The other day I made a post about disappearing from the social internet. I think with the possible exception of BlueSky, that's the direction I'm going this year.

I deleted social media from my phone and unsubscribed to 90% of the pointless trash I was watching on YouTube.

See ya around. Maybe. 👋

My 2024 Year In Books.

I set a goal of 30 after reading 35 last year. Honestly it was a struggle to even hit 25, but I still read every single day. That makes two years in a row of daily reading.

When it comes to social media, I have two moods.

1.) I need to post more, be more active, make real connections, build a following, and create helpful content that everyone can use.

2.) Delete all my accounts, vanish from the internet, and never use this trash again.

There is no in between.

Bought an Amazon Echo today. Got home, set it up. It shows ads that can't be turned off. Less than an hour later and it's in the box to be returned. No freaking thank you.

My son found a new, not at all annoying thing his toy can do.

It's not official official yet, but I passed my Google Cloud Certification exam today. Needed this for work by the end of the year, and it's a big relief to finally have it checked off my list.

Oh shit

The best part of December? Trying not to forget to move the creepy ass elf to a new place before I go to sleep. 🫠

Google, if I block a sender, that doesn't mean I want their messages to go to spam. It means I don't want to see anything from them. In any folder. Ever. Why is this a difficult concept?

Is today really Friday? I feel like it's the third one this week. 🫠

Maybe one day I'll actually post code stuff again.

Ah who am I kidding I never really posted code stuff before either.

Today was my first martial arts class in almost a month. I definitely needed a break, but I'm so glad to have made it back today. Feeling both physically and mentally fantastic.

Holy heck work was nonstop today. Finally finished just in time to get in the car and drive for ten hours wish me luck.

I'm totally not panic studying for a Google Cloud Certification that I need to get for work that I've been putting off for too long. 😬

Oh so I guess now Bluesky is cool again.
October 23, 2024 at 12:09 AM
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #31,127!

I have some extremely fine art in my home.

Got a medical bill today and my wife wants me to call and negotiate with the hospital. How can I make her understand that I'd rather just crawl in a coffin and bury myself than make a phone call?

Ah yes walking up to a headache on a Saturday. My favorite part of the weekend.

Oooh I have an invite code! Am I a cool kid now?

Seeing more and more brands popping up here. Probably going to be easiest to just block them all. I don't need to see faux quirky bullshit from some company trying to look cool.

Me: Bluesky is a fresh start! I'm going to be more active, talk to new people and post more engaging and thoughtful content!

Also me: *Does exactly none of that*

My biggest tweet was about centering a div.
My biggest tweet was about how PHP will never die.
