Nerdy Sysadmin/Devops guy who is into nerdy things. Deeply connected to things that let me work with my hands and mind. Love writing, reading, guitar, programming, the 80s and 90s, TTRPGs, video games, and tattoos. Dad to one son and two cats.
I have always loved to draw but never took it seriously. I started to do some studying as well as reading a book that was recommended to me by a friend who is an artist for a living. These are a week apart. The newer one is the first time I have felt proud about something I drew

Got a pretty big and important job interview in a few minutes and my body chose to give me the scardey-poops. Gotta love anxiety.

If anyone wants real change in this country we need to demand our leadership take actual action or we need to vote out the leadership that is not serving us. This censorship and authoritarianism has got to stop. If Trump is not afraid to get rid of Kimmel, he's are not afraid to get rid of you.

It's wildly surreal to see the media trying to explain internet slang to those that don't know. This shooter was a shitposter and his engraving show that but its not lost on me hearing the news say shit like "...yes and 'OwO' is an emoticon that denotes surprise but in a cute and shy way."

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Might be relevant right about now.

Was reading a Reddit thread about how noisy Americans are in public places and it got me thinking. Do ya'll think it's part of our culture at this point? Is it like how the Finish are notoriously icey, Japanese are cagey, and the Parisians rude?

What are some good "polite insults" like "You're impossible to underestimate"? I need them for ...a thing...at work.

JFC, my new schedule kicked in and im up 430am now. No one should need a sysadmin before 10am, that should be a law.

Your video just made me cry, man.

Im currently struggling with how I can reconcile between pursuing being a deeply artistic person and work a fucking shit awful tech job to pay the bills. And now your Off video just smacked me so hard. Loved it, man. Beautiful and raw. Thank you!

@anyaustin.bsky.social When you got your pilot license, did you have to learn recovery techniques for if the plane stalls, spins..ect? If so what was that like? I feel like it could be fun but also shit-your-pants scary.

Imagine my shock and horror when I asked the old lady at work for her sweet and sour meatball recipe and the only thing that comes out of my mouth is "Hey Linda, can you tell me about your sweetballs?"

I have an unhealthy obsession with buy my friends random and cringe shirts. I should stop, but they keep wearing them so I feel like that's a sign to keep going.

Question for Godot devs. Working on my first game and I have a section where the user inputs text into an old school terminal. How would you handle unique input steps such as creating a username/password and searching a site, ect? Currently I am using a statemachine but its getting bloated.

@berrybebop.com I deeply appreciated your recent video. You did a wonderful job of balancing humor and gravitas that comes from a subject that is often looked upon with little to no seriousness. Excellent work!

I say this with as much gravitas as I can muster. The only thing that can save us all now is a pair of big naturals.
