I want to feel vindicated but I honestly don't. Years of PTSD from being yelled at and told I was wrong, that metrics were evil and I was actively trying to make others' lives worse.

I will literally donate $50k to the first MAGA motherfucker who travels to Portland and captures genuine footage of a war zone that isn't of their own making.

Your monthly reminder that the IRS received my filing in April and still has yet to process my refund.
It's literally October and I haven't gotten my tax refund.

War ravaged Portland
Just got back from vacation in Portland. It was pretty fucking scary walking over 30 miles all over SW, SE, and NE and still having the strength for Bonta Gelato on 10th. Tho to be fair, WAR almost broke out when I realized Little Big Burger shut down half their shops.
Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

Relatively short trip to PDX but we had such a wonderful visit. Weather was incredible, we walked 30+ miles across three days, and got to see all of our favorite places.
Sorry to my local friends who I failed to connect with but we knew we wouldn't have much time to spare. Owe you a rain check!

Awesome to see @reyjrar.bsky.social IRL this morning. Feels like we only ever get to meet up for Monitorama events, so it's a special treat to meet up with him (and grab coffee) close to home.

Been thinking a lot lately about
diets
maintenance
home gyms
lifting
coffee
coffee roasting
portland
career
camping
biking
bikepacking
steps
garage storage
30 rock
dropping a clothes size
fascism
but it always feels disingenuous to post about any of them individually because I've been so quiet.

“we’re all looking for the guy who did this”
I don’t think a headline has ever epitomized “too little, too late” as much as this one.

@scott.hanselman.com about 3/5 thru listening to the Oxide podcast and your pushback on trolling hit me hard in the feels, thank you for that.

Truly enjoyed listening to this version of the Prodcast. I love @sfurino.bsky.social's passion for systems and how we can codify service expectations to ensure customer happiness (my paraphrasing, don't @ Sal).
