mastodon 4.5.7

Core elements of me, in the chronological order in which they came to be pieces of my personal puzzle:

Musician, Techie, Progressive, Problem solver, Husband, Trainer, Father

Let’s exchange opinions, supported by appropriately tagged facts and anecdotes! Let’s do so with as much humor as humility, and with a goal that both of us walk away feeling we are better off having had that conversation.

OK here's a replay of a game where my kid absolutely destroyed me. We played in a big vacant lot just at the edge of town, and you can see his blue pieces WAY outnumber my yellow pieces.

(The ones with the red translucent overlays are ones that've been destroyed. Destroyed buildings are purged after 3 minutes.)

I hope they don't release a MacBook Pro later this year with an iPhone 17 Pro orange shell.

My ~2 year old M3 MBP is fine. In fact, it's awesome. I don't need a new machine. But honestly, if they released an orange one, It'd take more self-control than I'd care to admit to resist the urge to upgrade.

So the latest version of my territory game currently in development now logs (totally anonymized) transaction data so that you can replay on the web site.

Linked is a little test run I did downtown today when I'd taken my kid to his music lesson. Not a real game, just me and two phones walking around the block placing structures.

The bomb emojis are the artillery.

When I was 15 and 16, I went through a racing phase, and for those two years I knew just about everything about NASCAR and Le Mans, and quite a bit about the Paris-Dakar race. For whatever reason, I didn’t get that deep into F1.

The interest died out because literally nobody else in my circle was into it.

I’m watching a little of the F1 content on AppleTV, because it’s free; and it definitely scratches a nostalgic itch. I might continue to sacrifice 30-60 minutes each week…

Anyone else?

After all this non-consensual deep-fake AI porn from Grok, I think it's hilarious that my old Twitter account, which I'd stopped using years ago, is listed as suspended due to the fact that I put my Mastodon link in my bio.

Has anyone looked at large-scale stock market activity, e.g. big sales or purchases, on the day the attacks on Iran started? It seems like we got a lot of reports on that around the time the initial announcements and walk-backs on the tariffs happened.

I'm just wondering if fuckface's little friend group is getting heads-ups with every time he does one of his economy-destabilization actions.

I'm writing a guest entry for the company blog--entries are usually written by folks in the C-suite with assistance from the marketing terms, but I threw my hat in the ring...

And now I'm trying to use all my rhetorical flourishes. The big landing ends with a cavalcade of alliteration that I hope someone appreciates:

"...allowing you to scale every solution you build without having to manually manage burdensome branches of complex code within your workflows."

Wired: Working from home because oil prices mean commuting is prohibitively expensive.

Tired: Working from home because of COVID19.

Expired: All the f'ing excuses that wealthy, privileged people make for forcing people who could work anywhere to spend 5-15 hours a week stuck in traffic.

Got today's #Quordle in 6, as one of my new default starter words was one of the words.

Best. feeling. ever.

OK, next great device from Apple: the Nez.

It's a tiny, nose-mounted device that beams AR image overlays into your vision from little projectors on the bridge of your nose.

It's held stable by arms that wrap around and insert into your nostrils.

At the ends of those inserts are two tiny turbines which leverage the wind power of your in- and exhales to keep its minimal battery charged up.
