So excited to see Bad Bunny perform. This is an epic video trailer/teaser. Only good news in my feed today.
OK, got some reading done, watched half a movie with the better half, got some guitar practice in, and then …. THIS!
I love TimeOut in the Fenway! What an awesome place to grab whatever you want! This sucks, I hope something cool goes in its place!
Well, this certainly has been a day. Time to put away the screens and read. One short story a day, working out well so far! Any fantastic short stories to recommend?

Of course they had ties to the beef industry!
A group of researchers that formed the scientific basis of new dietary guidelines included people with financial ties to the beef and dairy industries, as well as food companies and other groups.

Fantastic post - https://technicshistory.com/2026/01/02/the-rise-of-computer-games-part-ii-digitizing-nerddom/
My entire youth in the 80s was spent playing games like Wizardry, Zork, and other D&D variants.
Now, to prepare my own DM notes for tomorrow night’s D&D game with my son!
OK, this is cool: wantmymtv.vercel.app Check out MTV from the different decades!
Happy Tuesday. Just found this fun game on hackernews. I stink at it, but it was a fun pre-meeting distraction. How well can you do? https://enclose.horse/
Found this interesting site on hackernews this morning. Moving from an individual contributor to a manager? Try the game and see how you do.
I am trying to declutter, especially electronically. I think I’ve unsubscribed to over 25 newsletters and marketing schlock in my gmail account already. All the comics are put away in bags and boards, and I’ve indexed them all in a comic collecting app. Office is the cleanest its been in forever.
I learned this tidbit today “The Super Bowl is responsible for an additional 17 to 18 million pounds of avocado consumption.” from thisfantastic post. I learned that I have too many subscriptions, so I’m going to see how many I can cut out of my life in ‘26
I love working from home on a Monday when there is apparently no one else working. That To Do list is going to shrink! I’m going to get a bunch of organization done, and work related reading. Happy Monday, all!
Finished reading SaltCrop to end the year. Will try and get more non-fiction read in 2026, but I’m not setting goals just yet. Really enjoyed the novel, great story about a dystopian future where big companies are doing bad things.
Who doesn’t love the time between Christmas and New Year’s? I’m not even sure what day of the week it is, and I don’t care. I just took a bath. I’m a grown ass man, and I just sat in the bathtub with a negroni.
It has been forever since I last posted here. Happy to continue to support micro.blog, but maybe it’s time to post a bit more. I’ve been somewhat active on bluesky. But honestly, I’ve been keeping to myself. Between work and life and D&D with my son, there’s a lot going on! Start a streak?
This will always make me laugh, and the song at the end should be a real song!

“Healthcare isn’t suffering because we have a technical problem. Healthcare is not progressing as fast as it should because we have these very intricate workflow problems that still need to be solved. I don’t feel as though a brilliant technologist can come in and help fix that,” Cartmell said.
Lots of great information in this Statnews post, but I loved this so much, I had to cut and paste it verbatim:
In recent years, Walz has positioned Minnesota as a Midwestern safe haven for access to abortions and gender-affirming care as surrounding states implement restrictions. Walz in 2023 signed a law codifying abortion rights in the state constitution; the same year, he issued two separate executive orders designed to shield traveling patients and Minnesota providers from abortion and gender-affirming care penalties issued by other states.
The 1980s need in me is very excited
Love this short article in today’s Boston Globe. My son just played at YMCA sleep away camp, and he’s excited to keep going. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/07/31/o… #DnD #creativity
