Welcome to my microblog where I ramble on about hot topics such as things… and stuff. Computer nerd, serial Men I Trust listener, latte macchiato fiend, Snoopy's #1 fan, and generally silly guy (when not being crushed by the capitalist machine)

I bought it off a kid who didn’t know what a PowerBook was and asked to take a picture of it running Mac OS X Tiger because he literally was not alive when Tiger was out. And that, kids, was the first interaction to truly make me feel like I am unc. 💔🥀

Last time I was in Montréal was November 2021… can’t believe that was 5 years ago. Looking forward to seeing La Belle Province again — and attending VCF Montréal for the first time!

I forgot how utterly exhausting moving is… on the bright side, I’m getting lots of endorphins along with praise from my Apple Watch for the physical activity! 🤠

Our new policy limits student-facing AI use from 2-K through eighth grade, reflecting Norway’s approach: kids need to learn to think critically, use their imaginations, and stay curious.

I don't really know how to navigate this tactfully because cars aren't great in general and EVs remain expensive, but through the power of paying attention, I've managed to notice that electricity costs are so much more stable than the cost of a fuel you buy constantly to set on fire.

Apple… WHY did you remove the handwashing timer from the Apple Watch Series 12. It was literally a godsend feature for neurodivergent people with time blindness like me. This seems like a completely arbitrary decision because every Watch for at least the last 7 years has supported it.

One last (bittersweet) breakfast and get-together with some friends this morning to draw #VCFMW to a close. What a phenomenal weekend this was that went by way too fast. And now, with a frunk and trunk full of gear and a heart full of gratitude, it’s time to pilot my spaceship back to Ohio.

I’m not leaving with much hardware (except for my new PowerBook!) but I’m absolutely leaving with a full heart. This community is so awesome and I’m so happy to have seen both old friends and made new ones. #VCFMW 2026 is one for the scrapbooks! 😊

I hate AT&T as a corporate entity otherwise but holy f—k I’m almost saturating my entire 5 Gbps link doing my NAS backups to a data centre in the EU. This is straight-up pornographic for any network engineer / IT nerd….

Going turbo autism mode at the laundromat (I switched to powder detergent so I watched the machine run water through the dispenser to see the powder mix and now I’m sitting in front of the drum and watching the entire wash cycle because I want to observe sudsing and other performance metrics)

I recently got to visit Google’s campus and thought “haha wow they have a sign made of old motherboards, that’s so nerdy and cool!! This is my kind of place!!” Then I see news like this that snaps me back to the reality of how they’ve arguably become the evil that they once vowed not to be.
