Notes

i guess it miiight be a little early for sakura

how are so many people still rocking surgical masks

about to take off on a nine hour flight with no wifi. fml

i have a contractor over to patch the ceiling in our kitchen and re-insulate it, and bro dropped his phone down into the wall 😬

i am so envious of this gnarled old cherry tree that lives a block away from me 😭 but wow, another great walk today. getting really excited about seeing these in Japan next week too!!!

me at the very moment the sun comes out

i am seeing far too many green beers rn

the thing i miss most about Twitter might be Circles. i loved having people i could post more vulnerably with in the relative safety of a Cone of Silence

i am extremely aware that ChatGPT, Copilot, et al. produce gibberish and hallucinate constantly, so whyyy do i keep forgetting that they can’t do math???

got to write some small batch, handcrafted, artisanal, raw SQL today 😗🤌

my absolute favorite thing about software updates on Windows is seeing an error message with a hex code pop up for less than a second before disappearing, and then wondering if my computer will ever boot up again

spent like 30 minutes debugging why my Apple Maps snapshot images for check-ins suddenly broke yesterday after switching from HTTParty to Faraday… turns out Faraday sorts request parameters by default?? why??? param order usually doesn’t matter but sometimes it REALLY does, like signed URLs

i honestly love daylight savings time

steamed some more eggs, with smoked shoyu, sesame oil, and a bit of crisped up shredded pork. i think this is going in the regular breakfast rotation

it’s time to stop it with the “shake your device to report a problem” pattern. i don’t want to see that shit in any apps in 2024 or beyond. “this Vision Pro app is so buggy. smh (literally)”

set a reminder to buy Ghibli Museum tickets for my brother and me, and i went to the website at exactly 5pm and was presented with this lol. RIP

my descent into the indieweb continues: now my posts have a little form to send me webmentions if someone responded to them from somewhere that isn’t Bluesky or Mastodon!

i just lost the game

i finally started reading Way of Kings and, i’m not very far into it yet, but the main thing that keeps me coming back is definitely Kal and Syl
