if my angst brought some levity to others, I consider today a great success

Pretty sure I dated myself with that reference

Well, someone followed me for two blocks downtown laying on their horn and yelling at me. That never really happened in my years commuting downtown pre-COVID

I typically post this so somebody can tell me I am an idiot, and these are the steps to fix it :)

Drives me crazy. I get random like 50 cent charges and I can never find where they're coming from so I just eat it.

nice

Someone just sent me these photos. Apparently when Dan Price was named entrepreneur of the year in 2014, he had this cake made to celebrate.

Because I talk about my blog in real life, three folks I’ve dated found my blog and therefore approximate net worth. It actually didn’t cause any real issues because they were all rad people, but I felt way more financially naked than I expected.

AI-generated influencers are going to be worth millions... and the best part is you can't cancel and influencer that doesn't even exist! LOL

Any type of “favorites” feature in resolve similar to FCP?

Just watched @aaronpk's @Identiverse talk on the state of OAuth. Amazingly informative talk. It's now required watching for my whole team. Very disappointed though, that the JWT shown onscreen contained no easter eggs when decoded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByhnIHLXJnM

If you want it…

I made this little Celsius / Fahrenheit scale for my iPhone wallpaper. My brain thinks hot 🥵 in °F and 🥶 in °C and I need to merge that. This always-there chart should help. Anyone want the Affinity Photo file to add your own image?

Spent the extra $10 and bought both kinds of washers at the hardware store to hedge against having to go back if one doesn't work

To people appearing on shows (NPR, TV, Radio, or meetings that matter)...
Your laptop mic, little headset mic, webcam mic, $40 desk mic, cheap lavalier you got on amazon - all suck ... I really do get you do this all the time. It doesn't change the fact you are ruining the show.

How do you all feel about Vegan Leather if you know it is *plastic* that feels like leather?

We definitely don't need more plastic. Do you think it's an okay trade-off if it means less leather? Feels like both are less than ideal, but I'm not sure plastic is a better alternative
