Decent mileage this year. Had a few weeks over 60 miles/week and think I progressed the most in those weeks. More of that!
1458 miles ran in 2025

Oh cool article let me just: - complete cookie consent flow - decline newsletter signup - close pop over ad - scroll down a bit to see if the article is actually paywalled - close auto playing video - read article one paragraph at a time between ads 2x the size of the content

What failure of biology is this that a man can not eat 6 doughnuts in one sitting without consequence? If anything I̶ we should be super powered afterwards.

I might be old school but I have a recurring desire to build a modern, not shitty, forum package with the intention of reviving the golden age of forums. The most recent generation of forum software (like Discourse) honestly suck - bloated SPAs, clunky unfamiliar UIs, outdated designs.

I love that undeniable flow state that I get in when... ☑ Copy pasting my resume into a job application ☑ Filling out diversity surveys (I'm not diverse) ☑ Manually writing cover letters for authenticity

Can't think of anything more burnout inducing than a full day of filling out job applications.

Is there a browser writing app that I can use like Google Docs that doesn't just absolutely smash AI in my face every five fucking seconds? I don't want to "generate" or "help writing" - I am here to write my own fucking words!

Oh no, now that my SuperBlasts are broken in, I might be a convert. I felt like they never fit and felt blocky but after ~40 miles it's they're pretty sweet. #running

"Colorado State Patrol" just called asking for a donation to in exchange for a license plate frame. The caller mentioned that I can put it on my vehicle so that "when we pull up behind you we know that you're behind us."

I have been using the absolute piss out of @anthropic.com Claude Code. Finding out what it's good at (React code with lots of examples in your codebase, relatively simple backend scaffolding) and what it's not (pretty much everything else). But it's astonishing just how time it can save you.
