iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The real takeaway for me from this Pats game: looking at the visitors sideline (tv perspective), there is a bright spot of red around the right-hand 31 yard line which must be Ed Sheeran buried up to his hair line.

You call it a “business decision”; Aaron Rodgers calls it a ”darkness retreat”. @miketanier.bsky.social

Learned a lesson about calling game over, but we now have a three-way tie: 1 squirrel escaped 1 killed by dog 1 so tired it let me pick it up and put it outside Am I rubbing that in the pets’ faces? Reader, you know I am.

Made the mistake of going downstairs to play video games. Two dogs, two cats. currently down 1-2 vs the “chipmunks” (technically red squirrels) and I am the one of us who knows exactly where your man is. I keep offering him free passage but I think he may just feel safe among these clowns.

One of, if not my favorite, video game moments of all time, was getting spun by a cop in Vice City just as the sun was coming up and Night Ranger’s Sister Christian was blaring in my car radio at like 2am in real life as I hit reverse and made it into a Pay and Spray. Up there with beating Tyson.

I dunno if it’s hubris or some curse or what, but the end of the Chipmunk Crisis was actually like a four hour interregnum. So now it’s Chip, Dale and one even dumber than Dale.

If you see this handsome fellow today, wish him a happy birthday.

The Big Lad, a very handsome dog, looking suspicious as ever.

Not to pile on, but at this point I have Brennan Johnson with -3 goals for Everton *in this game*. And there are 25+ minutes to go.

Commentator misstated "set piece" as "set piss" but this being Everton, it turned out prescient.

I'll never tire of photographing the ever-changing river braids and estuaries in #Iceland with a drone. Just wish it was a bit closer... #DJIMavic3Pro #DronePhotography

A yellow river at the bottom of the photo meets a black sand beach, with the remains of a wave drifting away to the top of the photo.

All uphill from here: neighbor started shooting off fireworks at 5:30am. Not unusual for NH but went on so long I picked up my phone to see if it announced any beloved world leaders had popped their clogs. No such luck.

In case anyone was on tenterhooks, our Chipmunk Crisis ended somewhere around hour 40 in a 1-1 draw. One dude slipped out the door, one dude slipped off this mortal coil.

Day 3 of The Chipmunk Crisis. I now accept I am fully alone. The big dog hunts rodents like drunks look for their keys.

I was going to congratulate the chipmunk that survived 18 hours and two floors of our house having been caught by three different animals and yet I managed to shepherd out the door while one of the dogs and one of the cats continued to look for him. Except: apparently there were two of them.

I am at my dad’s for a visit and it is an inspiration to see someone already in the Hall of Fame still innovating about how to make more noise in the morning when you have a houseguest. He did something with baking sheets this morning that was entirely new to me.

You ever roll out of bed in the morning and sing the phrase, “shit, shower and shave” to the tune of Paul Simon’s ”Slip Sliding Away”? Because you can. And should.

The head of my department called me a "hustler" today and she meant it as a compliment. But all I can hear is Telly Savalas saying it with a sneer to Don Rickles in "Kelly's Heroes". I think I may have gotten old somewhere along the line.

Even as an opposing fan I appreciate Seattle’s embrace of the local. Both the fans as 12 and the guy with the best crank recipe in Olympia as their offensive coordinator.

This is literally how most cryptic crossword clues work

Screenshot from The Simpson, lionel hutz showing his business cards, which says "work on contingency no money down" and it has been altered with a pen to say "work on contingency, question mark. No, comma, money down, exclamation mark".

Bipartisan shout out to New Hampshire voters who insist on keeping political dynasties alive. I love having our elected positions swapped between two families like a casserole dish at Sunday dinner. “We want political change! But not right here.”

I've been designing adversarial PDF attacks for QA at work and after 3 weeks I am torn between two position: - hide under the bed because this world is about to come apart if even I can figure this out - start applying for CEO jobs with these attacks and buy a safe house with the money

If dogs could talk, them first thing I would do it tell them how much I love them. If cats could talk, the first thing I would do is ask what they think I am doing in the bathroom that merits investigation.

Rather than “late-stage capitalism”, I propose “kangaroo capitalism”. Like a kangaroo court, it has all the trappings of the real thing, but it’s a rigged game.

recently i was on a train and saw a guy come to his seat with an amtrak hotdog. he extracted the hotdog from its bun and sliced it into thirds. then he produced a loaf of sliced bread from his carryon and laid the thirds out on a slice of it and ate it like that. obviously i will never get over this

Always loved this line from _Breath_ by Tim WInston.
