My favorite time of year… Open Enrollment where it feels like I’m one checkbox mistake away from dying in a gutter.

In retrospect, maybe naming my kid Eicar wasn’t a great idea…

The follow back UI when you have several people follow you in a short period of time is really bad.

Finally got around to doing the thing.

KMFDM 40th Anniversary concert in Chicago!

It’s the first of the month. Time to meticulously review the prior month, the next month, set up my notebook, and then chuck all of that work at the first slight inconvenience or bad day.

I’ve seen a few options - what are people using as a browser addon to send the current page into a local LLM (running in ollama as an example)?

If you’re old enough to enjoy that half time show, you should probably bend over to the front and touch your toes.

At our age, we need to stretch more.

Drink a glass of water while you’re at it. #superbowl

This second half is going to come down to which team can score more points.

What impact does curfew have? I assume a few of these players will need to head to bed shortly; it’s a school night.

So is twisters a remake or a sequel or just another example of Hollywood running out of ideas?
