My car is from 2007 but today I drove a friend's new car, and I understand better now why drivers seem to have gotten so much worse in recent years. Who thought replacing everything physical with computers or screens was a good idea??? Who needs their car beeping at them constantly!?!

I was having to explain why you can't rely on answers from ChatGPT or the Google search page and it hit me so hard how deeply unethical these companies are being, pushing this stuff on everyone

Took a chance on a Waymo yesterday even though it was a rainy day. It picked a route that required a lot of stops, and was also more cautious than I've observed on previous rides. Got me carsick 🤢

The little courtyard next to the Maybourne is a secret gem in Beverly Hills. The fact the the garage beneath it has two hours of free parking really makes it.

I'd been feeling some jaw tightness for the past few days, and was doing a bunch of neck stretches/massages, which only relieved it temporarily. After my run today I did a standing figure 4 stretch and the pain disappeared immediately. The body, how does it work!?

Gave HIGH AND LOW (1963) a re-watch after many years. It's really underrated! I'd forgotten how painstakingly thorough the police procedural part gets. Makes me curious what shape the remake will take.

Bought a Kingrinder K6 last year to brew espresso, but I've been so impressed by how well it does on drip coffee that it's prompted me to get rid of my Encore. My pourovers and French press brews are so, so clean. Manual grinders have come a really long way in the past ten years!

I limit myself to 5oz of regular coffee a day, but even at that dose, I start to get a withdrawal headache if my morning cup is delayed more than an hour 😵

I was waiting at a light on Santa Monica Blvd - heavy, slow-moving traffic - someone jaywalked across the street in front of my car, and it was Sean Hayes, according to my friend who was in the car with me.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Just read an article about fruity coffee drinks. Coincidentally, last week I ate a half-spoon of apricot preserves while waiting for my morning pourover to finish. It really made that first sip better! I brew Ethiopian beans, mostly, and can see trying this with other fruits.

Biked up the Ojai Valley Trail (~30 miles round-trip from Ventura to Ojai) - my first long bike ride in quite awhile, as my backside painfully reminds me. It's a nice path, particularly as the return trip is mostly downhill. And the reward: sandwiches with deep-friend things at Hip Vegan 😄

I was finishing up my usual pourover brew this morning and then I very carefully poured cereal into the drip cone. Can't even make breakfast before I have my coffee 😆

My good friend and mentor Michael R (aka goodwill on the internets) passed away last week, and I'm still reeling from the news. The Python user group we ran for 10+ years has set up a memorial page for him - anyone who knew him is welcome to contribute: socalpython.org/in-memoriam-...

This article answers a question I've had forever: is it ok to microwave a cup of coffee that has gone cold? (answer: sure, but it really won't be the same) www.seriouseats.com/coffee-cooli...
What Happens to Your Coffee As It Sits, and the Science Behind It
Is there a hard time stamp on how long a cup of coffee retains its freshly brewed flavor before it's past saving and might as well be thrown away? We investigated.
