i sure would like to be teleported to a waffle house right now. i wonder if they could teleport me a short stack with a little boysenberry syrup on the side.

jeepers, ellen burstyn has been in show biz a long time. watching "gunsmoke" and she stole every scene she was in. also, i did not realize that was dennis weaver! i met dennis weaver once when i was in 6th grade. i was watching my parent's (dad & stepmom) studio (they were artists). he came in […]

"(Wolfsburg) connecting passes like they haven't all night."

seeing my code after a few merges:

if your management only rewards firefighting you will soon find your organization is nothing but firefighters and they will create plenty of fires to keep themselves occupied.

I do like Chicago's kit. Thorns' looked better in person.

my wife sings along entirely too enthusiastically to "cell block tango" when we listen to *chicago*.

Mel puts in the work. Always impressed with this young woman. And long after the game she is usually the last player out signing autographs. #NWSL #makewaves

Our first of the year. A little guy.

as soon as i retire i'm going to block any incoming messages with the word `git` in it.

I went to a tom petty / bob dylan concert in Dallas in the mid 80s. Petty did great but Dylan completely sucked. A while later my dad gave me Dylan’s biography and I wasn’t eager to read it. But it was interesting and he admitted he sucked ass on that tour. The drive to/from made it worth the […]

Are there other types of swoop than fell? Maybe a stumbled swoop? A misstepped swoop? One tripped swoop?

Happy Chemtrail Day to all those who celebrate.

what the actual fuck?! current headline of ny times. if there's one thing jesus is totally onboard with it's death, destruction, terror, and generally fucking up arabs. nothing says christian charity like blowing up a school.

starting now until monday i'm going to do all my maths with the numbers in reverse order. that means "one hundred twenty three plus forty" will be done like: `321+04 = 361` i can't explain why. i woke up this morning wondering why we had most significant on the left. is there a reason or just […]

sweet! #NWSL #makewaves https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/48224025/cat-macario-record-nwsl-deal-san-diego-wave

yeah, that ref did us dirty. turned a corner kick into a goalie kick which led to a goal in the last few seconds of the half. suck.

New seats for 2026. That is Alex Morgan in the box. #NWSL #makewaves

i tell my younger coworkers that before `git` we used CVS: CD Versioning System. for a commit you burned a CD. a merge meant bringing the CD to your coworker's office so they could copy your new code. you could tell how good a programmer was by the number of boxes of CDs in their office. since […]

my `.aliases` file is older than many of my coworkers. #greybeard

when our dog was a pup my wife showed her how to open the front door by pushing down on the handle. luckily she's forgotten how that works but now when she wants in she jumps up, all four legs, to about the height of the handle and scratches the door above the handle. it's amusing but our really […]

i typod `chroot` as `chroom` and i think i like that more. new alias....

always happy to have the manufactured hype team lose and the manufactured hype player to be flat. like, there's plenty of real drama going on - talk about that for pete's sake.

what kind of nonsense is "they have the ability to win trophies this year?" it's literally the first game of the season - calm down. and they are losing.

i'm old enough to remember when timezone changes, and worse, changes to timezone rules, meant all sysadmins were on call. it used to be a big deal.

i thought bazooka was a silly name for a weapon and there must be a story behind it. i was not disappointed. via wikipedia i ended up here. i have thought about how to do this with my vuvuzelas but the diameter of the pipe increases gradually from end to end so it would work […]

New pins for the 2026 season. #NWSL #makewaves

stood behind a dude today that went on and on to people that obviously didn't care but were too polite to tell him to stfu about how bad coffee was because it contained caffeine and caffeine was a chemical. he was you should drink some other stuff because it was made from green tea, mate (the […]

huh... been using `brew` as a macos package manager for years and just this morning realized i've been using the wrong version. it's been installing x86 software on my arm host. i had caught hints of this in the past when `uv` kept installing x86 packages but didn't realize that the root cause […]

i watched the led zeppelin documentary on netflix the other night with my wife. neither of us were or are fans (though we do like plant and krause together) but we liked the movie just fine. one scene that brought back memories was the background of one of the concerts where they had overhead […]

of course girma and sheridan are chatting and laughing on the way out of the tunnel onto the field. #USWNT #shebelievescup

i'm old enough to remember when USAF ROTC cadets and airmen were told not to bomb schools and other non-military targets.

our cat loses his mind if my wife is at home but not in the same room as him. if she's inside it means she can't close doors and if she goes outside i have to listen to "MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!" until she comes back in. and the volume goes to 11 if it's near dinnertime ("near" means within the […]

my pride and joy. this joke is so old.... when i was a cashier in college a customer was chatting and said "wanna see a picture of my pride & joy?" as he was taking out his wallet. he flips through a couple of pictures and gets to this and just about falls over laughing.

fox news on brand with the quotes around "racist." can't offend their core audience.

three letter clue for "alternative for a walk" and "nap" doesn't work.

i work from home and do most of the weeknight cooking. my wife works crazy hours so never know when she's going to be home. we have a big green egg grill and their little thermostat. i've learned i can use the bbq as a slow cooker. like yesterday at about 1:00 i started the grill and at 2:00 i […]

#NWSL 2026 kits. some hits, some not so much. https://www.si.com/soccer/ranking-the-2026-nwsl-kits-which-jerseys-rise-to-the-top

sure allison...

1/12. this is the largest ratio i've had yet playing nyt connections. the smallest, iirc, was 1/1,000,000.

my wife grew up in the desert. their school never liked playing at trona because they didn't have any grass on their fields. and the town really smells bad. she wasn't happy when i named one of our dogs trona, but she was a good girl. a chocolate lab who adored sticks.

Nobody is quiet on the western front. #booksforextroverts #hashtaggames

the ratio of times my wife has called me a dumb son-of-a-bitch versus the times i deserved to be called a dumb son-of-a-bitch is impressive. i think she grades on a curve.
