Oops, I didn't realize I had Clarity (a Microsoft product) in there before Google Cloud. Sorry!

These favicons are all #Google products. I feel like we're seeing the real-time internal design team progression: • Our brand color is orange/yellow • But what if we added a little blue? • And then even MORE blue?! • Fuck it, all blue.
Screen capture of a browser bar showing favicons for Google Analytics, AdSense, Search Console, Clarity, and Cloud Console, moving from all orange and yellow to a little orange then a LOT orange then just blue.

I said to the #dogs “Let’s go watch football!” but all they heard was “ball” and now they’re at the door staring at me morosely wondering why we are not playing Fetch. Worst. Dad. Ever.

"Definitely more than 10." Because technically correct is the best kind of correct.

I just used my Mac's quick calculator to do 20*30 and I am shocked it didn't just say "Seriously?"

Arike has been all-time this game. Just unconscious, there should be flames coming off the ball every time she throws it up with the ghost of Marc Albert yelling “She’s on FIRE!”

Damn I knew A’ja was the GOAT but 2017 points per game as a rookie?! #wnba #aces #usanetwork
Graphic showing all-time points per game by a wnba rookie. A’ja Wilson shows as 2017 points instead of 20.17.

I like the #Denver #Broncos but every time they play that horse-whinney sound in the stadium I think someone called for Frau Blücher.

I used #AI to scan in photos of my furnace and air filter manual so I could order the right air filters. It worked great, I just uploaded the photos; it found all the right details and placed the order which arrived today! Yes, technically it's an air fryer and not an air filter. Still impressive!

Is a collection of short stories around the same theme / characters different from the collection of chapters that make up a novel? I imagine so, in the same way a whole season of tv episodes is different from a movie but I am struggling to articulate why.

Maybe just don’t drink poison? And don’t believe people trying to convince you they’re the same?

I just read someone on Reddit saying “you have to listen to both sides” to understand what’s going on in #Ukraine, specifically including Russian propaganda. That’s like saying “You need to drink equal amounts of both the poison and the cure.”

Finn is very smart. Cooper is … also a #dog we have. He did eventually figure out how to escape the blanket. Eventually.
Finn the red Heeler looking smart. Cooper the blue Heeler allegedly trapped under a blanket.

I can honestly say the seven miniature donkeys we had back in the day were among my favorite creatures ever. Just delightful animals.

In 2013 I designed a logo for the .ninja domains we'd registered. A rush job but I thought it turned out all right. Then came a post on an industry blog saying his leg looks like ... well, if the logo stays visible for more than eight hours, call a doctor. Redesign on the right. Marketing fail!

From my local Facebook. None of this is BAD, it’s just kind of an odd combo. Wouldn’t the self-defense just be turning the other cheek? #utah

#Fall is approaching, blowing in leaf color changes and hot air balloons. #utah
Hot air balloon over a suburban roof.  20mph sign in front of a small tree with the beginnings of fall colors. Small tree with leaves changing from green to red.

My new favorite quote from my boss (who speaks Russian) from earlier today while trying to explain something to the team: “Anyway, it's a Russian fairy tale so everyone dies at the end.”

I read this story about how Target sent this woman ads for pregnancy products before she even knew she was pregnant, which is completely irrelevant to the fact that YouTube is now serving me erectile dysfunction pill ads all day.

One of the few things I miss about living in the flatlands of Texas was watching storms roll in over the horizon. And rain on a tin roof. And BBQ, but sadly it only rarely rained brisket.

#AI makes it possible for people who don’t know what they’re doing to do it anyway. And it shows.

A key survival skill developed while working at cube farms was ignoring distractions. People talking, doors slamming, someone stopping by your desk to chat about what should have been an email, etc. Just ignore it. Keep working. This is an ANTI-survival skill working from home with your spouse.

No lie the people at the agency I worked for in Cheyenne WENT ON THE ROOF to watch a tornado because it was so rare there. On the roof! Through a broken window and with no ladder they were so eager!

One of my clients had a directory listing therapists in their network, which was called the "Find a Provider" page. I was THIS close to abbreviating it "FAP page" to her in a Slack but caught myself at the last minute.

Apparently I'm supposed to move towards being conservative as I age, but the exact opposite is happening -- the older I get, the more bullshit I see, the more radical I am becoming.
