After an especially shit-tastic day, I'm treating myself. My dad's family is from Detroit, and my dad introduced me to the Boston Cooler. I just had an alcoholic one with vanilla whiskey ice cream and ginger beer. Sure, it's not Vernor's ginger ale. It's still effing OUTSTANDING!

It's the Orca Mafia sending us a message. Keep messing with their house and we'll sleep with the fishes.

#Pittsburgh #Steelers with a TD. Screw the Brotherly Shove. That's Philly. Steelers use the Jumbo On White package. If you know, you know.

Trying to update my Mazda navigation data. Either their network connection is configured using a 2400 baud modem or they're running everything through AWS US-EAST-1. Lord is this slooooewwwwww.

Happy New Year #Pittsburgh! To ring in 2026, Mother Nature has brought us road conditions with a rating of 8 pairs of Tighty Whiteys. Be careful out there.

Happy 2026. Looks like I'll be splitting my team in half in January with one group handling Cloud Security and the other handling Secrets Management. Cloud Security alone is a growth area, and Secrets Management looks to be three years of solid work to get to general adoption

Are we looking at this wrong? Are the metrics solely bike riders in bike lanes, or should they be bike lanes + bike parking utilization? Riders are one thing, but riders riding to destinations is a measurable monetary metric.

1/2 Morgan Stanley, WTF? They sent a FedEx overnight on Dec 23rd with an end of year requirement. It's still in Chicago. The 800# on the FedEx package is wrong. I finally find and call the right office. I explain that I'm calling as the beneficiary of my deceased father's IRA that they manage.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath
Opinion: Why more urban cycling saves everyone money | Urbanized
The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.

The #Steelers need to abandon the "Jumbo Package" and adopt the "Jumbo On White" package as a replacement. Convince me I'm wrong.

Woot! Escape plan, engaged. Canada's passing of bill C-3 changed citizenship by descent, and since my grandfather was born in Canada, I am now a citizen. I just need to fill out the form, send $75 for processing, and I get my citizenship certificate. Trump is a hoser, eh?

My kids tell me I'm a white 2x minority who can pass. Fortunately I just found a new insurance policy. My grandfather was born in Canada and they just changed the citizenship by descent laws. Looks like my boys and I are Canadian now. Hey Orange man, take off you hoser!

My new slogans/taglines
1. A bike in a bike lane is one less car in front of you
2. That bicyclist could be your neighbor. Be my neighbor. (I live in Pittsburgh, home of Mr. Rogers)
3. Want to be happier? Ride a bike!
4. Two wheels, fewer pills.
Got others?

Bicycling is a blessing and a curse. Here's my indoor training/work meeting/charging setup. [insert benevolent deity here] I hate indoor riding, but Solstice is just around the corner. #bikesky
