S04E04: Reckoning with the Legacy of Colonization: A Dialogue on Native American Erasure and Resilience with Tink Tinker #acrel #amrel #AARSBL #SBLAAR

Yet another bout of morning insomnia, mostly from the whistling and wheezing in my nose that I can’t fall back to sleep listening to, which just gives me more time to continue to be exasperated that no one will buy this drill-driver.

Such a pretty day today. Working from the back porch 👨🏻‍💻

Reading news, drinking coffee on the couch, playing cushion for Jinx and her morning nap.

Working from home alone today. Managed to be incredibly productive so far!

I'm so tired today I'm drinking my coffee and a red bull at the same time...

Redesigning my blog with by @matt@mattlangford.com - Love it!

Day is not going to plan, but that's ok. Will just shift accordingly. Is what it is.

Good morning

Finished Shōgun (ep10). Lovely. Yabushige was probably my favorite character.

As of April 23, 2024, the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets are trending due to a dramatic NBA playoff game, the New York Knicks are in the spotlight for their playoff performance, Earth Day initiatives are being discussed following President Biden's announcements, and quarterback Zach Wilson is trending after being traded to the Denver Broncos.

I had a can opener but it broke so now it's a "can't open-'er"

Pet peeve: people who call fully functional software "abandonware" because the dev hasn't changed it during x time period. Bruh - if it works, it works. Just use it and be grateful.

Attending an early morning meeting today.

I can’t find my wallet this morning and I’m not freaking out. Maybe all this meditation is paying off?! 🤷

Independent. Detach self

Time to watch the Shogun finale. Held over last week’s so I could finish with a double episode.

Day After. Slow.

"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein

Today is a day to navigate transitions with balance and insight. Business moves made during these hours can deeply influence future trajectories, so it's essential to approach decisions with both emotional intelligence and strategic acumen. Recognizing potential in unexpected shifts could be key.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

I did buy a new car, btw

Here's to new beginnings! I have the itch to write more and hopefully it will stick this go around...

Just watched all (?) six episodes of The Butcher. Worth checking out if you like shows like Forged In Fire and weird niche competition shows.

Here's a tour of the Lovecraft eZine Podcast office:

Working on getting my new site shipped!

The Lego D&D set is such a love letter to both Lego and D&D. So many tiny details. Hidden treasure, secret doors, actual traps, lurking monsters, all of it. Even the monsters are the ludicrous classics. Owl Bear, Beholder, GELATINOUS CUBE.

It feels like many people are having a case of the Mondays.

Zzz.

Going to try to do some writing tonight. I have two fanfic ideas and a review for Adventure Gamers to work on!

i don't wanna do my TAXES AUUUGHHH

I run into this constant question in my head every 2-3 years that I want to change my domain name. I think ponder that for about another month or so. I feel like what I have works but then I think of all the domains names / sites I have and wonder if I should attempt to consolidate them to a degree. Unless for a specific project.

Obviously...

I feel my heart deflate a little bit more for every 30 minutes I spend in a meeting at work

Good morning! ☕️ I hope you all have a wonderful day! I'll just be putting in a normal work day and then, if the weather permits, I'll mow the front yard this afternoon. That's about it for me today. 👋

Things I’ve learnt this week: 🌶️ far too much about OAuth 2 🌶️ Liberia was founded by freed American slaves 🌶️ imessage can be used for protocols other than sms.

I’m waking up to one of those misty mornings that I sense will transform into a beautiful sunny, and maybe hot day.

Have I spent all day learning the basics of Strudel? Absolutely:

As much as I love to give Apple shit for things not just working when it actually does dam it’s nice

Staying inside watching some Vol baseball on this chilly day.

« [...] Tu pensa a un pianoforte. I tasti iniziano. I tasti finiscono. Tu lo sai che sono 88 e su questo nessuno può fregarti. Non sono infiniti, loro. Tu sei infinito, e dentro quegli 88 tasti la musica che puoi fare è infinita. Questo a me piace. In questo posso vivere. Ma se io salgo su quella scaletta, e davanti a me si srotola una tastiera di milioni di tasti, milioni e miliardi di tasti, che non finiscono mai, e questa è la verità, che non finiscono mai... Quella tastiera è infinita. Ma se quella tastiera è infinita allora su quella tastiera non c'è musica che puoi suonare. E sei seduto sul seggiolino sbagliato: quello è il pianoforte su cui suona Dio. [...] »

opening night!

Sunday morning gaming with cat cuddles is the best.

It's time for a cup of tea!

A Sunday that started off with watching an #F1 race and followed by an endless number of chores to make up for the guilt of wasting time on a race.

I’m oscillating between two parallel universes, each practically indistinguishable from the other. Except in one, this one, the toilet seats are lower.

Once again in the 10+ person prescription pick up line at Bartell's. An old woman asked someone to mark her place so she could sit down. In the short term there should be a take a number system; in the long run we need to talk as a society about pharmacy deserts like we talk about food deserts

Current weekend project is moving my x86 hetzner box to arm! Can't resist the price savings.

Made it through my first week back after a whole week of being sick. Still have residual fatigue. Hopefully this passes…

I just walked into a pole for the first time in my life. Is that some kind of life achievement?

Run off the bike

About to start streaming. Unfortunately, no Drehmal today, as Tamber is feeling sick, and Kevin is prepping for a big move and getting some personal time in. So I might play a few things, starting with Voices of The Void as my usual go-to! .

Excited for family time this weekend

A lovely week in Noosa but back to blissfully rainy and cold Newcastle tomorrow.

Ok, Miss Swift, let’s do this. #TheTorturedPoetsDepartment

Watching the last Kraken game of the year.

The walk to the bar counts as exercise.

Everytime I see the word 'queue', the voice in my head says 'kweewee'.

oh my god what is happening

I was able to get my school stuff sorted out, but only because my biology professor stepped in and got the ball rolling. I gave up on my Communications class because the teacher isn't...very great specifying certain aspects. I wouldn't mind taking that class again in the future, but with a different instructor.

slow week is slow

They’re cleaning the streets here now! So much better afterwards.

Okay. Fastmail is cool. I've been using it for a while now, but I only just realised that the way I have things set up, not only does it not matter what goes before the @, but I can have an unlimited depth of subdomains. As long as it ends with my domain, I'll get the email.

Working on finding grounding and fill my cup. I’ve been in my own way quite a bit recently.

I think I’ve reached my annual limit of backed Kickstarter projects

I go visit a friend, they serve me tuna sandwiches and I like them. Next time I’m at the store I buy cans of tuna. Today, I organize my cabinets and throw out years old expired cans of tuna. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s been a long time since I rode the ferry. It’s still so nice to go into the city this way.

Just finished Audible's recently released version of 1984. Terrific performances all round, a chilling experience from a chilling source material.

Every once in a while open the former bird app; it’s a bad habit i haven’t gotten rid of yet. I regret opening it every single time.

I finished reading How to keep house while drowning by KC Davies last Friday. Very appropriate since depression has been winning over the last few weeks.

I hate the sun. Moon powers.

It's a good day when you need to create a folder called "Kung Fu" for really any reason.

Blessed my wonderful family and friends 🥰

Hyper bowling today was fun, I started off strong but beaten by the kids in the last game!

Can I toot this?

I’m not at all sorry that I have a strong and sincerely-held belief that, no matter how well-intentioned it may be, a state of the state address by a state governor in a statehouse surrounded by state representatives and state senators and state cabinet members and state Supreme Court justices all paid for with state tax dollars should not begin with a prayer in Jesus’s name. There is no place for such a ritual in a public address.

Cleaning the house

Working on prints, cool client projects and discovering Obsidian.

So MREs do go bad

Guh. Too tired today

Was heading outside this morning and saw it was dumping rain. Thought hey my grass and micro clover seeds are going to love that. Felt less guilty about forgetting to water them last night.

Back to the Hochschule: My new course on web-technologies starts today.

Would it keep you awake if it all just didn't seem so far away?
'Cause it keeps me awake, trying to work this out until my dying day

A lil tired rn

First 5K of the year! LOL

Just tried removing the CSS from my site in preparation for #CSS_Naked_Day, it was just a bunch of ginormous SVGs. I think I'll skip participating this year.

Going back in time

I'm about to watch the eclipse

The weekend off had quickly gone, and this week I have a pretty busy schedule. Starting with a 16 hours shift.

Feierabend

Nice to have a week at home between business trips. I try to space out travel to no more than once per month, but this month just stacked up for me. Gotta enjoy the time at home while I can!

I finally finished my exams and entered the Ramadan holiday, I plan not to go to my family and spend a holiday with my friends.

Ending a weekend full of resting - a ton of Dragon’s Dogma 2, a bit of LAD: Infinite Wealth, so much basketball watching, some Vampire Diaries, and even watched a movie. Felt good, y’all.

Does anyone know if there’s a way, through iOS shortcuts, that I could set up a weekly repeating omg.lol status update. I’d like to post a weekly disclaimer reminder on my LinkedIn. Right now I’ve got statuses linked to a 3rd party that pushes to LinkedIn, but I’m not sure how to repeat the same status each week.

March 28 was my #OMGLOL anniversary... and I forgot to do anything for it, because I was deep in #StardewValley. Whoops!

Saved! And leaving Typhon forever. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Long time, no status.

Enjoying being on holiday, and not having to set the alarm.

Time to start rewatching Stranger Things!

This weekend I finished reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and it's had quite an impression on me. It inspired further research into the topic and kept me engaged every time I reached for the book. Quite thought provoking and motivating even if I may not agree 100%. Super interesting to explore different points of view and question my own opinions. Next up: "The 4-hour workweek".

Took some test shots for Sussexhenge. It went pretty well.
