A wonderful co-worker just shared this book with me. Carl and the Meaning of Life.
Her son brought it home from the school library and she fell over laughing. And now it has me thinking about how earthworms and IT Operations are terrifyingly similar.
(And my name is Carl if that wasn’t clear.) ;-)
📷 Day 13: Animals
This Dove from this morning will do nicely. Enjoy your day. Enjoy your dove.
📷 Day 12: Legend
This house is absolutely legendary. I saw it driving by and had to detour to visit it and enjoy it’s spookiness. (That’s a 12' Home Depot skeleton in the back left. First time I’d seen one in real life.)
📷 Day 11: hygge (The first word I had to look up.)
I feel like this hotel room from our stay in NYC was perfect.
📷 Day 10: Bridge
A bridge we visited in Oregon that was closed to traffic and terrifying to walk across (if you have a fear of heights.)
📷 Day 9: Safe
Baby bunny. That is not a safe place.
📷 Day 8: Twlilight
📷 Day 7: Spice
Turkey legs. Dry rubbed and grilled low and slow. I can taste this picture. And because someone will want to know, it’s based off this recipe.
📷 M&M Holder by Logitech It was very thoughtful of them to include.
📷 Day 6: Street
Passenger in a car riding towards the bridge in I-295 near Richmind, VA many years ago. That bridge always triggers my fear of heights because it gets very tall very quickly to account for the port in Richmind.
📷 Day 5: Toy
This toy octopus is my co-pilot. I love 🐙!
📷 Day 4 of #mboct
My wife and I at a recent wedding looking Sharp.
The majority of people are waiting in line.
📷 Day 3 of #mboct
Reading in the dark with a handsfree Kindle setup.
📷 Day 2: Dark #mboct
📷 Zion National Park touched my soul.
Day 1 of #mboct
I can’t keep paying for Instapaper Premium on Android in good faith. It’s buggy and hasn’t seen an update since 2019.
Pocket doesn’t do it for me. I don’t want community around what I read.
I’m super excited for Readwise’s upcoming reader and have money ready to throw at them.
I’m a little lost in the meantime. Is there a Read-it-later service out there I’m missing? I’m aware of Wallabag but never used it.
Being the DRI of Your Career – Accidentally in Code
Distinguish what your employer rents versus what they buy. My employer buys my time, they rent my personal brand. To that end, I’m conscious that whilst it’s part of the value I bring, I don’t want it devalued because ultimately it’s my asset for the long term. This concept also applies to expertise. My expertise is rented, and so I maintain my understanding of what it’s worth, and what is current on the open market. If your job does not match the market in a way that will make it hard for you to find another one, I hope your employer is paying a lot of rent – because they are destroying the market value.
I wish I would have heard this earlier in my career.
This is amazing and I loved every bit of it. Someone Dead Ruined My Life… Again. - YouTube
The level of effort and research this man will go through is astounding and I love seeing what he finds. Or does not.
The National Portrait Gallery is a stunning building filled with mini history lessons disguised as paintings and sculpture.
Went into this blind. (It’s on a poster of 100 movie bucket list where there’s a scratch off illustration for each film and scratching this one made me start crying all over again.)
And wow… What an achingly beautiful film. The claymation. The style and use if color in it. The story. Oh my god the story would have me sobbing uncontrollably if it weren’t told through claymation.
This is a movie I’ve never even heard mentioned and it was beautiful and painful and dark but ultimately beautiful.
Today in photos We had a Sandwhich at our favorite weekend Sandwhich shop. Found a miniature train exhibit with tiny houses. Walked through Brookside Gardens and enjoyed their flowers. Returned home for yard work and admired my own roses. A spotted friend and mother stopped by for a visit. Met the squad while shopping for wedding clothing.
Does anyone have a habit tracker they like?
I’m looking for one that will work for Android and have a Web component (or Mac/Windows app).
I’m not looking to join a community nor to Gamify my habits. I just want something I can remind myself to do things.
Jung Kim has come a long way from Handy Car Rental to Marvel Super Hero.
My wife starting watching a show called Kevin Can Fuck Himself because Annie Murphy (Alexis Schitt) stars and It’s…
Half modern drama. Half 90s sitcom. Complete with laugh track.
The show flips based on when our heroine Annie Murphy is with her husband, the titular Kevin.
Money Heist on Netflix is really satisfying heist drama.
