Dogs are a net positive. And fall weather just makes me happy. Fuck a bunch of summer, ya know?

(For the record, I am using the gender neutral 'boy'.. I have no idea what Warlock's identity is, and I regret the assumption)

She loves treats. She's probably much more trainable in the right hands.

The Anatomy of: Talking Heads - The Great Curve

Advent of Doug: Day 11 My favorite song is still This Must be the Place, and I love the entirety of Stop Making Sense a bit too much. But this thing, this is quite likely my most commonly watched youtube video. The other videos on the channel are all fascinating too. youtu.be/LqTyfMDnK-k

You’re a good dude to be friendly with. Just saying.

Found it. (The pic. I know where the pic is. In a place of honor in my office at home) A custom made frame from a childhood sled? What’s cooler than that?

Last Calvin and Hobbes. In a custom frame made from a sled. A quonsar gift from Bondcliff years ago!

I always keep this at the ready bsky.app/profile/infi...

Dude at work made a Calvin and Hobbes reference. Wondered if I knew what it was. Broke out this pic and blew his mind. (now gotta find my bondcliff quonsar gift to keep him off balance)

my first ipod. Her name was "Weird Bugs"
and it is engraved "I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul" and is posed in front of a Calvin and Hobbes collection.

If you don't focus on how nothing about office life is actually better today than it was then, it's a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours!

I fear this is just going to push the people who love using the state to enact violence to argue that the firing squad is the right answer.

If you're my age (mid 50s) lots of the people you knew since before you could drink have fully grown-assed people they made running around. MOST of them turn out awesome, despite their parentage. It's just one of the things I appreciate so much as an old man, that I'd never have anticipated.

Day 9 The teen and young adult children of your friends. I admit this is a weird one. It's easy to get caught up in all the troubles of the youth n' stuff, but honestly, I find them fascinating.

In the old building I’d have gone to the terrace. Here I’ll sit in this parking lot for a few minutes and wonder why other people aren’t just stopping for a few minutes to appreciate this.

"You're right. That's on me." Did a chat bot admit it gave you bad advice, you may be entitled to compensation.

They should pay you. Your naming convention absolutely made it memorable enough for me to look into it weeks later.

So easy to just toggle back and forth. I cannot imagine how this will get explained in 50 years.

There's a field we use across hundreds of tables in our data, and the key is "ClaimId" And if I let my guard down for 1/4 second, somewhere in email or Teams we suddenly start talking about "Claimed." No squigglies, just flat out replacements that change the words.

Day 8 I had something else in mind, but this morning was a cool fall day, the ones that always start before my bday. Twice, large Vs of Canadian Geese went over head, honking. I don't trust birds, but I cannot deny their beauty. A light breeze, 70ish degrees, the sounds of 'fall'. That's today.

I made this “pun” 15 years ago today. It still haunts me.

Day 7 In addition to my aforementioned love of books, and what 'makes a book', I really like books that aren't just books. So what about a 'box set' made up of comics in half a dozen formats and fold outs, all telling an amorphous story about 'life' Building Stories by Chris Ware
