Whew. @folha.com:

This was super cool and as a big Tetris fan I'm bummed I didn't get it.

The chat's already in the house! The tyres have been kicked, the fires have been lit! The only thing we're missing is YOU! Desert Bus starts in 30 minutes! Get in here! desertbus.org

so this is a separate critical issue from the certificate critical issue i mean what the

Check on the sysadmins in your family for the next couple of days. Bring a bottle of their choice of drinks.

I've been sick all day and I woke up from a dream with "A Millennial in King AI's court" in my head.

A rare chill Duke with me on the couch. https://www.trickjarrett.com/wp-content/uploads/glowbug/5261b143b8f5ab758f814cc9e516711f744cc7f2.jpg

I've really been enjoying Combolands. I am still far from good at the game and this is the first game I feel like I really unlocked the Industrial strategy.

Amazing footage - and what beautiful framing!

I want a relationship podcast based around the chaotic batshit relationships exhibited on The Diplomat.

Step 1: Open your preferred text messaging app. Step 2: Scroll until you see someone you genuinely love, but maybe haven’t talked to for a while. Maybe it’s been couple weeks, months, of even years. Step 3: Text them, and see how they’re doing.

I finished Mary Robinette Kowal's "The Calculating Stars" last night and wrote up a review this morning: www.trickjarrett.com/the_calculat...

I added a addon to Firefox: Super Back. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo... Clicking the button or hitting Alt + Shift + left arrow, and it takes you to the most recent page on a different domain in your history. For pages where you get stuck in back loops, or want to hop back after a rabbit hole.

Me watching the Amazon tracker for a delivery this evening

I did some updates to the blog including finally fully launching the Photolog. There isn't a lot there right now. I am going to go back through social media and fill in things from the past. But now that the feature is there I'll begin doing more photos. www.trickjarrett.com/photos.html

In other news, today marks 10000 years married. Married on 10/10/10, so it seems only fitting to celebrate anniversaries in binary as well.

"My stomach churned as I took his pen and signed my name on a blank page. On the horizon, the world burned." (This quote is out of context but I just loved this turn of phrase. Greatly enjoying Mary Robinette Kowal's _The Calculating Stars_. I'll finish it tomorrow I think.

Was in the mood for some James Bond tonight and we rewatched this one. I only remembered the barest of details from it.

I have no idea why. My wife and I have tried Peaky Blinders a few times and bounced off it. But we picked it back up this week and we're in. It finally landed.

I get all my ideas and inspiration the old fashioned way, trauma.

My dad has been gone more than a decade, but he would have been 85 today. This is a reminder for those of you with good relationships to your parents to give them a call.

Hitting chapter 7 of The Calculating Stars and loving it so far!

Wife and I are watching Reacher s04e07 and it's weird. We have mixed memories of this episode even though we've been working through the season. But we both remember different parts of the episode.

Just ordered a bunch of cards to do some Commander deck updates before #MCAtlanta.

I've never played Borderlands. I had no idea what was going on in this movie. But the line up of Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black and Kevin Hart is truly shocking.

Pleasantly surprised and impressed by the performance of my home Minecraft server when accessing it via Tailscale. Related: Dried kelp farm is self sustaining and feeds my larger storage automatically.

Patting myself on the back. I forced myself to do some writing before turning on some YouTube videos this evening.

My day today: 1. Take mother in law to the airport after her visit 2. Start another new story idea 3. Build an extension on my Minecraft forever world Nether hub 4. Dinner with a friend in from out of town 5. Researched a trip with the wife

it must be so difficult to act with a character who you can’t even see. thankfully, Foghorn is just that talented

I kind of want this to become a new notes app style meme for long posts

I have officially hit that age where I get introspective and thoughtful about minor everyday conveniences. Like this morning I packed 2 boxes for shipping & I was considering how it wasn't that long ago this required wooden crates & a great deal more effort than cardboard box, printed label, & tape.

It is a textbook #firstworldproblem but holy jeezus the unsolicited texts and calls to me as a homeowner from people is insane. So many contractors want me to know they're doing work nearby, or asking if I want a new roof, or people trying to get me to sell for cash.
