AI thinks this game which is just starting has already happened. I liked it better when a web search was a web search.
“when did mexico last play a world cup game in mexico city?” —-> Mexico last played a World Cup game in Mexico City on [today], when they defeated Ecuador…” which is not currently true as the game is just beginning.

I managed some post- #kubecon #beertourism …I don’t know for sure but reckon I am sampling the fruits of my local Dutch hops rhizome dealer friend’s labors here. Brewery visit no. 355.

Wow. If you’re using Quickbooks for payroll you better do an audit RIGHT NOW before your employees get screwed.
Tech support chat…

Me: did the new AI payroll agent do this?

Tech: For this one probably that is why we are advising to double check the payroll payment method before submitting it.

Hazel started telling me this morning that this beautiful gal was trying to decide if we are the best local source of chicken nuggets. Took a while for me to spot the owl finally this afternoon(?!) in the walnut tree. Hoping it moves on or focuses on the rodent population.
Barred owl taking flight amongst a thicket of vertical sucker branches. The owl's legs and talons are outstretched above the tree limb where it was previously perched, its tail feathers spread in a wide fan shape marked be brown and white stripes, and its wings are captured almost vertical above the body with a slight motion blur ahead of a mighty downward flap.Brown and white barred owl folded wings and tail feathers viewed from behind with head rotated 180 degrees backwards toward the camera, black beady eyes framing a sharp yellow beak. The owl is seated on a grey tree branch amongst bright green moss. Green trees and grey sky are visible in the background.

Tonight: an orzo/farro chanterelle chicken dish with julienned Italian sweet pepper (the season’s last) in a light white wine/shallot/garlic/parm sauce and crispy pancetta crumbles. Backyard kale and homemade sourdough sides. Fall is here.
The meal plated plus a glass of white wine and cutlery.

March 2, 2019...our season (away) opener v COL. The league wants to have more of this.
Dicks Sporting Good Park, Timbers v Colorado, soccer pitch viewed from near one goal/corner and stands sparsely "filled" with fans wearing heavy coats, scarves and hats. Players are barely visible on the field, which is entirely white with snow but for the lines which are being blown free of snow with hand held leaf blowers. The stadium lights refract through heavy falling snow against a dark sky.

Voice based agents are such a help!

Text query: “Is my orca part of Spain?”
Answer: picture of a pod of orcas and the answer “Yes, a specific sub-population of orcas…is part of Spain.“

Spent about six hours skate skiing and shooting today. That was some serious work. Exhausted. But the most fun and perhaps useful “work” I’ve been authorized to do in the past two weeks.
Snowy biathlon 50 meter shooting range with biathletes laying prone shooting targets. Blue sky, light clouds, and snow capped mountains in the background.

There’s at least three of you who know what I’m up to. To my surprise it wasn’t too hard and appears successful.

My Delta 737 infotainment system today has sshd running at all seats. And a corrupted FAT filesystem. Need a headphone jack serial adapter when I fly so I can provide my own “entertainment”…the screen is definitely encouraging this with “Please press Enter to activate this console”
