🗓 Microcosm - 2025 Jul 24-31
🥱 JUL 31 2025 16:42
Got hit by a nice wave of fatigue on my commute home today. Still feeling quite sleepy so I'll probably get some coffee soon.
📏 JUL 31 2025 15:18
Went over to the GU bookstore hoping to buy a 0.5 G2 gel pen, but all they had was 0.7 and up. So I bought a 5" ruler and called it good.
🥵 JUL 31 2025 14:53
Another hot one. I think we might get another thunderstorm coming through later today though.

Spurs 1 - 0 Arsenal
I missed Pape Mata Sarr's amazing interception and keeper lob from the halfway line, but caught a fair amount of the game otherwise while getting ready for work.🍏⚙️ JUL 31 2025 10:42
macOS 15.6 updates have been smooth so far. Will probably start pushing it out more widely this weekend.
🗞️ JUL 30 2025 21:22
With the renewal deadline looming, very happy to discover that my free NYT access through work gets me access to all the sports reporting in The Athletic that previously required a subscription.
⛈️ JUL 30 2025 20:43
Still wary of doing any Mac updates right now after the thunderstorm that passed through right after dinner. We're probably fine, but I'm feeling paranoid about another power fluctuation.
🧙♂ JUL 30 2025 20:41
Used a mono-red burn variant to get to Gold in Constructed today, but I have no interest in pursuing Platinum right now.
⚙️ JUL 30 2025 12:41
Alternatively, I could could just continue to iterate on the system I've been using and make the couple of improvements I've been thinking about forever.

Was thinking I would probably migrate to LAMB for my microblogging needs once I self-host octobloc.xyz and then realized today that it doesn't support pagination yet (and a tiny part of me died inside).
⚽️ JUL 30 2025 10:07
Looks like I can watch the pre-season NLD Hong Kong edition tomorrow on Paramount+, but I'm going to have to get up at 4:30 am my time to do it.
🌐 JUL 30 2025 09:11
Signed up for Cloudflare so I can create a tunnel and start self hosting my octobloc.xyz domain and subdomains in the near future.

Did a draft and played one game in Edge of Eternities (which I won). Seems like a cool set, but I think it's going to be hard to get to three wins in this draft.
🐶 JUL 29 2025 08:58
Dogs dug another large hole in our backyard sometime in the last 12 hours. It seems to have happened overnight or early this morning because it wasn't there yesterday evening.
🗓 JUL 29 2025 08:51
Finally revisiting my late 2022 early 2023 microblog posts. A little complicated since they were spread across three or four channels in yarn, but making headway.
🗓 JUL 28 2025 17:47
One more post and 2024 microcosms will be complete.
✏️ JUL 28 2025 17:17
It's surprising how much I would post on a daily basis here in my microblog back in January 2024.
🪦 JUL 28 2025 16:21
Just found out that a memorable professor that I only worked with for my first couple of years at GU passed away recently. Another reminder that I've been at my job for almost three decades now.
🍏 JUL 28 2025 08:52
Forgot my backpack (and main work Mac) this morning so taking this opportunity to operate in dual screen mode this morning with the m1 mini on my desk. Probably will do the same thing with my m4 mini going forward.

Kind of bummed out that my vacation is coming to an end. Felt like I was productive, but not overly so. So much stuff left to do.
⚽️ JUL 27 2025 12:20
Enjoyed watching England triumph over Spain on penalties in the Euro Final with the girls and Nathan. Thankfully, our local Fox station reception was pretty good today.
⚽️ JUL 26 2025 21:00
My Velocity viewing jinx continues as they lose to Sacramento 1-0 tonight.
📺 JUL 25 2025 20:27
Finished the Leviathan (👍👍) anime series tonight and wholeheartedly enjoyed and recommend it. Such a cool steampunk alternate history.
📺 JUL 25 2025 16:12
Dan da Dan S1E16: That's Like, Way Deadly! 👍👍 With everything going to volcanic eruption hell, Momo Ayase finally gets some help, but is it too late to save Okarun? Great Momo episode with a heart-tugging finish!
🏡 UL 25 2025 12:58
Moderately productive this morning and early afternoon (also up early as usual), but now I'm getting sleepy.🥱
🏡 JUL 24 2025 22:
It's been kind of a strange staycation week for me and the kids with Mary being over in Coeur d'Alene for a training conference for most of it. We've done really well though and even kept the house pretty clean in her absence.
🏡 JUL 24 2025 22:14
I was productive today, but hoping to get a few more things done tomorrow that I had originally planned for today. JUL 24 2025 22:06🎶 LIstening to Shadow Cell the new EP from Shirobon and Pizza Hotline.
🏃 JUL 24 2025 17:39
TIL: Spokane Valley has built a dedicated cross country running venue called The Course Spokane Valley that will even be hosting some national collegiate level races in the years ahead. This is going to be a huge resource for the community!

Spent my whole morning dealing with fixing a degraded extension cord we need for the pool pump, and that was before I found out one of my sons got shocked handling it last night.😐
