Former West Virginian, lifetime Mountaineer. I read and listen to books, run, and lots of other stuff for fun. Something of a technological platypus for work.
I’m 2 chapters into Kaiju Preservation Society and I can’t read it without @wilwheaton.net’s voice in my head. I had to go look to see if he narrates the audiobook…he does. There just something about @scalzi.com’s voice in these standalones that Wil perfectly expresses.
Enjoying the book, too.

My kid used up his iPad time, Nintendo time, and TV time for the morning. He grabbed his little digital camera and figured out it has the Snake game on it. Resourceful little guy.

I felt underdressed for Xmas dinner yesterday when everyone else showed up in nice clothes. But I was perfectly dressed to play basketball with my son, since it was almost 70. That made me care a lot less.

I could not figure out how a food supplier had a zero day exploit for a minute.
This is a real “tell me you might work in tech now, but used to work in a restaurant” moment.

I also used the “The End of the World as We Know It edited by Brian Keene and Christopher Golden” in a Teams poll asking when someone thought a task could be completed. 1 day, 2 weeks, etc.

I’m hopeful that this could help usher in an age where energy doesn’t have to come from blasting the top from mountains. But if it can’t make billionaires more billions, it will probably be shelved
Also, I’ve read @briankeene.bsky.social’s The Rising, so I know sciency things can go awry.

Less than 100 pages from the end of @joe-hill.bsky.social’s King Sorrow. I can’t decide whether to finish it or hold off for a few days, so I don’t have to leave these amazing characters.
It feels so much like when I leave the Losers or Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Oy, every time.

This should be his Greg Stillson moment, but it won’t be. Any reasonable person would find the repugnant. But the people who still support this regime aren’t reasonable.

Read 3 Days, 9 Months, 27 Years last night. Overall very enjoyable. I was expecting All You Zombies vibes but this was a fun departure.
At first, I heard it in @scalzi.com’s voice, but somehow it morphed into @wilwheaton.net’s voice as I got further in.

I really hate when I think something is going to be an article, and end up being a video.
The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

2 @briankeene.bsky.social autographed books, nearly 20 years apart. The first I was working at a Waldenbooks in Morgantown, WV. The second I had to order because I live in Knoxville, TN. The places our lives take us aren’t nearly as fun, but sometimes as scary, as the places Brian’s books do.

As a glasses wearer of >40 years, this will be fantastic if it expands access. But will these kiosks be available in rural areas where doctors aren’t?
I applaud anything that can make access easier, but I fear it will only be in places that already have 3 optometrists in the mall.
