How do people who make video content imagine that their pets are interesting to others? Like, they will interrupt their video to show their pet that just walked in. Buddy you can edit that out. Imagine people with actual children doing that nonsense.

I have a soft spot for TUI interfaces but I'm struggling to imagine a case where it's actually better than a GUI (at least for apps running locally on your laptop). Data density, discoverability, typography are all better on a GUI and a TUI is no less complicated to code/maintain.

I've already canceled at least two big trips this year mainly because of airline safety concerns. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Feels like our long run of baseline flawless air travel is abruptly over, not something you can count on anymore.

I love it when the snowfall arrives on the weekend for a change. Cozy day for a workout, some light house cleaning, and setting up a new desk and laptop. #mnwx

I got my current home office desk from IKEA way back in the 2000s when I still lived at home. Finally at the place in life where I can upgrade to a new, different IKEA desk.

My daughter just told me the fake manosphere podcast they roleplay on the school bus. Her character is named Chad Gareth. Topics include red meat and macro (sic) plastics. The kids are going to be alright.

Next issue of "Port Watchers", my small, low-freq. email newsletter, is going out tomorrow morning. I'll be previewing a fun web/Racket project I'm working on, and that's the only place I'll be talking about it for a while yet.
