When I try something new with my appearance and someone tells me I look great, regardless of their actual opinion. I straightened my hair a couple months ago and when I walked into work a bunch of people told me how good I looked and I think about that fondly probably every other day.

@drewgmackie.bsky.social @iwritewrongs.bsky.social Just read update & have no particular thoughts, but also thought it was maybe a good time to just say how much I love your work, your dynamic together, and that GEE has been one of my favorite things in this world for the past 5 years. Thank you ❤️

I made a needlessly accurate lockpicking simulation (don't get excited, you just click a couple button and the computer tells you how things went down) about 12 years ago. Impressively (thanks jsfiddle!) it still exists: jsfiddle.net/41emqzy4/

well rats...did not catch that TinyLetter was shut down last year and definitely did not manage to export my writing. The last few days I have been trying to cobble together everything I've written on random platforms to just host it all myself to avoid exactly this, but clearly I'm too late :(

If you are following me I assume you've already come across this, but just in case, here you go. Hideous. Long stopped using their services, finding it obnoxious to actually delete, but muddling through. Turns out they make you wait a month from confirming your desire to delete.

In 2007 I was on Wheel Of Fortune, which was genuinely very fun. Super weird moment while spinning, though, I had 4 PERFECT double-rotations in a row to land at a $300 wedge. 4 in a row on exactly the same wedge. Anyway! Was reminded of that while trying to find a thing I wrote a decade ago :P
