Spent my formative years watching (and occasionally joining) my dad do manual labor for a living. There’s a reason why I decided a career behind a desk was for me, and doing manual labor is a nice diversion in my spare time.

Any idea what Oracle CDS are doing? Based on my amateur understanding of debt markets, it seems that the cost to insure their debt should be going through the roof right about now.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Kinda weird that the network owned by the company whose CEO is the son of the chairman of one of the big AI data center providers would go all in on AI as a focus of their reporting. I’m sure they’ll be completely objective in their reporting, right? Right?

Yep. He‘ll Secret Service protection for the rest of his life, but I expect that whatever federal protection he’s giving to his family will likely go away Jan. 20, 2029

Ever since he decided to kill the Supreme Leader, I’ve thought that every member of the family will have to be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives

There was a time in the 70s (maybe it was during the Arab oil embargo, I was pretty young) where gas pumps were recalibrated to dispensing in liters because gas went over $1/gallon.

I think I was probably about 8 years old, and watched Blazing Saddles on a pay TV service called Channel 100 with a large group of family and friends. 8 year old me thought the campfire scene was the funniest thing ever. Pretty much every other gag when straight over my head.

WWDC is just not hitting the same this year. Maybe it’s the belief that people really do want the contrived demos they showed in the keynote. Or maybe it’s the way that you’re expected to pony up Deity knows how much money for AI tokens to use all the new fancy agentic development tools.

Just spent 2 hours trying to figure out why I keep dropping the chain on my MTB, and came up with exactly nothing. At least I confirmed the chainline is correct.

Participated in the EV Owners Circle at the Santa Barbara Earth Day celebration today. Had a good time talking with folks about the Rivian, and the gentleman next to me showing his 71 Beetle to EV conversion

Tonight the party in this D&D game is getting beaten up by a spider dragon, which is not particularly embarrassing, and by menacing candles, which is very embarrassing. The candles are upsetting and I think some writer at Wizards of the Coast had a very bad experience at Anthropologie.
