went 2-0-1 in three rounds. The mill wizard is just wild in draft when the decks are so small. I won by mill half of my games.

My wife, everyone.

Tonight’s fun thing: “The Cripple of Inishmaan” at the Gamm Theatre in Warwick!

Tonight's fun is Rhode Island FC vs. Charleston Battery!

Tonight's fun happens in Boston again: it's at the garden. First up is Sofia Isella.

Tonight's fun is at Roadrunner. First up: Florence Road!

Last night's fun: Secrets of Strixhaven prerelease at my LGS which is my favorite store ever. The place was packed. I had a decent pool and went 2-1. Got to cast Demonic Tutor a couple times which just feels wild.

Anyway let's look half decent for a touring show.

Tonight's fun thing is The Outsiders (the musical) on tour at PPAC. The second show in our tour season this year that is also still on Broadway. One of a number of books that it felt like everyone read in high school. Neither of my housemates have any exposure to it.

Tonight's fun thing is RIFC vs. the NE Revolution in the US Open round of 32. We're making an.. okay showing so far. If anything is #WickedGoodSoccer, this is. 😅

CIlantro doesn't taste good and should need to be asked for.

I had a birthday weekend, and tried with slightly more success than last time to make my platonic ideal cake. Happy birthday to me. #MarieBakes

The amount of times I thought "oh I'll take the bus" then realized it would add multiple hours to my trip in the urban core of the smallest state is ridiculous. We need to fund RIPTA better.

"If you were in charge of star trek, what would you do?" One of two things: Political intrigue between First Contact and Enterprise - Completely on Earth with technology advancing super quick. Think For All Mankind but with trek? (has been explained already? i'd like it) - or - Just More DS9

Tonight's got some fun after we had a pretty normal week otherwise: Two Feet at the Strand. But first, brothel who is some serious vibing and has a good lighting setup.

Just Bluetooth Sourceress things

I got reminded that I used to take waaaaaay more selfies so you may be subjected to outfit pictures slightly more. Still working on seeing myself again but here you go.

#OnThisDay Apr 6 1935: In the most competitive rail corridor in the United States, the CB&Q Railroad makes a test run of its new Twin Cities Zephyr streamlined trainset, travelling between St Paul and Chicago in 5 hours 31 minutes at speeds up to 104 mph.

SMH this is exactly what I'm trying to prevent
