Watching Major League tonight in memory of Bob Uecker.

Has everyone watched Die Hard already this holiday season?

And with today's TrueNAS update everything is back to working as it should, with NVIDIA passthrough and all. #truenas

Well, I wasn't planning on updating the TrueNAS server tonight, yet here we are. #truenas

There were a couple of unique and very interesting displays at the Pacific Bonsai Expo in Oakland this year. #bonsai #pbe2024

This was another fabulous display at the Pacific Bonsai Expo in Oakland October. #bonsai #oakland #pbe2024

I've really been enjoying the Microsoft Fluent UI #Blazor library. Thanks to @baaijte.net and everyone who has contributed!

Today a colleague shared in an all hands meeting that they have a favorite owl. Everyone needs a favorite owl.

Naming things is hard. I've got a fun little side project I'm working on but I can't come up with a name (and domain name) for it.

Also curious about this.

I really enjoyed this Japanese White Pine at the Pacific Bonsai Expo. #bonsai #jwp #oakland #pbe2024

So naturally over the course of the thanksgiving dinner the conversation drifted into scary/gory movies. Human Centipede came up, as it does, and my mother said she might like to watch it. I'm done.

The kiddo is currently learning JavaScript in school.

It's hard enough being productive on a Monday, but a Monday after an extended amount of time away? And it's snowing?!?!1

I'm not a fan of Jira in general, but I must say their API documentation is quite good.

I'm still confused why Waste Management sent me a questionnaire asking how likely I would be to recommend them to a friend. Really? Is that what you think people talk about?

I don't remember if this one was a Western or Sierra Juniper. Either way, a great tree shown well. #bonsai #pbe2024 #oakland

I'm off to Thanksgiving 2: the revenge. Ooh, Thanksgiving 2: back in the habit?

Congratulations to all the new Microsoft MVPs! #mvpbuzz

It looks like we got a decent little snow overnight.

I really liked this Ponderosa from Todd Schlafer. It was amazing. #bonsai #ponderosa #oakland #pbe2024

Ok, now I want to put together a project to help people come up with project ideas and vet them out a bit. Thoughts?

I've always thought of myself as an implementation person. I can build other people's ideas. I often struggle to come up with my own things to build. How does one work on developing that "idea" muscle?

Playing around with the Bluesky API and FishyFlip - a .NET ATProtocol/Bluesky Library. Really neat stuff. Nice work @drasticactions.dev! I'm trying to come up with something useful that hasn't been solved yet. Open to ideas.

This pine was awesome. The Pacific Bonsai Expo. #bonsai #oakland #pbe2024

Is anyone breaking out the RetroPie after dinner? What's your favorite retro game?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy this time with your family. What's that? Sure, I'll take a look at your printer.

I think it was 4th grade that the elementary school got some Apple IIe computers. We learned to print out our names to the screen.

My first experience with a computer was when my mother brought home an IBM Luggable from her office to do some work. Does anyone else remember those things?

I'm passing on asking chatGPT to roast me. I would like to think that chatGPT and I are friends. After all, it was chatGPT that put a Porsche in my office.

Jeremiah's Redwood and unique stand at the Pacific Bonsai Expo in Oakland. #bonsai #redwood #pde2024 #oakland

Remember, when you're with your family for the holidays these eight magical words: "I'm sorry I don't know anything about printers."

I really liked this Ponderosa, and the stand at the recent Pacific Bonsai Expo. #ponderosa #bonsai #pbe2024 #oakland

I spent some time today with the latest and greatest .NET Aspire in .NET 9. Really neat stuff. I created a .NET Project Template for easily spinning up a Blazor App, a .NET Api, and a SQL Server instance with data for pagination examples. #dotnet #aspire #buildinpublic github.com/ovation22/As...

Ok, I'm finally going to play around with .NET Aspire. I tried it while it was a pre-release, but didn't spend enough time with it. So, what better time than now!??!? Wish me luck #dotnet9 #aspire #dotnetaspire

Good morning folks, what are we working on today?

I remember getting to work on this one years ago. It was nice to see it doing so well at the Pacific Bonsai Expo. #bonsai #pbe2024 #oakland
