The algorithm knows all and is everywhere. This ad was served to me on Instagram where I mostly post food pics and watch chihuahua videos. I never post about work.

FitBit data on sleepless nights. The first three months of data were collected during the ramp-up period at AWS. The following period was spent working at AWS, then 14 months of job hunting, and the last three months were spent at my new job.

Me: Damn, I haven't seen my favorite 12 gauge bird shot shells at that price since before the pandemic. I should buy them. Also me: You haven't shot a 3-gun match in over 5 years. Everyone hates shotgun loading, and there are no local matches. Me: What if... Also me: NO.

My boss was retiring and he was a train buff. On a business trip, I stopped by the Whistle Stop store in Pasadena to buy a retirement gift. I stood there not knowing what to buy, when Gary Coleman walked in with friends. He struck up a conversation and gave me several suggestions. Nice guy.

I hate @gitlab.com They make it impossible to recover your account if you lose your passkey. JFC, @github.com lets you use SMS for 2FA if you lose your passkey. Do better @gitlab.com

It is hot AF in Texas in the summer. I like to watch Nordic Noir shows with lots of shots of snowy vistas and fjords. Started watching Woman of the Dead on Netflix, and holy fuck the main character is unhinged.
