  • Releasing our little frog buddies today as they probably need better food than we can provide for them. They grew from tadpoles! Glhf my friends! 🐸

  • Finished reading books 1-4 of the Stormlight Archives. Book 3 was a slog for me the first time through, but now I am PUMPED for book 5

  • 1. Open the box
    2. Take out the microwave packet
    3. Throw the box out
    4. Put the packet into the microwave
    5. Fish the box out of the trash to see how long you need to microwave it for

  • I have all of these ideas for glorious things I can write. I can see them in my head, touch them even, right there just waiting to be let free.

    But then I have to actually physically *push* the thing through these crusty pipes that make up my mind. And it does not come out, and I just keep pushing, and pushing.

    And now here it is, this goopy pile in front me, and it isn’t beautiful at all, and the viscosity was gross to touch.

    But I guess then I pick it up again, and work at it a little, and try keep the original glorious image in my mind as much as I can. And eventually, it becomes something ok. And that’s just how it is.

  • Beating a dead horse I know, but Siri really is useless at anything even a little off-script.

    A conversation with Siri where I ask When do I have time for lunch? and am answered with There’s nothing called *time for lunch* on your calendar.

  • Interesting. chatgpt.com has started showing up as an inbound referrer to my blog for the first time.

  • Just realizing I have a lot less baby snot on my shirts these days. Kids grow up fast, let them slobber on you while you can.

  • Just wanted to share our little frogs, who have grown from tadpoles 🐸

    Two frogs in an aquarium tank with lots of mud. One brown frog in the foreground is sitting on a large rock. A second black frog is standing up against the wall in the background.
    A closeup of a brown frog sitting on a large rock. A second black frog is kind of visible in the background, on the right.

  • My bank sent me a one-time code to my email to login, which is fine.

    But then the email, next to my one-time code, says DO NOT SHARE THIS CODE WITH ANYONE INCLUDING US.

    ...except for when I'm going to type it into this form right now, right? 🤦

  • All of these fancy todo-tracking and note-taking apps that integrate AI. Honestly we’re probably close to being able to dump everything into a disorganized text file and asking the AI to make sense of it for us.
