Autumn has arrived. Walked by this tree recently. I had to stop and enjoy it.
No matter what, the moment you pick to run that one errand you need to do before 5pm will inevitably be the same time your biggest client has an issue and your phone starts blowing up.
I have to give credit to Lucidchart. I watched this entire video without a single thought that it might be an ad.
I feel dirty now. It’s so well done and I love absurdity like this.
Well done.
Kindle app: Here’s your streak! Look at it!
Also Kindle: Whoopsie, you didn’t read and lost your streak. Never mind I just synced your progress from yesterday, when you read. But you didn’t read. And now your streak is broken.
Ruby (left) and Ginger (right) are ready for their day out on the town.
I was not prepared for how fluffy Ruby was. I had only seen photos online and when she arrived this morning, I was delighted at how soft and fluffy this sweet bird felt.
There’s some event in town nearby and there’s spotlights dancing across the sky.
As close as I can tell, the AI Revolution means there’s a little icon in my work apps that looks either like * or ✨offering to “summarize” or “define” things for me. But not really because it has to be enabled. So it’s a useful button that’s annoying. That takes me to a page all about their AI. 🤖
Snap has arrived. I love collecting these little birds.
I replaced the wheels on my desk chair I bought second hand.
I now have rollerblade wheels which fit perfectly but caused too problems.
First, it’s way too much fun to zoom around on them.
Second, my office is not level so the chair rolls on its own.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Taylor Swift stalked acrosss the stage for 3 hours and it was a beautiful catharsis for us and the ladies who were dancing and singing along.
Absolutely love it.
Waking up tomorrow and recording a Destiny 2 podcast then going to the Taylor Swift Eras Movie.
I am mildly afraid. 🍿 💃
There’s something magical about moving all of the 1s and 0s to another place and it just working.
I replaced the drive in my desktop last night as my 256GB was filling and now I have 1TB of space. And it was painless. Except for that One tiny screw.
Nothing like falling in love with a song and checking out the rest of the album only to find it’s nothing like the one song you love.
Drowning Together, Dying Alone by Black Light Burns
Once again, I need a greatest hit list of “Quiet Songs from Loud Bands”. It’s possible my favorite genre of music.
I realized today that I spend 1/4 of every work day in meetings at the start of the day. Some days it’s more than 1/2 a workday in meetings.
It’s no wonder I don’t have the time I need for deep work and analysis.
Thrifting tonight was superb.
I’m madly in love with this magazine holder and my wife found a marionette!
Good note taking (and quickly finding those notes) is a super power.
What iPad would you buy this year if it was time for an upgrade?
I’ve got an iPad Pro 9.7" from 2016 and it’s showing its age (in addition to no longer receiving iOS updates).
I don’t need Pro features. I use my iPad mainly for reading/writing/watching. It’s not a laptop replacement.
There’s a part of me who wants to reply to people with watches on their left wrist they’re wearing it on the wrong side.
It’s confusing how you all use that other hand. It’s a drink holder.
This year has been a real “survival of the fittest” outside. There’s two little survivors. No idea what they are. The birds likely planted them or their native to Maryland.
Here’s a scary story.
It’s 4:41pm. Your manages sends you an instant message.
“Should I tell Bob NotHisRealName to move Production’s database to staging or QA’s database to Staging for our customer-facing application?”
The End.
I’m a sucker for shadows of trees on walls.
Always a little unnerving to get a password reset email from Facebook. For an account you “deleted” in 2018.
Because Facebook cannot be trusted and will never be trusted.
This Little Free Library popped up on my street recently and it’s adorable. I am in love with it. Those colors! 🥰
Brought to you by the letter M and the and the number 9.
The only downside of cleaning the stove top is not wanting to use it. It’s so clean and beautiful!
