When I was a kid playing The Sims on CD-rom on our family computer, I would get so annoyed when a sim would tell me they didn't want to do something then wander aimlessly from room to room crying. As an adult, I now see it's the most relatable aspect of a video game ever made. #TheSims #Adulting

I'm not one for processed food products but I'm feeling too overwhelmed to make cookies from scratch. These aren't grandma-level good but a hot cookie from the oven is hard to beat. Bonus: they're eat or bake meaning you can also scarf them raw #pillsbury

Happy to get this month's issue of @wired.com in the mail today. Kudos on their cover layout. Really captures the ethos. Articles have a great mix of well-researched investigative reporting, healthy skepticism, and a sprinkle of snark.

Happy SuperbOwl Day to those who celebrate. I present to you the superb burrowing owl, one of my favorites. The photo is from the Houston Zoo, many years ago, in my former life.
