Are you parrot smoking a pipe or a flamingo with a crown?
Good Morning and Happy June. Here’s some little birdy babies.
What a wonderful show. The series finale aired so take this as your sign you can now watch the entire series on your terms.
Just as The West Wing was an optimistic version of how government could work in the US, Ted Lasso shares that positivity with more realism.
I love watching our solar power generation grow and seeing how it compares to the last 3 years.
The $8/month power bill isn’t bad either. Which is our grid connection fee in Maryland.
iphone - How do I exclude a single day from/preemptively snooze a daily alarm? - Ask Different
Apple’s clock app isn’t very deep - it mimics late 20th century Apple watches in functionality, it seems. There is certainly no problem with that as it serves most people’s needs completely and many users needs to varying levels.
This response deserves to be framed.
There is some La Croix in our office that, from a glance, across the room, looked like Surge.
And for a brief moment I was transported back to 1999 in Berryville chugging Surge and playing Smash Bros on N64.
Antique Stores are magical places.
Spent the weekend in a cabin near a lake with a hot tub. Spent some quality hours soaking in the hot tub, writing, reading and barely leaving. The outside world did not exist and time itself melted away. It was a perfect, peaceful weekend to celebrate 13 years of marriage.

How do you get information into a country that’s banned free press?
Embed a secret room inside Counter-Strike of course.
After spending an hour planning and stressing and searching for accommodations for a trip I had a realization.
Why am I making this harder than it should be?
So I booked a cabin. On a lake. With a hot tub. Two and a half hours drive from home.
Hot tub and relaxation. 🥂
My wife found a spice in our pantry that said “best before 2020” and I said.. weren’t we all spice? Weren’t we all?
On the job hunt again. My time where I am is coming to an end.
My qualifications are: I managed Webex and Zoom through a global pandemic.
My wife is a constant inspiration and reminds me there are no rules. If you wake up one day and say I WANT A PINK DOOR, then it can be pink. Want a matching window? Make it so.
Does anyone remember the TV ads from the 90s that said “Unemployed? Underemployed? Looking to turn your career around?”
I’m trying to find one to see if my memory holds up. There was black background and white text listing the exciting jobs like tv/vault repair.
My biggest strength at work is synthesizing and summarizing information. It’s what my team appreciates and where I excel.
Midday walks are my sanity.
🍿 Memory: The Origins of Alien (2019)
Really enjoyed this documentary. The influence of H.R. Giger was unmistakable. But the Francis Bacon connection I was unaware of.
Antique Malls are spectacular places for the collected weirdness of the past.
Facebook Class Action Lawsuit. facebookuserprivacysettlement.com
I don’t know who made it a rule that any class action lawsuit website looks like a Geocities page. But here we are.
📺 Shrinking (2023) - ★★★★★
Watched it this weekend. Absolutely loved it. It felt so real and relatable. One of the few comedies that felt funny and not juvenile.
Watched it with my therapist wife who e noted it in a whole different level.
Adventures in lamp repair
My wife found a beautiful vintage lamp that looks like a glass flower but the lamp parts didn’t work.
Replace the socket, wire and went to put it back together only to find we needed a different socket.
So we have a working lamp. But it’s no longer beautiful.
Tomorrow we get parts and have both a working lamp and a beauty.
Spotify updated last night. I was hoping it would remove the auto-playing music tik-tok-style scroll main page it went to in the last update.
It did not. And it still auto-plays when you open the app.
It’s like Netflix, playing audio as you scroll through your available choices. It’s terrible. :(
Tennessee is over here sending emails about beautiful cabin rentals.
But I’m sorry, your state is off limits for my vacation dollars. I can’t vote on your elections but I can sure choose to spend my money in states that support rights for all.
📺 Daisy Jones & the Six (2023) - ★★★★★
Just finished the series in Amazon Prime. My wife enjoyed the book so we watched the series together and it was superb.
It follows a huge rock band in the ‘70s and their trials and tribulations. It’s so well done and left us both in tears at the end.
