Shouting into the void.
Happy Fourth of July. Remember, we used to be a proper country.

Camera, off. Mic, off. Introvert’s mode is my favorite way to use Teams.

Think you don’t have audio processing issues? Try joining a new job that is filled with an international team where about 90% of the team has thick accents. Let’s just say that whenever Teams has its audio issues has been a nightmare.

I think I just lost some credibility regarding my observation skills. I was explaining a cartwheel to my kid and it just now dawned on me why it was called a “cart…wheel”.

Happy No Kings Day, America.

Curating a skater punk station on Pandora is a valid form of therapy. You can’t convince me otherwise.

You know, when I overthink about it, I kinda feel bad for the mid-grade gas. Everyone either wants the cheapest or the best while it just sits lonely in between.

Started a new job last week. Recently got my first project to work on and learn the system. It felt good to see my first batch code pass checks.

With all the divisive opinions going around today, I think we can all agree that the couch is grey.

My iPhone just autocorrected "Trucking" to "Trickling". Uh...what?!

I haven’t bothered to look up what happened the the recently free-ranged Zebra running around Nashville. Did he get captured? Adopted? Is he hiding amongst the black and white decor of a millennial that watched too much Chip & Joanna?

With the Switch 2 coming out, they should make a Legend of Link game where you play as Zelda and use all her epic powers to rescue Link.

T-ball should be rebranded as “Adorable Chaos”.

Something crazy about living in the Nashville area is the amount of music history that's just casually floating around. This Linn Drum machine is the one used on the iconic 80's song "Maniac" and is being sold directly by one of its songwriters.

I’m watching Wall-E with my son and a detail I loved that I’ve missed on my other rewatches is when the smasher bot gets set free and purées the security bots. Dude is out of breath after his smash fest. A robot is out of breath. Haha, love it.

I think we can all agree that Simpsons: Hit & Run was one of the greatest video games of all time and needs a rerelease on modern platforms (and throw in a remastering too).

Well, I got the job and start next month!

The full version of What’s Going On by Madilyn Mei finally released. It’s wacky, chaotic, perfect. Well done.

Had a great interview today and got the final part tomorrow morning. I feel very positive about this, but this job hunt has been such an arduous journey that I feel like I should be a bit cautious before jumping to a hopeful excitement.

Nothing quite like getting a denial on a job application for a job title I didn’t apply to. Oh yeah, and it came in at 12:16a. I’ve been confused all day at that one.

If I was ruler, I’d mandate that all food trucks be shaped like the food they sell. I want to buy a burger out of a burger on wheels. An ice cream sundae out from a sundae on wheels. A taco from a taco on wheels. You get the picture. Make it happen, World.

Wait…I just realized something. Chicago is considered part of the Midwest. That means the new pope is a Midwesterner. Oh, geez. That means he’s the “Ope Pope”.

So, they've got new episodes of Phineas and Ferb coming out, I'm hoping the next "series finale" is them actually making the title sequence.

Listen, if you’re hiring for a frontend engineer, don’t spend 60% of your requirements talking about backend skills.
