Officiating the wedding of two dear friends in a week and I'm calling my shots in the Google Doc for the speech / vows / ring exchange.

These guys sold me on old cheese from a Washington university, I trust ‘em. Also, statistically I’ve never contributed to a campaign that has not won, so here we go.

$100 or else I’ll wonder if I am doing too little or too much. I am not a moderate spender, and my emotions tend to get carried away.

Saving this as memory of that two week span in July where I was going to own cleanpiss(dot)biz and cleanurine(dot)com until doing enough research to know that a great number of states would absolutely want to speak to me in a legally troublesome fashion. Another dream deferred.

It's gotta suck to be Chris van Tulleken. I had no idea who he was, and it seems he's best known as a brother of someone else.

For more than a decade I’ve been living two years in the future at Google Cloud, so it’s funny that a substantial award took a year to arrive. If you’re a customer of distinct size, and want to know what 2028 will feel like, bang my line any time: raddude@google.com And now back to work.

If you spot me at Google Cloud Next this week, let’s make a secret handshake. I’ll be helping run the Developer Theater. Tech checks today went well and I can’t wait to see what happens when 35,000 cloud maniacs roll over everything available.

Every day, Discogs offers me hope, then despair. Someday someone will misprice one of these albums and I will Swoop In.

Kaseem Ryan made a few fantastic albums before passing away. Some were released on vinyl, and they are incredibly rare and costly, while being freely available on streaming platforms.

I gave out 25 pounds this year, but those three aren't from me. It's become too much of a 'thing' so I'm probably swapping to onions next year.

@arbitral.bsky.social I think you were on of the people who got the original gold pin. Working on the upgrade, and will bug you for a mailing address when these come in (probably around March)

Hacker voice: I'm in (Holy moly, it worked.) I might share some of the goofiest stuff but will not be sharing the whole thing. It's good to let those years sleep. Also looks like I was able to get in up until 2010, but had not been posting.
