Ok, review of the My Chem show. It was quite fun. They did all of the Black Parade set in some mythic former Soviet republic, lots of theatrics, a dictator, a murderous clown, etc. After that they came back out as just a rock band and tore it up for another 45 minutes.

What if “The Black Parade” took place in a mythical Soviet republic?

All modern outdoor baseball stadiums also now have this specific condo building outside of them. Which seeeems cool as long as you love baseball?… maybe only baseball players live in it?

Baseball is best played in stadiums specifically made for baseball, but baseball stadiums are absolute crap for all other uses.

I’ve now seen both stars of Portlandia in concert. … I saw Fred when he was the drummer for Trenchmouth at a little punk bar in Des Moines Iowa in the early 90’s

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Today I finally sold a car that I've been wanting to sell for a long time but that my ADHD, the county auditor, and Nissan Financial all conspired against me selling. My long automotive nightmare is over!!

My father was a mall architect, and he predicted to me in the early 90’s that lots of malls would be dead in 30 years, even faster if they included a Target. He was right.

My review: I think a lot of people showed up for a evening with Pete Seeger, and Jesse gave them that for the 1st 20 minutes and then proceed to rock the fuck out for the rest including covers of "War Pigs" and "Come As You Are". This guy is legit.

I’m at the Jessie Wells show at the Val Air, and the opening band “Ratboys” was quite awesome.

I remember as a kid in Iowa schools I was taught that Amana was proof that communism doesn’t work. And well, it wasn’t exactly communism, and also it did work for a long time. I wouldn’t call it a failure. Kids not being into their parent’s religion was most of the problem

Stopped in Amana today and that’s a whole very interesting thing that happened. Also I got the BEST popcorn.

The other day I was having the robot upgrade a dependency and it got to a method it couldn’t fix. I tried all the models, none of them could do it. It was just one little method. They all faceplanted on it. Absolutely fascinating. I fixed it myself in 2 minutes

Somehow “Syntax Error” doesn’t sell me. Especially when you remember having to deal with low quality disks that had a habit of erroring out.

After repeated listens I’m going to finally take a stand and say that “Use Your Illusion I” > “Use Your Illusion II”. Although there are specific songs on II that are better than the majority of I. (You Could Be Mine, Civil War)

"I enjoy programming" and "I enjoy solving problems" are two different things. I enjoy programming for it's own sake. It doesn't need to solve any problem at all.

It’s a choice. And most important it’s your choice because it’s your language. I like it better than how Python does it

first off....Scott's great. But also back in the 60's IBM wrote this paper where they recommended introverted socially awkward men be programmers, and that was when they started to replace women at the job. Keep in mind "autistic" at the time ment non-verbal and not-independent.
