I get the feeling people have been driving their vehicles into this…

Just another Friday... thanks @filmgirl.bsky.social for a playlist I turn to far too often.

Foreground: park built by a local billionaire after the city let it deteriorate Background: different billionaire yacht just chilling

Reading comprehension isn’t for everyone. If only there was a skills test.

At-grade transit was a mistake.

Fiddlehead ferns are only $29.99 a pound at this store! We got them at a very different price in the market. Love the variety, even if it’s all through Charlie’s potentially.

This Zuckerberg yacht is ridiculous

The rumors of Vegas being dead seem exaggerated. Other half is at BTS. Very busy, especially all the high end hotels and restaurants. Casinos are quiet.

The “original” Starbucks in the market is closed. Wonder if it’s the continued union-busting or what.

Good cooking.

Great cycle this morning: Seattle-Issaquah-Renton, plus a troll, “allergy snow”, and more.

Exploring pre-World Cup Seattle

Took one of the super new Like scooters in Seattle. Love it - detects and deters sidewalk riding.

Seattle. Ballard bridge.

Much like Paul Atreides, Dune is something you have to love to hate. Yes, this is a sub-skeet about sandworms, accompanied by the Dune Part 2 soundtrack.

Moody clouds today

Illegal in Seattle: hundreds of thousands of plastic straws

New trend we are seeing... restaurants using promotional email marketing platforms, "we haven't seen you in a while! here's what's new"

Busy market day.

Lovely wildflowers alongside the Burke. Went for a ride up to Mill Creek then over to the Eastside. Learned that while the Bothell-Everett Highway technically has a bike lane, it’s very Florida-stroad style.

HBO had Alien 3 Assembly Cut, Alien Resurrection... and wow, forgot how bad these are... in hindsight, Prometheus was so good for getting things back on track.

If it looks like spring & was at Frank’s Produce / Pike Place Market today, I put it in this dish

Work memories from another era.

Somewhere out there is the ultimate A/B test: a parallel universe where every company did not throw out their backlog, strategy, plans, way of working, and dreams for GPUs.

Green things: La Croix lime Asparagus Corn Jeff’s Garden Capers

Shorewood Drive SW is a beast. Explored some new roads in Burien. Nice day for a hilly ride. Also saw some jets and a troll.

Lovely wildflowers in Seattle.

"Don’t worry. We’re prepared. We’ve been hoarding oil in underground salt caverns for exactly this kind of unpredictable situation: where we flagrantly start a war with the world’s fifth-largest oil producer, which controls access to 20 percent of global supply."

Pichet. 🥖 🍸 🥩 🌞

Bellevue is friendly to cyclists. </joke>

If the recent Star Wars trilogy shipped today, we’d 100% accuse it of slop: sycophantic + committee-driven.

RTO has reconfigured Fridays... Before: no meeting day; day of extreme focus on tasks; plethora of pull requests; writing time. After: appointments, car service, limited writing, limited focus.

Such a great episode of Hacks!

Great Pike Place Market day.

@seattle.carinbikelane.com rough ride up Western Ave today around Union

@seattle.carinbikelane.com lots of activity today on Western Ave

Dialed in some new cycling shoes this afternoon 👟 plus checked out Melinda’s new waterfront bike path

"This was an entirely unforeseeable usage of the tombstone functionality of Oregon Trail. If anything, our zeal for the social sharing of sensitive medical information was way ahead of its time."

Mushroom bisque yes please

An internal team just adopted tsgo (soon TypeScript 7) and told us they were able to shave off about 400 hours a month of waiting on CI builds. npmx.dev/package/@typ...

New in Belltown: “AI Nails” … so many questions.

Element Cycles + Copilot!

The Arby’s in Overlake reminds me of the house in Ballard with condos built around it.

Everyone's enjoying their 486 stories today. Loved our 486 DX2-66Mhz from Gateway 2000!

Decided I should start doing some of my own bicycle grease work. So far, it's only cost about $700 in tools, parts, a nice stand, and more, and I've replaced a brake pad. So only down $650 compared to the shop rate. It's a start...

3G

Kind of amazing how brute-force so much "modern" engineering has been and yet nobody noticed until the explosion of LLM-generated issues, PRs, builds...

Let’s go blue!

Ok

Steamy 🌋
