Johnny Mnemonic was the best movie in The Matrix series. Followed by Constantine (The Catholic Matrix) I will not be taking questions.

I picked up Stripe's Maintenance: Of Everything some time back and just started reading it. Like it so far. Best quote fro the first section: "Sometimes maintenance involves shooting the shark." "Old systems break in familiar ways. New systems break in unexpected ways."

I took FEMA training 25 years ago. Best survival advice for disasters: shoes next to the bed. If you run outside naked but with shoes on you're more likely to survive than if you have clothes on but are barefoot. The FEMA guy had numbers for this. So... shoes next to bed, then relax.

I had the realization today: pitting LLMs against each other to review project work only means one thing. We, the brilliant assholes that we are, taught LLMs how to bikeshed. FUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Somehow I got myself roped into listening to the audio book version of The Impossible Climb, about Alex Honnold’s free solo climb of El Capitan. Great book. Then I watched the Free Solo documentary about his attempts to do it.

The things you can get claude to write with only a little prompting is just wild. I have a game camera. it has photos and videos on it. There is a bear in the area. This is now finding the bear across hundreds of videos and images for me. This is the height of sysadmin laziness. What a world.

Time for my periodic #databs shitpost. I (re)discovered the term Lakebase and, musing through the history and advances in data platforms over the last 15 years since the Hadoop "breakthrough", all I can think about is this: full circle. we've come full circle. Listen to your Chief Data Meowficer.

A neon sci-fi infographic titled “Nature Is Healing: It’s a Database Again” shows a five-stage data evolution loop: Database → Data Warehouse → Data Lake → Data Lakehouse → Lakebase → back to Database. A glamorous “Chief Data Visionary” cat with red laser beams shooting from its eyes looms over the diagram, alongside a fake “Best Human Latency — Data Joy Division West 2026” conference badge.

ReWatching Star Trek: TNG. I’m having a hard time reconciling that this show is almost forty years old. I remember watching this on live tv as a kid. And … The first episode of TNG is closer in time to ST:TOS’s first episode than it is to today. TOS - 1966 TNG - 1987

Screenshot from Apple TV

SEASON 1 • EPISODE 3
Season 1, Episode 3: The Naked Now Oct 5, 1987 TV-PG

So uh. I clearly forgot about this vinegar experiment in the pantry. I poked at the pellicle with a knife. It feels like a very solid mass of jello.

Currently 7 hours and 37 minutes into McPherson’s Battle Cry for Freedom and, honestly, I would have paid more attention to high school history classes if they were this interesting. I never thought moving to Colorado in my late 40’s would turn me into an American history buff.
