Laid off again. No notice, no severance. What a time to be alive and suddenly unemployed again. So long, and thanks for all the crunch.
How To Win Friends And Influence People is still a banger. Well worth reading the full book, and this bullet summary is a pretty good overview.
On a layover in Texas. So you guys can basically get free guns in Happy Meals because freedom and school shootings are just an immutable fact of life, but Bluesky is an existential threat that requires direct government intervention? Genuinely pathetic.
Watching Taskmaster and took a photo of our cat and got an unexpectedly strong Twin Peaks vibe from it.
Absolute Batman has been incredibly fun. Over the top badass with great reimaginings of classic characters and their relationships. What’s everybody reading lately?
I absolutely love Dark City. Just watched it again tonight. Beautiful noir sci-fi light horror. tbh I cannot get on board with the last 1/4 of it, but the rest is so good that I barely care.
My flight home from SFO to SEA got cancelled and now I'm here until Sunday night. Decided to make the most of my extra time so I'm having a beer at a legendary spot. Toronado is awesome.
This is the 120 year old original elevator in the Victorian hotel I'm staying in San Francisco. You have to go all the way up to the 4th floor before going to a lower floor. It's so clanky and loud and dramatic and I love it.
Been too busy with work to cook for a while, so last night I made my favorite Japanese chicken curry. Shallots and grated apple are my favorite additions to this.
I discovered a hummingbird built a nest on our patio next to our feeder! It's so little, like a hummingbird captain of a walnut shell boat. Fourth photo is the closest I could get without incurring its tiny wrath.
"I have said that Danforth refused to tell me what final horror made him scream out so insanely—a horror which, I feel sadly sure, is mainly responsible for his present breakdown."
Rewatching SISU because I'm in the mood for a good movie about killing Nazis, and who doesn't love that? Evergreen sentiment.
Katsu perched on the armrest of my office chair, keeping me company and giving me little kisses on my arm every few minutes.
how I feel when I tell Claude Code "Yes, and don't ask again for kill commands"
The reasons I was searching for this aren't important, but finding this absolutely justified the time spent.
me: asking Gemini how to copy Drive files into a new folder because the option has been removed, and surely in the year 2025 there's a better way than downloading everything locally and reuploading them all individually to each new folder that I need Gemini:
