  • Twelve years ago today, an adorable man smiled at me and simply said ”yes”…and we’ve been together ever since. Happy anniversary to my Friend, my Rock, my beautiful Pookie. ❤️💕🏳️‍🌈

  • Helped a friend set up his new Nintendo Switch…the OLED model…and now I want to buy one… 🎮😭

  • I feel like I just moved heaven and earth to get my Apple TV remote working with my Sonos Beam…but in the end, restarting the remote is what fixed it. Also, the absurdity of that just struck me: why are remotes to the point we have to be able to restart them…? 😱

  • Came all the way out onto the pier for some therapy. 🛋️📺 #TV #BobNewhart #Chicago

  • Wait, wait…don’t tell me…? 🤣📻 #npr

    The set of NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"

  • I sometimes feel like I’m the only person still using RSS feeds to stay up to date on news; it’s been working great for 10+ years but I think I need to modify my approach with filters: I really don’t care about new Google products, given most will be dead within 5 years. 🤣

  • Goodness, something is clearly going on today with dynamic advertising injection in podcasts b/c I do not speak any Spanish; it’s not that I don’t want to learn French or Spanish but the only languages I’m good at are computer languages. 🤣

  • Throwing in the towel for the day, our Jenkins build server is misbehaving. 😱

  • Made it just a few weeks before the next one come out but I finally beat Zelda: Breath of the Wild! 😂

    Cut-scene from the end of the game, with Link and Zelda looking at each other.

  • In the past week, I deployed an update to a back-end service and started the rollout of an update to my desktop application. Two things: one, if you told me I’d be working on Windows Forms in 2023, I’d have laughed at you…and two, I need more coffee. 🤪☕️ Happy Friday!

  • Online advertising seems to get getting worse, at least for me. I’m not sure what online data collection profile thought it would be a good idea to advertise farming equipment to me but I don’t need a tractor. 🤣

  • I think I’m done with NewEgg.com, who ships a hard drive like this, free to flop around the box?!? 😤 This is utterly unacceptable.

    Hard drive, in a box, without much packaging.

  • Well it’s only taken 5+ years but I’m finally going to fight the water boss in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild… 🤣🤣🤣

  • As soon as I dropped my internet service with Charter / Spectrum, they started sending me a massive amount of junk mail. 😮‍💨 Why would I want to sign back up with y’all if you keep having outages in my area on an almost weekly basis???

  • Interesting there are a bunch of online sales of FitBit stuff, especially given the fact FitBit has been going offline a lot lately… 🤔
