If cats ever figure out how to catch light, we are so screwed.

Owning a house is the best. 🫠

Long one today. Ramping up for a marathon in November. Found a friend in the middle of the path 🐸 and I shooed them to the side.

POV: you love your daughter at least 39lbs of pumpkin much

Seriously the absolute best thing I got this year was an espresso machine

Tonight it's Old Man Gloom - Seminar III One track: Zozobra

I feel terrible asking this, but my debit card got stolen and I don’t currently have the funds in my account to cover some upcoming payments while I sort the dispute out with the bank. If anyone could help spot me, I would really appreciate that! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater

The sun fuels my beard.

In TYOUL 2026, I have purchased an honest to god portable CD player.

Client: we love what you did! Also client: now can you just make it shorter, change the graphics, and redo everything? Me: yes, yes I can 😭

I have a reminder on my calendar that says "Did the AI bubble pop yet?" Well did it? #ai

Sometimes a sponge falls in a sink. Sometimes it lands on the drain. Sometimes your washing machine uses that sink. And sometimes your laundry room floods. 😞

Overall a disappointing and lackluster #VMA. Snoop was phoning it in, everything skewed heavily Gen-X, and there were barely any top tier artists there. MTV seems to be accelerating their slide into irrelevance.

Ducking wut? Of course, it is the VMAs after all. Congratulations to Taylor for making the most out of the least. #VMA

Well, now I just want some ice cream 🍦#VMA

Sorry sombr you're no George Michael. Thank goodness Raye and Adam Lambert were there. #VMA

So um, does MTV know something about Madonna that we don't? They're giving her all the flowers 🌸 #VMA

I guess since MTV knew Taylor wasn't gonna win any regular awards this year, they might as well make one up.

Madonna has now won two VMAs. I guess that's better than Taylor Swift?

Here I am, watching the VMAs in this the year of our Lord 2026.

Open the gates! ⛈️🌧️ #trailrunning #runsky

Chat, does Phil Collins low-key slap?

Reverse rainbow 🌈 three days running 🎉

Pink lady apples.

I'm starting to think that maybe Jabra doesn't make very durable earbuds... *SIGH*

Alcest lives up to the hype.

Bought an espresso maker after our trip to Italy. Hands down one of the best purchases of the year.

Gonna see Deafheaven and Alcest tomorrow. So dope 😎

My wife and I often refer to fitting everything in the refrigerator as fridge jenga. Technically it should be fridge Tetris, but I always mess it up. Weird.

Boy that guy from The New Radicals really called it with Marilyn Manson.

I did not have "Macklemore becomes relevant" on my 2026 bingo card.

I have an event on my calendar for October 1st called "Did the AI bubble pop?" I don't remember when or why I added this.

Basically everything about running open weight models is a slog. Projects are out of date, versions are incompatible, and the docs are... well they aren't great. Feels like everything is moving too fast to be stable and we're all tao dancing on quicksand.

Okay everyone. You can calm down. The dishwasher has been fixed.

OMG what a business opportunity. Can't wait to get my 30%

Clearly I've been listening to too much DCC. Every time someone writes in all caps, I can't help but hear it in the voice of Princess Donut. 👑🙀

Feeling cute. Might delete later.

I do recommend getting the flu and COVID shot 💉. I do not recommend planning to do anything else the next day.

Is it done? Yes. Is it done done? No.

Dishwasher is broken. Guess we're just throwing everything out and eating off the floor.

Razor Scooters - "Fuck your shins."

Cardboard spools for filament are trash. That is all.

Eight hours of PowerPoint slide making today. I earned the shit out of this Ben & Jerry's.

Today's adventure was in using llama.cpp to save a trained model as a GGUF file and then quantize it. Turns out using transformers v5 to train led to compatibility issues with the scripts in the llama.cpp repo. Gotta love the cutting edge.

I know intellectually that Nvidia GPUs have better software support and a more mature ecosystem. But watching a five year old 3090 beat out an AMD card from last year by a sizeable margin? There's knowing and experiencing. Just wild.
