Temba, his app cancelled.

That look on my face? Pure kid-remembering joy.
I found myself perched on one of those old-school gym class scooter platforms (you know the ones that always tried to eat your fingers), and suddenly I was 8 years old again—dodging cones, spinning out, and pretending this thing was a rocket ship.
🎉 My student loans are finally PAID OFF! 🎉
I didn’t bother throwing extra money at them—2.875% interest meant that cash was better used elsewhere. Strategy > emotion. Feels damn good to see that $0 balance. 💪📉💸
Serial killers don’t deserve cool nicknames. Let’s fix that:
Zodiac → Crybaby Coder
BTK → Xerox Pervert
Jack the Ripper → Coward of Whitechapel
Dahmer → Fridge Fumbler
Gacy → Suburban Slimebag
Stop glamorizing creeps. #TrueCrime
Spent way too much time tweaking my home theater chain and finally cracked it: PS5 → TV → Yamaha YAS-209 + set PS5 to Dolby Audio (not PCM or DTS).
Dolby Digital now flows cleanly through ARC, sound bar confirms it (white status light), and the audio is actually better
Moral: Specs lie, ears don’t
Becky and I wonder—what if AI + opt-in classroom cams could spot early signs of dyslexia, poor vision, or absence seizures? Not surveillance. Just quiet help flagging what teachers can’t always see. Done right, it could catch what we missed as kids.
I haven't gone live in a hot minute #phasmophobia #gaming #LIVEhighlights
My perfect president?
The kind you never hear from.
Because the country runs so smoothly, there’s no need for speeches, tweets, drama, or damage control.
Just calm competence humming quietly in the background—like good plumbing.
Government that works so well, we can get back to living our lives.
Let Iran keep low-enriched uranium (3–5%) for civilian reactors—not 60%, not 90%. It honors the NPT, helps with climate goals, and stretches breakout time from days to over a year. Zero enrichment is unrealistic. Smart containment gives them something to lose and gives us time to verify and respond.
15 minutes to fix 12 years of these switches controlling the wrong lights
Hakuna Mafuckit! You have to say it like you hear this.
Happy Father's Day
A before and after of this season's pruning of Ugly the Tree.
I found this cleaning. It was used by the school for our kids who have generalized anxiety disorder. It works for neurotypical kids, not neuro-spicy ones. It felt condescending to them since all problems feel like big problems with GAD. The school didn't know how to deal with them.
Spotify! Come back!!!!!
When most of the meat packing staff is detained, changes are necessary...

Metronet dug this in my backyard. They're digging a similar hole in the neighbors' yards. I think they'll use the tunneling machine to dig underground between these holes.

Metronet getting ready. Part of the fiber pulling machinery
The Metronet crew. I await my 5 Gb/s internet.
I don't like the term Artificial Intelligence. I prefer Techno-Intelligence. We got enough fake people to justify that.
I'm trying to feed an ethernet cable alongside a coaxial cable. It was getting caught on something, so I had to take a look.
This is there all the LA stuff seen on Tiktok Lives is happening
Should I press it?
Are they talking to him or the worm?
