I like movies a lot. I worry about right-wing extremism. I play and sometimes write tabletop RPGs. I do SRE things but don’t speak for my employer here. I grew up in New England and live with my wife in Seattle. He/his.

Got to play in a Hollows one-shot today, and it really paid off on the promise of tactical boss combats. The quick start pregens are maybe a bit lumpy but I wound up wanting to build my own PC so I have to admit the goal was accomplished. rowanrookanddecard.com/product-cate... #TTRPG

Man, that Sonder story is wild. I hadn’t used them a ton but they were the perfect #FantasiaFestival hotel, literally next to the primary theaters and cheap.

I was in Iowa City hanging out with the folks who founded the local chapter of Citizens Opposing the Offing of Peaks, which is how I wound up in the chorus of Dr. Demento #1 hit “All We Are Saying is Give Peaks a Chance.”
I was lucky enough to watch #TwinPeaks in the order it came out but for many, the first two seasons were hard to come by so #FireWalkWithMe was their introduction.
Not until the show hit Netflix and released on DVD did it take off again.
How did you first find "Twin Peaks"?

Really good #LastFourFriday. Yes yes I like Westerns now, you got me. Also one excellent new release, a Canadian classic (watched with @smichele.bsky.social, her first Maddin, fun!) and an obscure French political romance thriller with two great actors. 📽️

Man, Ricky Nelson’s performance as a dangerously bloodthirsty gunslinger in Rio Bravo is gonna stick with me. Did he ever do anything else like that? I swear he would have picked the other side if it had seemed there was gonna be more risk over there. 📽️

Sidney Dekker: The Safety Scientist Who Influences How I Think About Quality
Over the past decades, as I've grown and now led quality organizations in biotechnology, I've encountered many thinkers who've shaped my approach to investigation and risk management. But few have fundamentally altered my perspective like Sidney Dekker. His work didn't just add to my toolkit—it forced me to question some of my most basic assumptions about human error, system failure, and what it means to create genuinely effective quality systems.

Okay, so I also dislike transfers at Heathrow a lot. But… how can you complain about baggage delays when everyone at BA kept telling you that you were too late to make your flight? I’d bet real money that at least one person actually said that your baggage was what would be delayed.

Good old @filmsradiance.bsky.social hits my sweet spot again with Le Combat dans l’île. Jean-Louis Trintignant and Romy Schneider, to start with, and then it’s really about how how she escapes his misogynistic colonialist terrorist life? I am so glad movies exist. 📽️

Any other Pluribus watchers who found Koumba Diabaté a little stereotypical? There’s something about the African man whose only conception of wealth is American excess that bugs me.

Sleepy tonight but #LastFourWatched calls! Two shorts, two full length movies. I don’t spend enough time with the Criterion Channel’s shorts and I’m always glad when I do explore them. 📽️

That annoying moment when it's clear your most recent attempt at migrating your blog is going to succeed, but you've got a solid week left of work to do, and you don't want to add another post to the old platform because then you'll have to restart stuff.

This was an immediate subscribe for me. The trifecta:

- useful knowledge

By the way this labeler is very helpful, if for no other reason than as a signal for gauging other people’ too-onlineness.

On the other hand, how is the Seattle mayoral race so unimportant that it’s not in CNN’s side scroller of mayoral races?

The worst thing about migrating my blog off Wordpress is discovering the post where I said nice things about Gavin Newsom. In my defense, gay marriage. In my not defense, they were really tone deaf things even though I was trying to be nice.
