Cold and rainy right now. Had to take a break from the lighting setup to thaw out my fingers and get some coffee, the light running gloves I was using weren't cutting it.

Time to set up our outdoor Christmas lights.
ππ DEC 07 2024 09:20
Fun night taking the family to the Journey to Bethlehem immersive outdoor Christmas play that a local 7th Day Adventist church puts on every year and then joining my mom for some pizza at her house afterward.

Terrible luck (0 - 3) to start the morning with what should have been a decent Selesnya counters deck. Better luck with a Rakdos goblins. Despite the poor limited luck results had good fortune in constructed and knocked out six wins in Explorer/Standard ranked, cleared three dailies and picked up the eight wins I needed to finish my weekly wins.

Caroma has some seated e-scooter models with 20" semi-knobby fat tires. You could probably ride year-round in Downtown Spokane on one of those.

I really need to sort out my photo management practices. I've avoided Photos forever because I don't want to be locked in, but I turned on iCloud sync at some point and it seems pretty good other than taking up all of my 50GB iCloud.

After 17 years of development, Caves of QUD 1.0 is finally out (of course it's been a playable early access beta for almost a decade) and 15% off through the 12/12!
πΊ DEC 05 2024 10:07
With season 1 of Dan Da Dan winding down I'm excited to start watching Jentry Chau Vs. The Underworld (which I just heard about today). The Netflix catalog of interesting-looking animated shows is larger than I have time to fully explore.

The Mead School District just fired the Mead HS Football coach because of the massage gun bullying/racial harrassment incident a couple years ago and the resulting legal fallout. Surprised it didn't happen earlier to be honest.

Just got a warning for freezing drizzle just west of Spokane for the next couple hours. Earlier one of my coworkers reported that there were a bunch of slide offs on I-90 this morning that took out the Geiger exit sign which is right on the way to my uncle's house.

Second birthday of the week today with my son, Nathan, turning 17. Wild to think I'm only a year away from having three legally adult children.
π DEC 05 2024 07:44
Working on my first candy cane of the season this morning. Kind of bummed out that there isn't a candy cane emoji.
π«οΈ DEC 05 2024 07:12
Misty drive into work this morning, had to run my wipers a fair amount. On a whim took the North - South corridor and it was busy enough to reinforce that I won't normally be taking that route.
βοΈ DEC 04 2024 14:41
Finally fixed the Jamf server login issues caused by a recent AD/ldap change at work. Always good to make some progress.
π§ββ DEC 04 2024 07:52
Took a look at completing two blue dailies via the Midweek Magic Brawl event and then realized that there are only two blue FDN commanders and I've got to put in a fair amount of work that I didn't want to do yesterday because I couldn't find anyone who had already built decks around them.
π DEC 04 2024 07:46
Making good progress on at least one Christmas gift project.
π΅ DEC 03 2024 15:27
I've been fascinated by all of the seated electric scooters you can get on Amazon these days in the $350 - $500 range. Even the cheapest ones can go 10-15 miles on a single charge.
π§° DEC 03 2024 09:18
It's been a few months since I've worked with git so doing a quick refresher tutorial via learngitbranching.js.org. It's high time for me to implement a couple fixes on this microblog.

South Korea's President declaring martial law and then having the Korean National Assembly override this apparent coup attempt less than three hours later was not on my bingo card for today.

December birthday week is underway at the Gilman house!
π§° DEC 02 2024 11:46
Well, Ghostty is supposed to come out this month, but it's not out yet.
πΏ DEC 02 2024 10:41
I'm intrigued by Jude Law's new movie, The Order, about an FBI agent who faced off with a group of radical white supremacists in North Idaho called the Silent Brotherhood during the early 80s.
π§ DEC 02 2024 09:25
Finished going through my work Inbox after almost a week away. Fairly productive first morning back so far.
πΎ DEC 02 2024 08:32
I've got an idea for a game/simulation/story that Dendry would probably be well-suited for because of its storylet capabilities. I still want to do more with Decker as well.
π₯Ά DEC 02 2024 08:09
Frosty morning drive into work this morning with a band of half an inch of snow midway through the drive. Definitely feels like December has arrived.
π¦π DEC 01 2024 08:22
I'm kind of bummed out that it didn't occur to me to take the girls to run in the annual Turkey Trot at Manito Park this year. I've never done it myself, but it's a free 5K where you bring donations for the local food bank and it's on my old South Hill home turf.

TOT 1 - 1 FUL FT Deserved result for Fulham, disappointing post-Europa League drop-off for Spurs. I would have liked to have seen Spence for Udogie in the last 30 and it hurt not having Solanke (who was under the weather today and sent home).
DEC 01 2024 06:42
π€§ Last day of vacation and I'm pretty stuffy this morning. Scratchy eyes don't help. Hopefully, I'm not coming down with anything more than a minor cold.

π TIL: Burger King is Hungry Jack's in Australia because somebody already owned the trademark when they went to open franchises in the market.
DEC 01 2024 06:21
β½οΈ TOT 0 - 0 FUL HT Spurs playing with fire for most of the half. Maddison just missed a great free kick off the post though. Just as frustrating a game as I feared in the second half.
DEC 01 2024 06:07
β½οΈ Oops, Spurs - Fulham started at 5:30 am my time. Still 0 - 0, but Forster just had to make a big save.
