My hot take in response to this is that a hot dog is not a sandwich, but a Philly cheesesteak is a hot dog.

First day of the Fall ‘26 semester! My university doesn’t have a unified policy regarding AI usage, but I do.

Got a late start to this season of Pokémon Champions, but I haven’t dropped a game so far. 11 game win streak using Scrafty! Kinda scared to keep playing because now I don’t want to lose the streak, but I want to get the cosmetics from this season.

Sometimes you order a drink and they set it on fire. This was one of those times.

Little photo dump from the anniversary trip to Vegas this weekend. It was nice to have a laid back getaway before school starts again in a couple of weeks.

In Vegas for an early anniversary weekend. It’s been raining the last few days, so it’s not 110°, and my free room got upgraded to a Sphere view! Here’s a giant ladybug.

The mall has some sweet dinosaurs on display. (This is probably old news, I haven’t been to the mall in about a year, and even then I only went in the Barnes & Noble)

Wesley and I put together a bike rack on Friday, so this morning we loaded it up for a maiden voyage. We got a little bit of rain last night which helped keep the dust down at the trails. It was nice to get out and ride with Angie and the kids!

Kiddos PS5 was overheating and the standard dusting/cleaning didn’t fix it, so today’s project was tearing it down and putting in some new Liquid Metal thermal compound. It definitely needed it.

My kids are out of town for the week, so I’m helping my dad rip all the flooring out of his house.

A little photo dump from life lately. Summer break has been nice so far despite, you know, the horrors.

Here’s my reading list for the summer! It’s fewer books than the past few summers, but I also haven’t finished my list the last few summers, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess I’m doing my #weekinmusic thing again, so here’s a sampling of what I’ve been listening to in the last week.

Just realized that I never got around to posting my (aspirational) semester reading list. I don’t have any philosophy classes this semester, so I’ve been working through the Nicomachean Ethics and The Score by C. Thi Nguyen, plus a forthcoming book on philosophy of education.

Vegas Update #2: Ended the day with a 3-5 record with almost no practice, hung out and chatted with friends, and the kids didn’t have to play each other! My performance wasn’t great, but the vibes definitely were. Also: got some Detroit-style pizza. #PokemonVGC forever.

Touched up the coolest aurora photo I got tonight.

Cody @codysearle.com · 13/11/2025
I drove out north of town tonight. Unfortunately, the lights didn’t seem to be as far south tonight and there were some wispy clouds on the horizon. I did get this shot, though!

Cody @codysearle.com · 12/11/2025
I should have driven somewhere darker than my backyard, but it’s still really wild that I can faintly see them with all the light from GenPak!

Cody @codysearle.com · 12/11/2025
Some long exposure of the aurora tonight. You could see them faintly with the naked eye, which is insane for how far south I am!

I’ve been playing Ball x Pit instead of playing the GC, practicing for Vegas next weekend, or finishing Z-A. Some of the combos in this game can get pretty wild, and I’ve bogged it down to about 15 FPS on the Switch 2. I love it.

Cody @codysearle.com · 03/10/2025
I needed this today. 16 years of waiting and it’s finally here. Happy Protomen Act III Day to those who celebrate! Even now, there is hope for man.

Planted some trees, hung out with a dog, drank some daiquiris. Not a terrible weekend so far!

I know it’s going to be a hard sell now that the Switch 2 is out, but I’ve got some Switch OLEDs that I’m trying to sell. I’m willing to ship to mutuals, but ideally I’m looking for someone local. All 3 are complete-in-box. DM me if you’re interested!

Traditional first day of the semester selfie. I normally wear a nice button down, but this semester I went a little more aggressive for the first day. I’m taking Philosophy of Education and Theory of Knowledge this semester, as well as Biological Anthropology. #DestroyAI @aftermath.site

Tonight, I made some bbq sauce and put an 11 pound pork shoulder in to brine overnight. Tomorrow, the pork shoulder becomes pulled pork sandwiches, and I’ll cook up some homemade Mac & cheese to go with them. Should make for a decent birthday bbq with some friends!

Pokemon BW2 is 10th on my list. I’m in the same boat that many of these are interchangeable with at least a dozen other games if you ask me when I’m in a different mood.

Turned 36 today. Had a big silly drink at Chilis to celebrate. Also got an email confirming the kiddos Pokemon World Championship invitation. Pretty solid day!

I rode my bike today and it was nice. I’m going to try and ride at least 500 miles before I go to Detroit in July to offset all of the pizza and Coney Island hot dogs I’m going to eat while I’m there.

Spring in southern Utah means it’s 70° one day, then you’re playing frisbee in the snow the next.

Quick little life update: We got Angie a new car since her old one was totaled in the accident a week and a half ago. It’s pretty sweet! Looking forward to doing the PNW roadtrip we’ve talked about for a while now. I’m including a picture of Koro because he’s great and I don’t need a real reason.

This semester has been pretty unfortunate in a number of ways, but at least I have this to look forward to tomorrow! Normally I’d urge people to come, but I don’t think I have many local bsky followers…

Right now is a shit time to have to be in the market for a car, but it seems to be where I’m at. Angie had someone slam on their brakes in the snow this morning, she slid sideways a little bit trying to stop, and the guy behind her clipped her bumper. Damage is probably more than the car is worth.
