Just saw the best Sarr man of the match reaction meme showing him in front of his outrageous heat map on Reddit: "Do we need a new role for AMC in FM26 for a box to box 10 or something? They can call it Rocinante."

MCI 0-2 TOT FT Cityโs bogey team goes top of the table!
โฝ๏ธ AUG 23 2025 05:27
MCI 0-2 TOT 47โ Paulinha cleans up the mess in the City box. Spurs have been good today but they've also been playing a Bizarro mistake-prown version of City.
โฝ๏ธ AUG 23 2025 05:13
MCI 0 - 1 TOT 36โ Brennan Johnson does it again! City looking shockingly human so far this half.

Overcast has more interesting podcast listening stats than I had realized, but I'd kind of like to have a more distinct weekly breakdown of the specific podcasts and episodes that I could quickly dump into the listening section of my Week Notes.
๐ AUG 22 2025 12:12
Figured out how to do a post meta image and description for my review of The Divide so I could link to it from Bluesky and have it look nice.

I was going back through my friend Morgan's old Preppies of the Apocalypse blog and trying to figure out when I discovered it and started commenting on her posts, but it appears that many of my early comments from 2008/2009 now show up as Anonymous.

$6 is like half a fun indie game or a month of blogging service! I'll probably wait until Punmpkin Spice season before I hit Starbucks again.
โ๏ธ AUG 21 2025 15:16
Dug an unused Starbucks gift card out of my backpack and bought myself a grande mocha. Being able to order online and pickup a couple of minutes later after is pretty handy, but I'm too cheap to do it very often, particularly at $6 a pop!

Last night's interrupted sleep is catching up with me. Feeling completely drained and listless.

Apple releases a bunch of point security releases (15.6.1 being the most relevant) yesterday so I'll be pushing those out over the weekend if everything goes smoothly with testing this week.
๐ AUG 21 2025 07:32
Got our insurance dependent eligibility verification sorted out this morning a bit easier than anticipated. The documentation seemed to indicate I would need to provide multiple documents, but our 2024 tax return with redacted SSNs and financial information was deemed sufficient.
๐ AUG 20 2025 20:30
Good 3.6K dusk run with the girls. Couldn't find my running belt so had to run with my phone in hand the whole way. Pretty dark by the end as well.
โฝ๏ธ AUG 20 2025 12:43
Not remotely bothered about Eze. If he always wanted Arsenal that's where he should go. Might have to avoid Spurs podcasts and social media for a while though.
๐บ AUG 20 2025 12:17
Blue Eye Samurai S2 coming soon poster just dropped as well!
๐บ AUG 20 2025 11:53
Fallout S2 teaser trailer looks great. Out December 17th!

Super annoyed to discover that my "3-day" SwiftScan trial from last night somehow ended up being a year subscription out of the gate. Refund requested and deleting in favor of Adobe Scan going forward.

The worst part of being in at work right now is still the crappy air quality thanks to the broken AC. It's fairly cool in the basement today, but the musty, dusty recycled air does not agree with me.
๐ฉ AUG 20 2025 08:14
The best part of being in the office are the days when someone brings in donuts or other snacks. This maple bar really hits the spot after a bummer start to the day.
๐ AUG 19 2025 21:17
Incredibly annoyed that I have to provide dependent verification documentation for our entire family this fall just to continue their medical coverage.

King of the Hill S14E1: Return of the King ๐๐ Absolutely, wild that it's been 17 years since season 13, but 21-year-old chef Bobby Hill skipping college to run his own fusion restaurant is probably my favorite part.

Mary is on her way home and the kids sound really rambunctious upstairs. Hope the dishes are mostly done.

Hoopla worked fine when I went to check out Nightwing 1 at about 5 am this morning so that was cool. I'm impressed with the number of graphic novels available through the service.
๐ฆธ๐ป AUG 18 2025 15:29
Tried to check out a graphic novel on Hoopla for the first time in forever and got a message that our library system was maxed out for today and I couldn't reserve anything until midnight!๐

MythicMike has a pretty decent Azorius Flyers deck for Standard. This style deck has been a longtime favorite of mine since first playing the Richard's Birds deck (of MTG Goldfish fame) five years ago.

They finally opened up the data center doors so we'll see if that improves the air quality a bit. I was completely ready to go home at lunch otherwise.
๐คง AUG 18 2025 10:18
Low air quality is definitely triggering my allergies this morning. Scratchy eyes, stuffy nose, and throat congestion that I did not have before I came into the office.
๐ AUG 18 2025 08:40
Not loving the musty insulation smell in Foley basement this morning. The temperature is fine, but I need some fresh air.
โฝ๏ธ AUG 18 2025 08:20
Romero signing a contract extension with Spurs is huge news.
๐ AUG 17 2025 16:30
I have to say that the new Sue Bird statue outside Climate Pledge Arena is pretty epic! Love the detail and subtle color variation.
๐ AUG 17 2025 16:23
Good 5k run with the girls today. Talked a lot about Argentine soccer players who have played for Spurs and all-time greats in general.
๐ก AUG 17 2025 14:39
Mowed the whole yard for the first time in weeks. I tend to be able to ignore most of the front yard for long periods because it really slows down from the middle of June until late August.
๐ AUG 17 2025 12:23
Something in my office vibrates with a high-pitched squeak when the furnace blower/AC is running, and it's finally started to bother me now that I'm thinking about recording more stuff in my office.
๐ AUG 17 2025 08:33
Time to wake up one of my sons so the girls and I can get in a quick run before it gets too hot. Just can't trust the pups on their own at this point.
๐น AUG 16 2025 15:19
Recorded my first office-based Axodys FC video since setting up my office. Audio felt a little off, so trying to figure out how to improve it.
โฝ๏ธ AUG 16 2025 15:18
Spurs 3 - 0 Burnley - Richy with a brace off two Kudus assists plus a Johnson goal. Great way to start the Premier League!
