It's 40 degrees here in Atlanta. Georgians are wandering the city in distress, searching for kettles of fresh hot boiled peanuts or barbecue smokers to warm themselves.

What's up with those little handheld mics that look like a shaving brush, that I'm suddenly seeing lots of podcasters use?

Things are already starting to stack up at Dulles. We're third in line (I think) for this runway, waiting on a park-and-ride pad for airliners.

LinkedIn really is turning into a cesspool. Just saw a post by somebody asking why one tool is so much more popular than another one in a particular cloud, arguing that the second tool is purpose-built for that cloud so should naturally work better and be more popular there.

My recollection is that it was a major hard drive maker (WD? Seagate? Memory fails there) who started advertising drive sizes in short megabytes, to make their drives seem slightly larger than the competition. (This was after it became common to advertise unformatted vs. formatted capacity.)
Forever mad about GB vs GiB and the fact that I'm supposed to occasionally say gibibyte with a straight face and expect the audience not to think I'm stuttering

Just a quick thread on quality of work with some airy assertions backed up by nothing at all substantive but that I'm pretty sure are correct:

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Oz,
Great mighty king, barely knew what hardship was,
Then one day he was old with achin' bones,
And down he went into a dark place alone.
Dead, that is.
Entombed.
Mummified.

Well.........
This is a story
All about how
King Oz got stripped
Stone legs
Sand frown
Antique sculpted pedestal
Words did appear
Of said wreck
To look upon works
Oh ye
And despair

Gotta say, I was disappointed to see CNCF has chosen to take KubeCon back to SLC in 2026 because the venue in LA is not available. It was *just in* SLC last year, and some of our longest-tenured and most-contributing Kubernetes community members didn't attend because they didn't feel safe doing so.

I supposed I should have realized long before now that like my own native Chesapeake Bay, San Francisco Bay is a flooded estuary. (In the former case, the Susquehanna River, and in the latter, the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Napa.)

Oh yeah, I forgot about the _House_ episode where Hugh Laurie clearly just wanted to hang out playing piano with Dave Matthews.

The only character to successfully resist the pull of the Ring in the books is Sam, and it's basically stated that it's in part because unlike the other characters who aspire to grandiose heights of power, Sam "knows his place" (as a good mid-20th-century English laborer should).
"So if I get this ring, I'm in charge?" "Absolutely not, you have to run and hide" "Will using the ring help me hide" "Yes! Except not from the people who will kill you to get the ring, to them it reveals your precise location" honestly it's like the AI version of an artifact. It's magic Claude
