My lack of sleep between 3 am and when I got up this morning is finally starting to hit
📚 AUG 15 2025 10:17
Had a really fun evening with Mary at Morgan Richter's book signing event at Auntie's Bookstore last night and the meetup at Zola's afterward.
🏡 AUG 15 2025 10:14
Finished my bulletin board backdrop for filming future indoor videos last night. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend.
😐 AUG 14 2025 11:56
Feeling pretty blah at the moment. Need to push through and knock out some stuff for work this afternoon.

Impressive how fast videos upload with our new Xfinity setup. I knew that would be my favorite part of the upgrade.

Spurs lose 3-4 on pens. I don't think Vicario was close to guessing right on a single one of the PSG attempts, and Tel's miss was inexcusable. On to Burnley.

TOT 2 - 2 PSG +4 Spurs bunkering in for the last 20 minutes seemed like a recipe for a PSG comeback. Very frustrating.
⚽️ AUG 13 2025 13:47
TOT 2 - 1 PSG Great shot from the edge of the box from Lee. Just left him with too much space.
⚽️ AUG 13 2025 12:51
TOT 1 - 0 PSG HT Great half from Spurs against a clearly rusty PSG. Solid plan and execution so far.
⚽️ AUG 13 2025 12:44
TOT 1 - 0 PSG '40 Micky puts Spurs up with the rebound finish off the free kick that bings around in the box and off the cross bar!
⚽️ AUG 13 2025 12:28
TOT 0 - 0 PSG '25 Great counter chance from Kudus and Richy earns a corner. Link-up play between those two was great on the move, and the shot from Richy was on target and tested the keeper.
⚽️ AUG 13 2025 12:20
Spurs set up in an intriguing 3-5-2 today with Richy and Kudus up top. 18 minutes in, they've looked up to the challenge.
🏡 AUG 13 2025 10:01
Finished my standing desk mod for my home office and super-psyched about how well it turned out.

Using custom schemas to setup configuration profiles in Jamf is way nicer than the manual way, particularly if someone else has already done the work and made one that works for you.
🚀🎮 AUG 12 2025 10:58
I picked up Masters of Orion on GOG a while ago, but haven't tried it yet. Turns out that there is also an open source cross platform modernization called Remnants of the Precursors.
🏡 AUG 12 2025 08:28
HVAC at work is supposed to be offline for at least another day so working remotely again.
🧰 AUG 12 2025 08:27
The pool vacuum I ordered works great for debris but seems to blow algae around even with the fine mesh collector bag. So I threw a bunch more HTH Shock in last night, and I'm going to vacuum again this afternoon.
⚽️🎙 AUG 11 2025 12:45
I've been listening to a lot Savinho discussion and speculation, but what I really want is Savinho has signed news.
🧰 AUG 11 2025 12:43
Opted to just order a cheap drill bit set from Amazon that should arrive tomorrow and not worry about my office projects until they arrive.
🪫 AUG 11 2025 08:37
Just saw that my building at work had an unexpected (and as yet unexplained) lengthy power outage yesterday, such that the data center UPS got down to zero before they got the backup generator going. Everything is back to normal today, but that's wildly inconvenient timing for Plant and IT teams to have to deal with.
🏃 AUG 11 2025 06:39
Finished first on a run with my girls for the first time in ages yesterday. I was feeling good, and I guess the oldest of the three didn't quite have it yesterday when I surged with 500 meters to go, since she usually comes in first. Most of the time, I'm content to chill and finish third or fourth since it's about building them up.
🧙♂ AUG 11 2025 06:31
Minimal Arena playing over the weekend. Finished a couple of daily quests and started a draft, but directed most of my attention elsewhere.
🏡 AUG 11 2025 06:29
Realized I could repurpose some quality plywood shelving we're no longer using to upgrade my desk and finally set up my green bulletin board again. Just need a little woodworking assistance from my father-in-law later today.
🏡 AUG 11 2025 06:24
Productive afternoon yesterday trimming tree branches in the backyard and garden. I was hoping to start cleaning the pool, but the pool vacuum I ordered didn't show up early like I was hoping.

TIL: Eva Longoria has a documentary collab with Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac (Also just learned about his name change- makes total sense!) about the Mexican football club she has an ownership stake in, Club Necaxa, and I'm totally here for it.

Switched to Oxford - Portsmouth. Lankshear has already subbed off, but Yang is still playing as Portsmouth tries to protect their 0 - 1 lead.
⚽️ AUG 09 2025 08:34
Watching West Brom - Blackburn this morning. It's 1 - 0 West Brom at 73', but Rovers are pushing pretty hard for an equalizer.

Very happy with the speed test results with the new Xfinity internet setup (finally activated yesterday). Upstream is now 41 Mbps, which is like a 10x improvement.
