📺 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.

Tiktok Hearings (in two sentences): American companies can spy on you and sell your data. But not a Chinese company.
HELLO! I am looking for hot single woodpeckers! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
It’s really hard listening to the US Government, responsible for getting compromised during the OPM Hack in 2015 to the Chinese. To then turn around and talk about banning TikTok when Meta/Facebook collected all our data, performed experiments on us, and so many more reasons.
New glasses have arrived. My first with progressive lenses. It takes some getting used to. Wheeeeeee!
Meet Paul by Becca Lane
Paul by Becca Lane is the fanciest pigeon in all the land and I am madly in love.
Coo.
The Washington Capitals are playing the NY Rangers tonight and I’m watching the game broadcast live as a cartoon.
This article shows how it was done and how it looked.
The NHL’s Big City Greens Classic, a live 3D animated game, explained
They’re showing the game live with some of the players replaced with cartoon characters. The referee is a chicken. But they’re also taking time to explain rules and how parts of ice hockey work.
I don’t have kids but I’m completely enchanted with how much fun it is to watch hockey this way.
US Govt: We are going to ban TikTok. Meanwhile, on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRWw4e… (goat playing drums against a man wearing a horse mask in a bath tub)

I track my sleep data with an Apple Watch and I fell asleep without putting it back on. I went to manually add in the hours I was asleep and missed the AM/PM switch so now I’ve slept… until 1pm today.
But I can find no way to edit the manually added data from the iPhone or Watch.. is this just not possible or am I missing something?
Trying to explain why testing in dev is a bad idea and came up with this example.
Man 1: This car isn’t running real well. Man 2: Well sir, you see it’s up on the jack without 2 wheels. Man 1: I know, but I was hoping to test drive it.
So that’s how my day is going.

I love reading “day in the life” style stories of people in different professions. This is an excellent look at coaching in the National Hockey League. It’s easy to look at games and coaching and ask yourself what does the coach even do? The answer is, an absolute mountain of work. Most of which, like any job, isn’t readily apparent to the onlooker.

In short, you’re a coach.
And Luke Richardson loved that job.
“It’s the closest thing to being a player,” he said. “Because you’re there and you spend lots of time with the players, you do one-on-one work with the guys physically and mentally and verbally. I enjoyed that contact.”
Well… I just turned 42 and just said the words out loud “I wonder where this bird lives and if I could meet him.”

I didn’t know I would be walking through Costco crying as Self-Hosted Show: 89 Jellyfans shared the most heart-breaking data loss story I’ve ever heard.
What a warm, lovingly crafted, funny series overflowing with heart and love for Wrexham, Wales.
We binged through the 18 episode season in two evenings. Delighted to see there is another season coming.
If you enjoyed Ted Lasso, give this a go.
I’ve seen clips of this show on TikTok so when I saw it was on Netflix I ran to watch it! It’s hilarious and superbly put together.

“If you’re gonna use me, use me up”
🎵 Use Me Up - Until the Ribbon Breaks
There is such motion and throughout this song. then it stops for a moment to soothe and speak. Then right back to that insatiable groove.

This is a great song. And I’m trying out Lantern from Robb Knight.
Spent today neck deep in Webex’s REST API, Postman and out application today trying to figure out why my numbers weren’t matching up.
I’m exhausted and my brain feels like the number of tabs I have open and VSCode, Typora, Excel and Text Edit documents I have open on my computer.
