broox @broox.com · 25/09/2026I just had to deplane my flight cause they noticed a big dent on the plane. Hahah. First time with that one. 000
broox @broox.com · 24/09/2026The past 5 weeks: intense work, a wedding, travel (Minnesota, camping in Northern Iowa, and Detroit 3 times), birthdays, dog sitting for family, and hosting friends from outta town. With Hockey + Golf leagues and Chicago next weekend… this ass is deadass dead. Gimme 1 week of nothingness. Plz. 020
broox @broox.com · 23/09/2026On a flight that has a bee on it and people are very concerned, lol. One man is taking it into his own hands to find and kill that thing. 011
broox @broox.com · 04/09/2026Planned to camp for the holiday weekend, but since it’s 95°, we decided to head toward cooler temps and booked a last minute cabin up north. 010
broox @broox.com · 04/09/2026Tonight, I drove over the back of a 300 yard green, somehow hit a 5-iron 250 yards, and stuck a green over the trees with my 4-iron from the rough of the wrong fairway.. 216 out. I made stupid mistakes along the way, but also had some hero shit. 1-over after 4, 5-over after 9. Felt pretty good. 000
broox @broox.com · 31/08/2026I really like that Fleeteood Mac song where they say, I’m your second hand dude, I’m your second hand duuuuuuude yayeah. 000
broox @broox.com · 28/08/2026Had the best feeling round of golf that I’ve had in a very long time tonight. Took it easy, thought about my grandma a lot and finished the round with 2 eagle putt opportunities. I made neither, but still scored well. 000

broox @broox.com · 11/08/2026You ever wanna do something and it's just not workin out, so you try to do some other things to make up for it, but they're not working out either, so you have like 5 things failing at the same time, and you just feel like a big piece of shit? 000
broox @broox.com · 31/07/2026Tonight at golf I got yelled at by some old ladies on the wrong tee box, got drilled by a line drive golf ball from one of my buddies, and had a near hole-in-one lip out. What a round. Holy shit. 000
broox @broox.com · 11/07/2026It’s been a while since I’ve stayed up for 24 hours… but we’re home. 😴 090
broox @broox.com · 10/07/2026If parents can bring babies and toddlers on flights, just give us adult-only flight options, please, for the love of fuck. 8-straight hours of wailing and screaming on this trans-Atlantic flight. God. Dammit. 080
broox @broox.com · 04/07/2026Someone just said to me, “You are like if Bam Margera made better life choices.” 020
broox @broox.com · 03/07/2026We’ve been taking a lot of Bolt rides in Portugal. The EV game is incredible around these parts. China, Spain, and Germany are producing some seriously cool cars that we don’t get in the US. 020
broox @broox.com · 03/07/2026It’s midnight in Porto and I’m on a patio watching the Portugal vs Croatia World Cup game on a big screen with the Douro River and cityscape in the background. Drinking Super Bocks. 110

broox @broox.com · 16/06/2026One of the most creative, fun, and rewarding parts of building software has always been writing the code. This is effectively dead, and I don't think we've properly grieved it. It needs to be acknowledged, recognized, and felt. Then, we can focus on the fun, creative outlets elsewhere in the PDLC. 021
broox @broox.com · 08/06/2026Man, it felt great to be in Chicago with friends and family this weekend. This city is so alive, man. On to Detroit after a 5+ hour delay. 🙃 000
broox @broox.com · 01/06/2026Today, I got to play the course where Grandma Betty taught me how to golf. A twilight round on the front 9 with one of my best buddies and my wife along for the ride.

broox @broox.com · 31/05/2026Today, I got to build some things and fix a bunch of stuff up for my grandpa. Felt good to pay him back for all the projects he’s helped out with over the years. We also had Whitey’s butterfinger malts. And now, I am going to crash. 010
broox @broox.com · 28/05/2026Cash me outside. I’ll be spending the rest of the day swinging golf clubs. 010
broox @broox.com · 28/05/2026This morning, we lost the incredibly special, Grandma Betty. I often process this stuff through writing and wrote a tribute to her here: derek.broox.com/blog/memorie...derek.broox.comMemories of Grandma BettyShe was born in Southern Missouri, and had clear Southern Missouri roots. I was her first grandchild, and we always had a special bond because of it. She often called me her "number 1,” which always m... 000

broox @broox.com · 07/05/2026My therapist just suggested that I should take some ADHD tests… Also, I just peeled a hard boiled egg to slice up and put on my salad, but then I just ate the egg whole because I forgot about the salad. 030
broox @broox.com · 07/05/2026Tonight, I got to watch my uncle perform a collection of original songs that he's been crafting over his entire life. A sold out show, surrounded by loved ones and backed by some of the top talent in our city. What a special event. Proud to be a part of the Terronez family. 010
broox @broox.com · 29/04/2026My neighbor just came flying up the hill, skrrrted his car to a stop before his driveway, jumped out with a weed whacker, whacked the weeds by his mailbox, got back in his car with the weed whacker, floored it into his garage, 20 ft away, got out and whacked the weeds by his garage, then went inside 010
broox @broox.com · 22/04/2026Hit a 329 yard drive to the backside of the fringe on a par 4 today. Two weeks in a row of driving par 4 greens babayyyy. Now, if I could just dial in the rest of the shots. 000

broox @broox.com · 10/04/2026Golfed in the pouring rain with some buds tonight. We made it through 7 holes, then the lightning started rolling in. Wettest round of my life. Absolutely soaked and chilled to the bone… but there’s truly something special about golfing in the rain. 000
broox @broox.com · 08/04/2026I really do love all the ways that Donald Trump continues to prove that he’s a giant bitch 000
