On a brighter note. My Chinese finally paid off. I helped a confused manderin chinese traveler who spoke no English get from North gate to con c right as they were boarding. So I guess that wipes out that time that I couldn't help that Chinese couple in Duvall Washington.

A tradition of getting a magnet, even in unfortunate circumstances. None had a good one of the parthenon which seemed to be the (only) highlight of the trip. Not sure if it's just a generic bear with a tag on but it's cute. atlanotes.com/geonote/432e...

Thinking:" the user seems frustrated. Maybe we can post the logs they were expecting and it will make them happy. Write the logs without observing the actions coming back from the server. Perfect! "

I know everyone says this about their place, but Tennessee has the most aggressive and accident prone drivers I've seen in a 2 day span. I've seen I think 5 accidents over 100 miles and one t bone live in front of me in the same day.

Pretty sure one of those is a simba

Using Claude code is not a skill guys...

So we were supposed to be in Nashville for a week and it didn't work out for my husband. We are flying back tomorrow first thing in the morning. His leg is torn and likely needs immediate surgery.

There's so many bad ways this could have went, casino, music venue. I wish it leaned harder to being a Greek and roman history museum. But worth the $15 to walk into it definitely.

Not going to lie, I thought this was hokey. A fake replica building of a real one in Greece like "we have Parthenon at home" But really seeing the work put into the building and Athena does deserve credit. atlanotes.com/geonote/5515...

Went to Centential Park. A really awesome park with a different design that emphasizes large empty lawn spaces which seem to encourage people to use it. atlanotes.com/geonote/ed38...

Weird its in a totally dead strip mall with only it seemingly alive.

You almost never see a stand for PC games so that's impressive. A lot of Vinyl, open comic books, old VHS, a kung fu movies selection. A lot of really cool things.

Each having a very distinct collection. There's some assorted film trailer reels which is really cool. A lot of bad movies, only one that stands out is Miami vice.

Got directed to here, its a really well curated collectors store that seems to having the following priorities Music>Comics>Film>Games>Cards atlanotes.com/geonote/a1a9...

I just find Hattie B's sweetness and heavy on sauce to be out of balance compare to Daves. I like the potato salad, but if you have Daves' the hot chicken in nashivlle proper at Hattie B's isn't magically better that you have to go out of your way for.

So we are in Nashivlle. And we got hot chicken at the one of two places, Hattie B's. Honestly, I prefer Daves Hot Chicken but my husband disagrees. Credit to Dave, he has brought a good Nashville hot chicken to the masses. atlanotes.com/geonote/7fc5...

Fucked up a hotel reservation and it was 1am. Just paid the stupid tax. At least its a really nice hotel. Seems great for a convention. Big deal made about the made to order omelettes but, the breakfast i wouldn't say is any better than a holiday inn. atlanotes.com/geonote/939e...

It asks one simple question "how do you want to live." Most importantly it's not so arrogant to prescribe there is only one way. Whether it's quietly with the last moments with people you love, striving to be a legend, ending it on your own terms. It shows consequences of it all.

A soundtrack that regularly gets me to cry. It's one of the most important games I played. It says something very important. In the face of uncontrollably situations you still have a choice. Not a perfect one, theres no happy endings. But you can pick one you believe in and live with.

Just get the chicken nuggets. The quarter pounder is okay. Their breakfast is probably the best among the chains

Boris Grishenko (Alan Cumming) - I Am Invincible

Me on the plane after figuring out how to clone Mac addresses so that I only have to buy one wifi pass.

I had a network issue on the plane and thankfully Alaska free text wifi system still let you talk to gemini and I got it figured out.

There are solutions to this problem

We are experimenting with a workflow with generated specs that we refine as humans, maybe I'm dumb but the language seems so complicated and academic its hard for me to comprehend. Maybe I'm dumb, and have to have it dumb it down to talk about it in a junior developer way. Exec summary is okay.

standard club priority pass lounge. I know its amazingly impressive.

I don't know how but the Seattle lounge is completely knocking it out of the park. This is the best lounge food I've had with highly creative items. Wish the curry had more salt but there's a grand canyon between expectations and how this is. atlanotes.com/geonote/1b92...

The End of Understanding: Why Good Abstractions Matter

Anyone in software engineering should watch this, and see that the job is beyond writing or generating code. We have and continue to rely on abstractions we don't fully understand, but that doesn't mean the job gets any easier or less skillful. m.youtube.com/watch?v=3EUs...

The pikes cutlery shop has some nice spydercos and swiss armys. Some interesting Al mar exotics as well. atlanotes.com/geonote/77bf...

Never picked up produce at franks, and I can say its totally worth it. They are super nice and gave me the apple for free, and the green beans have a sweetness that you'd never find in any supermarket. Prices aren't actually that outlandish over supermarkets either. atlanotes.com/geonote/4b60...

If your at the hotel restaurant, definitely come at a time with daylight like breakfast. The area is so much nicer at this time, especially for a rare seattle sunny day. We didn't go for a balcony spot but we really should have. Fantastic crab eggs benedict. atlanotes.com/geonote/8eea...

I'm entertaining the idea of one shotting Atlanotes from this point. I think it's really a tradeoff of whether you want to take the time weaving a carefully threaded tapestry. Or wanting to untangle a mess the machine made. Supposedly the mess is getting less and less as the days go on.

I've kind of wondered what the thing was when we got older that "The adults don't get the technology, they are so backwards and so afraid of (video games, internet). We're not going to be like that!" was going to be. I guess we are here.

The noodles and pistachio are crunchy with great carmelized flavor, and the cheese has much more of a milk flavor than salt. Less sweet than I feared. Fantastically balanced.

One of the highlights is the Palestinian vendor serving Knefe. I had it before in spring district and this one is so much better. atlanotes.com/geonote/3bf2...

Pikes Night market. I wish there was more market participation. It's a little sparse, I wouldn't call it worth going out of your way for, but at least they are trying something past 5pm. atlanotes.com/geonote/65a5...
