Today is yet another bad day for the technology and gaming industries.

My thoughts and prayers for all those impacted by layoffs.

Let's talk about options! Two great options:

1. The options pattern in .NET. Type safety, separation of concerns, and an extension library makes life easier.

2. The options to read about it! I'm blogging on my own .com, the EDJE blog, Medium, and devto!

Got a griddle for my birthday last week and I've been putting it through the paces.

Vibe cooking my way into summer.

Okay. So now I have a blog, but I have no way of knowing who reads said blog?

I need to implement tracking and cookies, don't I? And write more stuff. And play video games

Why is centering a div still such a hard problem???

Okay. Nextjs is really cool. Why are more people not using it?

Havent had one issue with vendor lock-in. Comfortably deploying to Azure SWAs.

Apparently PowerPoint makes for a good blog banner image generator. I'm really happy with how this turned out:

Spoilers: I'm starting with writing about Aspire!

Wrote my first blog post today. Unpublished as I want to edit it and get some feedback.

Also started rewriting some conf abstracts for final wave of CFPs this year.

Contentful weekend so far.

We have the answer! #GTA6 will be coming May 26, 2026.

Yes, 2026, not 2025.

Excited to see all the bets collected on today. And looking forward to other games finally knowing when they can release this fall through next spring.

Let open the gates to Oblivion!!

Okay, that DOOM controller is sexy. I may not be able to resist...

I have some big tech content creation goals and increasing community involvement

... But I'm also going to keep playing video games too.

Somehow the shrugman.com site disappeared and domain was available.

Do not worry, internet, it's been acquired and for the good of the internet it will return. 😜
