a bunch of little RGB push buttons from Aliexpress finally showed up, but I've already forgotten what I was planning on doing with them...

Might be a sign I have too many projects

Soon we'll be solving AI-generated captchas by trying to figure out what the machine wants us to think the answer is

oops the writers of So Help Me Todd messed up:

"3752… that's an American Express card!"

Nope! There's 0% chance of that being the last 4 of an AMEX! For that to be true, he would have had to had 3 replacement cards and 74 other authorized users.

It's been over ten years so I think it's okay to vaguely mention my experience when the president and owner of the company accidentally broke the embargo of our acquisition due to timezones and really messed things up.

So I recently installed a motion sensor light, but now at about 8:15pm it starts blinking on and off every half second. At first I thought it was a one off glitch. But now I'm pretty sure it's because it turns on when it's dark, but it sees the reflection of its own light in the neighbor's window and turns itself off. blink blink blink.

Just added a new feature to my website's BlueSky integration:

If you remove the `staging.bsky.app/profile` part of the URL from one of my BlueSky posts, it will redirect you to the canonical post on my website! Try it!

Ok PDX friends, out of 3500 applicants, I won 2 tickets to a tour of Portland's wastewater treatment plant! Who wants to come with me?

Meet at 1:45pm, tour is 2-3:30, mix of indoor and outdoor walking.

Reply or text me, DMs don't work.

I had a great time at #NABShow last week meeting everyone and filming interviews at the booths! Check out my new behind-the-scenes video with a description of how I filmed and published these
videos the same day! https://youtu.be/snevS9H4_xs

Anyone have opinions about where to place outdoor faucets on a house? I'm realizing I haven't had outdoor space in so long that I don't have any recent frustrations with outdoor hoses to draw from!

Is the answer just, "everywhere"?

In retrospect, I probably didn't need to include "but I am not a lawyer" in an email to our lawyers

Now that legacy verified checkmarks are gone, this is a great time to make sure you have a link to your website in your Twitter bio and that your website links back to your Twitter account!
