Urbanism dilettante who talks a big game about biking to work in the winter. Simultaneously loves & hates cars. Lives in Minneapolis. Loves music and Star Trek.
This morning I changed the van’s dead battery in -7° temps in under 25 minutes. If my glasses hadn’t fogged up it would have gone faster.
This is a top achievement for middle aged, midwestern living.

Thanksgiving dinner is usually a long, exhausting affair with endless food and boring, unfocused conversation. Skip it this year in favor of a single bowl of Soylent for the table and a lightning round where each family member pitches an idea for disrupting an established industry with AI

The first time I remember hearing Bob Dylan’s Masters of War I thought, “oh, he’s talking about Chaney”. But of course he wasn’t. Apparently that type has been around for at least two generations.

I don’t like that both Windows and Mac OS have made it a little harder to get to a simple calendar with a single click by default.
I must have been one of the few people to use that often.

I still hate that the tech industry is pushing AI garbage on us through everyday tools.

I heard Mr Sandman at the grocery store and wanted to tell the cashier I felt like I’d been time traveling.

Windows 11 complaint: if network latency is high, typing a term into the Start search sometimes freezes the Start menu. It looks like Windows is searching the web for my term before it searches my list of applications.

We don’t talk about how perverse it is that many of our country’s current leaders think that empathy is for losers.
That’s an idea that people should be ashamed of.

I firmly believe that the best way to sightsee non-metropolitan parts of California is to rent a fun car.
