School called to ask if we’d picked up our kindergartner, because he wasn’t at his after-school activity. We hadn’t. We start panicking and get ready to go while the school locks down and halts all buses. Parents picking up in cars aren’t allowed to leave. They start a school-wide search.

My 6yo got home from school and told us very soberly, “I think I made a mistake. I didn’t finish my applesauce pouch, but I’d thrown away the cap, and I thought I could put it back in my lunchbox. But I’m pretty sure I made a mistake. And I don’t want to open my lunchbox.”

I hate how “AI”/LLM-generated content enables people’s ideas of how their “marketing” should be. It’s ok for the email from my YMCA saying they’re opening late due to snow to be simple—preferable, even!

It also really chaps my biscuits that AI tends to use bulleted and numbered lists in its generated responses, because that’s always been my best bet for getting people to actually read and respond to a work email. Nobody’s got time to read and parse paragraphs for actual substance/questions!

when my friends come over to spend quality time with me, i like to pile an assortment of food into my Harry & David®️ Pig Snack Trough and plunk it down on the coffee table before screaming “EAT UP, YOU FUCKIN PIGS”

It’s here and it’s wonderful. Went to order it as a shirt yesterday but they’re sold out with a note about having received a huge influx of orders, which we love to see.

Our 3yo showed us she's got a pretty good grasp on the concept of pronouns with a fantastic example of how young kids use words in creative ways: "You can pronouns-ce me 'she' and 'her'."

Advice from my 6 year-old this morning.

Largely the same sentiment for programming and GitHub’s Copilot for me. Even if the suggestion actually works — which is a big if — you’re losing control of your project’s architecture and the understanding of how it works. From there, you’ll soon lose the ability to grow, maintain, or fix it.

Stuff like this is so good for my imposter syndrome. When I wrote a little site in a weekend to deliver photos with Santa from an event I volunteered at, even then I had the images behind auth — the family’s email and an access code I gave them — so knowing the filenames wouldn’t matter.

Sometimes I toss the silverware haphazardly into the dishwasher’s top rack, intending to arrange it into the slots once I get everything from the sink, but then forget and run it with them all in a jumble. They almost always come out clean, which makes me wonder why I usually bother arranging them.

A joke from my 6yo son this morning: "Why does the spider like to build websites?" "...Because it always has a web in its sights!"

Something I just realized that’s bleakly funny to me is that absolutely no one is going “oh no, I have to leave Threads!”

I interviewed a 99 year-old Holocaust survivor a few years ago and we ate at Olive Garden afterward. She lived to 103. This guy could do absolutely anything he wants but he chooses to be miserable and will probably have an average lifespan.

The best one I’ve seen in real life was when my wife directed a summer camp and I was cleaning the on-property housing we were living in. Everything about the rest of the house was just as impressively gross!
