A team contacted me asking if we could help troubleshoot because they stopped getting some email alerts. I don’t have access to their app, but I asked if they made any recent changes to an email DL or anything like that, and they said they decommissioned the mailbox where the alert were going!!!!

Trying to hype myself up for a TesseracT concert tonight.  I feel like I’m just young enough to still go to weeknight concerts, but I did take a vacation day tomorrow just to be safe.

The weirdest thing about North Texas weather is the delightful “Second Spring” we get this time of year. After everything gets baked in 100+ degree weather for like 10 weeks without a drop of rain, we often get heavy autumn rains that make everything temporarily green again before the leaves drop.

Say what you will about the Cybertruck, but there is something intriguing about owning a bullet proof truck that can also brick itself if your Wi-Fi goes down in the middle of the night while its doing a software update.

It’s raining for the first time in what feels like years here in Texas. I’m looking forward to my drive home since I know that Texans handle inclement weather like champs!

Nothing about how my life has turned out is a surprising to me as the fact that I love morning and sunrises so much now. Even as recently as 10 years ago, I used to think of going to bed before 1 AM as a moral failure.

“What if we reboot, like, Silence of the Lambs or something, but we slightly change it?”
“I mean, that’s been done. And it’s a little violent for prime time.”
“Well, what if we make it a little less violent … and we make it about, I don’t know, how about kidnappings?”
“Genius!”

Every piece of technology with smartphones gets progressively better each year with the exception of talk-to-text. Somehow that and digital assistants as a whole are worse now than five years ago. I don’t get it.

By trading for Damian Lillard, the Bucks made themselves somewhat better, and made the Celtics a lot better. The Heat are the big losers here though.

It shouldn’t be surprising that a team full of rookies and second year players with a back-up offensive line does not look great. Despite what Packers management says, this is a rebuilding year.

I’m seriously contemplating a career change and have it narrowed down to these two fields:
1. The guy that edits the bottom of musicians’ Wikipedia articles to say they are Christians.
OR
2. The guy that scrolls through Facebook/Instagram to reply with a laughing emoji at every article about EVs.

There’s a dude who lives in my building with a gorgeous turquoise Porsche 911 GT3. The other day I was walking in the garage and I heard what I thought was building maintenance in a side-by-side, but when I turned around it was the GT3. How can something that looks so cool sound so fucking lame?

After spending the first 20 years of my carrier in ops, “This is only easy conceptually. It’s extremely complex from a data integration standpoint,” is not something I expected to hear myself say over and over again to business leaders. Now I’m the asshole IT guy cold throwing water in their ideas.

Try not to get too worked up over 3+ halves of football, but Jordan Love looks like a legit NFL QB. He does not look like a first year starter.

Been awake for 39 hours now. I worked all day yesterday prepping for last night where we kicked off an IT application project that has been in the works for 3 years. And then I just kept on going. I’m at the point where I’m far too tired to sleep.

Who could’ve ever predicted a 39-year-old quarterback and an awful offense offensive line would not be a recipe for success?
