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?


Great flight home from Florida this Sunday.
