Maybe the rule is “if I still care two weeks after the baby arrives than I can get it” because sure, whatever.

it's amazing how once I start looking at anything with audio I start to think that I listen to music all day every day. I don't and I won't.

Can anybody tell me if "surround sound" is worth pursuing for just a living room tv setup? I have never bothered to have rear surround speakers for an actual 5.1 setup, but I've always sort of wanted to. I have a nice soundbar and have been entertaining the idea of surround speakers. Worth it?

I hate any time I get into audio because there's no ceiling to it. You can't just dabble and end up with "arguably the best" audio setup. The more you research the worse it gets. Video's ceiling is pretty low. Not inexpensive you top out quick. Audio never ends.

Considering between two different speakers upgrades for the new room, and I have to keep telling myself over and over again that doing nothing is the most correct third option.

One year to the day what the fuck.

I did a bunch of interior painting over the weekend. It's weird how home ownership just forces you to learn to paint. The worst part about it is that by the end, I'm much better at it than when I started. But then it's over, and by the time I have to paint again I'll suck at it.

I ordered 500 coffee filters shortly after my son was born and they are about to run out. I commented to my wife then about how they marked the passing of time and we chatted about it again now. She had the idea of writing a journal entry every time we have to order coffee filters.

I think the keyboard may be giving me carpal tunnel but it could have also been the month of picross I played on a Nintendo DS. Jury is out.

existing waste deep in a pool of your own technical debt is a privilege that few get to experience any more.

assert_eq!(331837854931968, count); this is nothing, but it's still a big enough number to boggle my mind and sheer scale of computing.

The Monday after Thanksgiving is one of the harder Mondays of the year. This year it will feel like a warm bath. We spent the last 4 days potty training our toddler. I can't wait to go back to work instead.

Hard to describe the feeling of introducing yourself to people you already know, but only through teams. You do great work, I'm just bad at small talk.

I wasn't a fan of either team so for this world series I was able to just cheer for baseball. And boy was it a good series for baseball.
