My most ridiculous middle aged guy trait is that my wallet is a decrepit pre-9/11 relic that's stuffed full of old cards that I can't ever get rid of because at this point they're load-bearing.

It's a nice metaphor.

Hockey is cool and all, but the kid next door deciding it's time for slapshot practice while I'm middle of a migraine is a level of hell I didn't know existed.

I feel like my most controversial opinion as a web developer is that sometimes I really miss designing websites in Flash.

Getting close to launching Spanish support in Clearbox. This was a lot of work, and I'm super excited about it!

The big lesson I learned is that there's really no easy way to set up an app for localization and then have it be edited by someone non-technical.

Man, I feel like some marketing guy at Utz walked out of work on Friday feeling pretty damn good about his idea for an edgy, "Liquid Death but make it for potato chips" campaign and the president just flat-out ruined it.

Major junior hockey is fun to watch. It's high skill enough to be entertaining, but not too high and you still get people randomly falling down a lot.

I'm pretty late with this take, but the Cracker barrel logo should just be a picture of their hash brown casserole because that's BY FAR the best thing about that place.

Spent my summer learning as much as I could about immigration law to fill in the awkward gaps I kept running into talking to customers. The immigration system in the US is wild, and I probably still only have about a 10% understanding of it, but that's a lot better than the 0.5% I had before!

Just saw Coolie in the theater. I know very little about Indian cinema and I'm SO confused right now but it was super fun.

Tennessee politics are fun because they're all very bad people and every now and then one of them gets kicked by a horse.

Just watched RRR. Holy shit.

Fun feature of 40+ year old human bodies. Just when you're getting fed up with how frail and sore everything feels, all you have to do is sneeze wrong and you unlock a couple day preview of what a 90 year old body feels like.

Coding a web app that does OCR to pull data out of scanned docs is fun because it's a constant game of asking yourself if the thing you're currently doing is simply regular insane or is it crosses the line into EGREGIOUSLY insane?

Having one of those once-a-decade days where I'm super in the mood for sweaty, fat, kung-fu era Elvis.

I think I need to re-think my "90s hardcore bands shouldn't re-unite because there's no way dudes in their 50s can make that kind of music anymore" stance that I've had forever...

...Because the new Deadguy EP is SHOCKINGLY good.
