My handle is a Dune joke.

My toxic trait is that I call the Go mascot "that little blue marmot" while knowing full well that it is a gopher and I don't intend to stop.

Have recently acquired actual kittens and will discuss them at length.
I’m working on the weekend, and Bug is all curled up in his favourite hiking hat, keeping me company.

Yeah Claude I really rather you didn’t.

Saw a small bear this morning while biking back from kiddo’s camp drop off.

My hiking hat is no longer for hiking. It is for baby.

I don’t think I have ever been or will ever be as cozy as these two when they take over my kid’s bed for the day.

Made some progress on logs in otel-desktop-viewer. Just super roughly prototyping the front end for now, but the back-end is doing its thing and ready for review!

I’m going to treat myself to a pastry, then move on to metrics.

The kittens are fully enjoying their time with the large crinkle snake.

Patch got accidentally shut in a closet yesterday, and I’m not sure he actually even noticed?

The thing about Patch is that while his handful of brain cells are acquainted in passing, they don’t really interact outside of the daily stand-up, ya know?

Kitten update!

So… this is Bug’s brother Patch. He lives here now.

The smooth children haven’t yet realized we have two cats. I’m not telling them because it’s funnier this way.

Does this look like the face of someone who pooped on the bread this morning? He would never! (He did.)

Bug (the kitten) will not let me fix the bug (derogatory) in my exporter config. He swipes at the keyboard if I stop petting. No debugging allowed, I guess.

The smooth children have fully claimed their new furry sibling, and vice versa.
April 28, 2025 at 4:33 PM
Yes! Behold my new fluffy child! He is just so good and soft and I LOVE HIM! ❤️

We have acquired one (1) kitten.
His name is Bug. He is 4 months old, and I don’t think he has stopped purring unless it was to sleep.

The smaller child sure loves a nook.

Boston Dynamics is leaking.

My bigger kid pointed out that the smaller kid’s pet unicorn has a second face and now we are both giggling because we can’t unsee it.

But consider, if you go with “Christofascist Oligarchy” it can be sung to the tune of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

- a long-sleeved black thermal with rainbows 🌈
- an awesome Hawaiian shirt over the thermal
- a glitter pink coil necklace
- a green headband
- a dinosaur blanket blanket as a cape

There’s a time and a place for AI art, and that time is when I need a deeply unserious capybara doing non-capybara things and that place is in my pull requests, as a little treat.

My grocery store got a new Eastern European section and I’M GOING TO EAT IT!

The kids have reached the end of their dinosaur era (for now) and I was photographing these girls to put up for free on marketplace (dinosaur era gets hella expensive) but it looks like they are shooting an album cover.

🤷 Ship it.

When the kids beg you to put festive reindeer antlers and a nose on your vehicle, you put festive reindeer antlers and a nose on your vehicle.
