My external SSDs have been going belly up often. I just watched this video that said that the USB-C on Macs suck (paraphrasing here). Now I need to get a Windows system to copy this data to another SSD. Sharing in case anyone else is impacted by this. youtu.be/8l-IYNqRu4I?...

I spent all afternoon failing to download Adobe Creative Cloud thinking it was my router. Only to find out it was AWS all along.

Just got here in time for @torc.dev @renderatl.com lunch 😋 hanging with my buddies @roxaidan.bsky.social @codeovercoffee.bsky.social #renderatl2025 #atltechweek

Finally made it to this @refactr.tech event. Got to see some of my favorite people in these ATL Engineering streets, @kvlly.com and @adriannavaldivia.dev

My kids’ last day of school was yesterday so they are home with us today. First order of business for my son: Fall down the stairs, of course. Note: He’s perfectly fine. Tears. Hugs. And he’s back to asking to play PS5.

You may be reading that last thread and thinking “oh wow. That pot roast must be good. Doug…..share the code.” Yes. It is good. No. I will not. I’m gatekeeping this one, baby. Note how I never mentioned the restaurant's name? Find your own damn pot roast.

Two of my goals this year was to dive into cloud hosting and learn Golang. I’m proud to say I’ve started with GCP and have deployed my first Golang serverless function. Now you may be thinking that this was all inspired by my goals. Oh no my friend. It was fueled by me being a fatass.

Forever #saleslefters 💙

Stepped out to this @refactr.tech event. Great to kick it with @adriannavaldivia.dev for a minute.

Wearing new sneakers to an event and standing the entire time is not the smartest idea. …but they fly tho.

nobody's going to be beat @dthompsondev.bsky.social in a typing speed test

There are only like 7 Christmas songs and they simply remix ‘em with a new singer or update the production.

Up wrapping gifts at the last minute? Anybody? 🙋🏾‍♂️

The most diabolical thing Skittles has done is turning the green apple flavor to lime. Who made that decision?

My daughter took her own braids down and then “styled” it herself. The style is lowkey fire. She’s 6. She’s growing up fast and I’m not ok right now.

I kinda want to get back to making a weekly video about something. It was a little therapeutic to put my ideas and thoughts into video form. And it was fun to make my friends characters in the skits. However it definitely was a time drain.

My kids play the rhyming game during meals. My son loves to replace the first letter with ‘s’. What rhymes with fit? Sit. What rhymes with map? Sap. What rhymes with bug? Sug. What rhymes with British? Shitish. Containing laughter is a must as a parent to prevent shitish from getting out of hand.

While in line at the movies I ask a younger couple (maybe mid-20s) if they were in line. This mafucka says to me “Yes sir. But you can go ahead” SIR?!? Who is the sir, you lil disrespectful shit! Call me bro. Twin. Buddy. Hell, call me mafucka. Anything but sir.

Share the sauce when you get this answer.

I finally completed a “quick task” turned “long ass project” that has been kicking my ass. I wish I could bottle this excitement up and sell it.

I can eat Waffle Crisp ceral all day. I’m glad Post made the right decision and brought it back. I just need it widely available now.

Just realized I have 300 followers. Thank you guys for the follow. I hope to keep it interesting for you.

Cheat code: put on AirPods and bounce the baby to sleep to the beat of T.I. - ASAP

Me: hey babe, my company sent me three Raspberry Pi’s. My wife: Really? O.k… Me: what? Wife: I mean…I never knew you liked raspberry pie.

I will say this, being able to schedule when your car needs to be warm is a top tier luxury amenity. That is one thing I’m definitely gonna miss when I get out of this Tesla.

My daughter (1yo) has this FIRE Halloween themed sweatsuit. It’s December. But…the outfit is cute. But…Christmas. That is the morning’s dilemma.

I want that retro PS5 controller and I don’t even own a PS5. May need to put both on my Christmas list.

Yesterday my wife was playing gospel music and one of them old deacon lead songs came on. I was super into it and then I realized that my age bracket is the new deacons. Jeez, that escalated quick.

There should be a way to pin a starter pack like you can a feed. There are starter packs that I want to follow but I don’t want to follow all the people in the pack.

I’m a child. When I go to restaurants I need to see the pictures of the food so I go to Yelp, Google or IG before I order.

I saw someone post them watching Thor in Japanese with English subtitles making the movie feel like an anime. Now I want to watch the Marvel all like this. I feel like Logan would be fire like this.

Wreck-It Ralph needs a part three. It should be about the end of arcades. All of the characters need to go to the internet like Vanellope. Some are in denial and want to stay. How does Ralph convince them the internet is good and they should leave? Add AI and VR in the mix and you gotta banger.

I want a play car. Something I can modify, break, fix it (read: attempt to fix*) and just have fun in. With what time? Let’s not get into the details, just focus on the dream. * = break even more

Just saw the video that YouTuber, Pat Kay, made stating he is going to be making a short film every day for 365 days. I want to do something like that. Maybe for engineering. I need to sit and consider this for real.

Name a video game you have a 100+ hours of gameplay in.

How you not gonna have Sportin’ Waves on here?!

You OD wild for this one. 😂😂😂

I’m supposed to be out hanging with the fellas. But I’m actually in my phone texting my wife about the upcoming week. I’m officially washed up.

Raise your hand if you took medicine to stop a cough right before family comes over only to realize it was the drowsy stuff. Now folks are coming over and you’re fighting sleep like it’s 3am but it’s only 630pm. 🙋🏾‍♂️

And to my great grandchildren I leave my 38,563 display fonts. - @womenoftype on x

My wife said she needed my help spatchcocking the turkey and I thought she was talking dirty to me.

BIG NEWS! We're putting on a game show, and we need contestants! If you're US-based and think you can handle 🌶️ spicy bites 🌶️ we want you to apply! Details and application here: lwj.dev/leet-heat/ap...

I remember vividly when all these devices hit the market. I even worked at VZW when the Motorola Q came out.

Just realized I have 200 followers. What’s up, fam! Let’s get it!

Goodnight

Had an out of body experience while talking time zones with a coworker this week. I was listening to myself like “Ayeee, you know what you talking about bro! Good shit.” …then I gotta ping that a change I made broke something in production and I came back to reality. 🫨🫨🫨
