Saw a TikTok that said the Netflix show “Seacool” was in colors dogs can clearly see… so we turned it on. It’s true.

Highly recommend a Noah Kahan concert.

Just got back from a much-needed vacation, hiking Rocky Mountain, and then some time in Denver to see Noah Kahan, which was an incredible show. Roadtrip + hanging with your wife for 9+ days is unmatched.

Turned 37, tweaked my knee so bad I need to have it looked at. I think I agree with this Redditor…

Updated one of @techraptor.net's caching layers, and decreased load times by almost 300ms in every category (minus INP/FID)

They even gutted Top Links, so it's harder to tell what spam sites are linking to you.

Another 100% in the books. Vampire Crawlers is good. "Patiently" Awaiting Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes on Monday. Gunna get lost in that one.

Hard not to think the NBA is biased against the Pacers, if this is how they handle injury management, and don't fine other teams for just pulling lineups mid-game. This is all for the sake of betting.

Core Vitals stats via a RUM tool called RequestMetrics. Basically gives me real user metrics instead of just the lab, in realtime so I can see how the site is performing overall.

Rutledge Daugette @rutledge.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

After a Webserver and CMS update + some additional changes, our metrics are better than ever. Great to see!

Loved this shot of Carlisle during last night's #Pacers preseason game - for sure using this as a reaction photo.

I spent $150 (x2) on this game and all I got was this item that I can't use that's 100% included :) (x2 because wife is on PS5 and I'm on PC)

Some advice: look VERY VERY closely when looking at loans. Had a solar company come out and quote me panels, with the most predatory offer I've ever seen. Lower Rate? Base system costs more and you can't pay off early. Higher rate? Base system costs less and you can pay off early.
