Making pixel art instead of lunch.

Wine tour today

Hatte vorhin gesehen, dass der Wind die grad eingepflanzte Gurkenpflanze umgeweht hat und wollte die eben wieder aufrichten… da hatte die sich bereits um die Blätter der daneben stehenden Tomatenpflanze gewickelt. 😳

Great article about Facebook, AI clickbait and people's ability to discern what's real:

I use Social Fixer to read Facebook on my computer, but actually post to Facebook on my iPad. If I make the mistake of scrolling down, I'm bombarded with garbage. The more I read The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, the more I want to move away from it, but there's no good substitute yet.

This is the first year in forever that I’ve bought new sports games. I picked up NHL 24 and FC 24, both at a steep discount (under $20) but then NHL got added to Gamepass like a week later and now FC 24 is coming to PlayStation for free. Ughh…. Never again EA. I don’t even follow sports that much.

Sometimes blogging must take a backseat to gardening. It's going to start raining this afternoon and not stop for a few days. The blog post will be done today, but maybe not until afternoon PDT. Thank you for understanding.

I've officially announced my departure at work. I'm really going to miss having my day to day with so many people that communicate primarily in emoji. I've only made one custom emoji for my departure slack thread, so far.

Too many ideas for posts, too little time/energy to actually write them all. But getting back to blogging has been fun so far.

Experimenting to migrate my blog from to omg.lol's Weblog… until now, it's super easy and customizable!

Finished writing and noticed my back tire was deflated. Awesome. And my flat kit wasn’t packed back into my bag from the weekend. Pumped it up but a minute later deflated again. Thankfully didn’t bike too far from home. Walked it back and will handle it tomorrow.

I officially launched , my latest photography project. It's a daily photo blog built using the Scribbles platform. Only three entries so far, but more to come. Will cross-post to Mastodon as well.

I coordinated a statewide series of webinars for Older Americans Month with our EAP. Fridays at 10 in May. My agency even did a press release with info about it (which I guess means you’re all invited?). Today’s topic was about caring for someone with Alzheimer’s. The info is important to know, but it is also depressing to hear.

Aging. All of us are doing it all the time, and people are living longer and healthier lives. But when I think of people going through things like Alzheimer’s my heart just breaks. It’s just not fair.

I know I've gotten old because the bands that used to annoy my parents now get airplay on "classic rock" stations.

need to stop making this late nights a habit... i wish you all you lovely people a good nights sleep!

Early first meeting of the day got moved so decided to take that and the sun shining as a sign to go run.

Humans eat more bananas than monkeys. For real! I can't even remember the last time I ate a monkey.

Grades are in.

I have some free time in the schedule this Friday morning. Maybe I can actually get some work done?

Having a happy morning.

Browsing .

Years ago, I had a colleague who posted the same message repeatedly on social media, "It's Friday, Bitches!" I appreciated that man and his unbridled joy at the end of every work week. The world needs all the joy it can get.

Easy swim this morning

Think I got the thing I have been chasing all day actually working.

Good night

Stressful times at work being ameliorated by having a nice lunch with an awesome person and the prospect of a FUN long weekend.

Actively job hunting. I’d like to continue my career as a Senior Technical Writer. Remote positions only. Thanks if you help in anyway.

Good Friday

Converted all my kindle books to epub and bought some more to read on my Kobo. Today is already productive.

Good morning. (I hope).

aforismi

« La crudeltà di un atto la si misura valutandone anche la vigliaccheria che c’è dietro. »

Fabrizio Caramagna

A mixed bag of to dos today.

Overground delayed as usual so I popped into Cafe Nero at Stratford Station for a double espresso. The coffee is worse than the overcrowded train.

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." - Walt Disney

Despite not having specific astrological data for May 3, 2024, common themes in planetary transits often revolve around change, reflection, and action. The readings from May 3 suggest themes of transformation (1 Corinthians 15:1-8), communication (Psalms 19:2-5), and guidance (John 14:6-14). A shared theme could be interpreted as the importance of clear vision and purposeful action.

In business today, prioritize clarity in your goals and communicate them effectively. Embrace changes that align with your core mission. Remember, a well-articulated vision serves as a roadmap for success.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish." - Proverbs 29:18 KJV

To the list of things I’ve lost to hard drive failures, such as fifteen years of photos I discovered last year, add now my childhood Star Trek film shot by my dad, and none of this is playing well for my existential angst or death anxiety, especially when you add in shuttering my blog because it was causing me too much stress, because it all starts to feel like I am being erased.

Goeiemorgen deze morgen. De baan op, wat kinders naar school rijden. 🌧️

weblogpomo2024 is in full swing! I’m 3 for 3 so far and have every intention to make it the full month.

Feeling a bit sad reading about the new Borealis train now that I’m no longer in Minnesota. A Milwaukee stop between St. Paul and Chicago is fantastic. I’ll console myself by getting reacquainted with the train routes through Seattle, which are pretty great from what I remember.

managed to not go running after the orange cat invading the backyard

Glad to be home after a short trip to Dallas.

I think spring has finally found me!

Multisyllabic is.

I have a Curius now! Looking forward to adding more to it.

Dzień drugi #WeblogPoMo2024

Dziś tematem są skróty i automatyzacje, których używam najczęściej.

WeblogPoMo is on the way!

Feierabend

Done with the editing. On to living.

Enjoying the May flowers.

Kicked back pricing a few baseball cards to take to the antique booth.

Wendy’s breakfast menu has good fried potatoes. It’s hard to go wrong with frying potatoes, though.

Put a bird on it!

Voted.

Now I have a #scraper that pulls a sud-ouest in PDF for me every day, with the help of #BNF's passe lecture, some python, some rust and some temporal...

Hi there! Just updated my blog on micro.blog. Now I will try to update it also here on omg.lol

Dicing up a beet to put on my salad - while wearing a white shirt. [gasp] Just me, living my comically dangerous lifestyle.

It’s May!

Building!

Heading to the office.

Where did that come from? It’s raining. The sun was out a few minutes ago.

Sunny first of may

I will participate in #WeblogPoMo2024, a blogging challenge that will last for the month of May.

Played pickleball for the first time, then watched Challengers. Currently undefeated. Just saying.

Our dear friend Rick Lai passed away in his sleep last night.

Well. That interview did not go well.

Just went for a run for the fist time in... ever?

I am not sure why Comcast thinks it’s worthwhile to call me 4 times a day after I cancelled service. If it’s so important leave a voicemail. Will decide then if I want to speak with you.

My fastest run from Sunday's #autocross...

I pushed too wide on the entrance and was sloppy through the initial slalom (picking up a cone in the process), but stayed pretty even with my best clean run. I pulled ahead when I was able to carry ~1.5mph more through the last section, and finished with a 0.25s gain. And that pesky cone, which cost me the win.

All in all, a great day of racing!

A utilizar uma rebarbadora para afiar o lápis.

Google’s connected speakers and hubs are actually useful (unlike Alexa and Siri…), but it’s really hard when you’re super angry about something and have to mumble “Hey Google …” through gritted teeth. Just let us change the wake phrase.

(Yes I know some devices/command combinations don’t require a wake phrase but who has time to learn which)

Final push for a client office move go-live!

Feeling lucky, having the means to do my monthly and weekly plan in such a beautiful scenery.

Two more days of work until I'll start my 5-week sabbatical. Can't believe it's happening. So much room for activities!

All Arsenal now has to do is win rest of their games and hope ManCity at least draws one of theirs if not lose. But all ManCity has to do is win their remaining matches 😒

C25K w8d1: It's the 28-minute run week. Speeds are still inching up. Probably time to start adding in strength training.

The Last of Us 2 is fucking exhausting. The game should've ended after the time skip with Dina and the baby.

Just got back from the Mexican restaurant where I enjoyed some fish tacos. Now I'm sitting on the back patio, trying to finish up this Sleep Token blog post.

Enjoying a nice family break on the island of #Terschelling. Will be posting some pictures of this beautiful Island in the near future.

Sunday morning coffee is the best type of coffee.

A little Sunday afternoon nap is the best sort of nap.

Don’t sleep on B12.

Until today, I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of a movie as an adult. Sasquatch Sunset changed that. 😂

Going to the mall with my family might have not been the best idea with my neck issue right now.

Putting a project and myself to bed.

Bookmaking class is so fun, I'm enjoying it so much. The mostly likely way I'll use this skill is to make sketchbooks for myself, but I was commenting in class that it can be frustrating when you have a nice sketchbook but screw up a page. Turns out our teacher has a class on that exact topic next month: techniques for covering a botched page in your sketchbook. Guess I'll be taking an art class in May, too! Oh darn. Twist my arm.

Made it through my first week back after a whole week of being sick. Still have residual fatigue. Hopefully this passes…

About to start streaming. Unfortunately, no Drehmal today, as Tamber is feeling sick, and Kevin is prepping for a big move and getting some personal time in. So I might play a few things, starting with Voices of The Void as my usual go-to! .

Okay. Fastmail is cool. I've been using it for a while now, but I only just realised that the way I have things set up, not only does it not matter what goes before the @, but I can have an unlimited depth of subdomains. As long as it ends with my domain, I'll get the email.

I think I’ve reached my annual limit of backed Kickstarter projects

I go visit a friend, they serve me tuna sandwiches and I like them. Next time I’m at the store I buy cans of tuna. Today, I organize my cabinets and throw out years old expired cans of tuna. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s been a long time since I rode the ferry. It’s still so nice to go into the city this way.

Just finished Audible's recently released version of 1984. Terrific performances all round, a chilling experience from a chilling source material.

The weekend off had quickly gone, and this week I have a pretty busy schedule. Starting with a 16 hours shift.

Nice to have a week at home between business trips. I try to space out travel to no more than once per month, but this month just stacked up for me. Gotta enjoy the time at home while I can!

I finally finished my exams and entered the Ramadan holiday, I plan not to go to my family and spend a holiday with my friends.
