I muted Andor today as a term.

This was a long weekend so I worked out more than normal and was zonked almost every day. Today I ran a light 30 minutes (target heart rate around 142) and it was so easy. I wish one and two weren’t related.

I’ve created a bubble here on bluesky. It is people who like Andor.

This plus the music and sound design is amazing and adds such depth.

Oh 1994. Also how is it still there?!

Oh Belgium 😳

BREAKING: Pope Francis has died, Cardinal Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican camerlengo announced.

AI travel websites are so so bad. It’s the universal issue where you start reading and it’s been several paragraphs and nothing has been communicated but also I’m confused.

The teen is going to Antwerp tonight to see a Swedish metal show. So proud.

I don't think there will ever be anything more Dutch than a guy called Jop de Vrieze discussing cycling, drinking and trams all in one. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/w...

I swear I graded this paper once.

I believe the crown princess of Belgium is currently an international student at Harvard.

Last week I went on a hiking vacation. Today was my first interval run after vacation (but not my first run). Wow did I lose ground!

Flemish government tightens rules on hiring non-EU workers drawing criticism from employers

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

I work a lot on enterprise systems with uh complex legacy requirements. This is because I like hard problems. My PhD helped me become comfortable with ambiguity, missing info, and uncertain authority. Oh my gosh would it be “easier” to metaphorically burn it all down and start again.

Good morning.

Today we also saw some whales. After that cow blocked our path, we noticed the giant angry pig in a tiny shed. No pictures but it did not get out of its shed.

We are sitting at a beautiful spot for dinner and I sent it to my mom who … just parked at the Grand Canyon with my nephews (and sis and BIL and my dad).
