Beastie Boys album Music on vinyl

After trying to figure out why a cron job was not working correctly for the past two days, I finally got it to work. Small victories sometimes feel the best.

I was making tacos and put some shredded cheese on the floor for Spike. For the next week he will go check out that spot just in case cheese magically appears again.

As someone who has recently joined a new team (well, actually, rejoined an old team that has all new processes), I’m going to start keeping a WTF Notebook. This is such a great idea, I wish I would have thought about it months ago. Never too late to start.

There’s smart, and then there’s NASA engineer smart and a code change that traveled over 15 billion miles in over 22 hours. NASA’s Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Updates to Earth.

I still remember watching this game.

Fernando Tatis hits two grand slams in one inning on this date in 1999.

Watching Detroit play Tampa Bay and listening to the Detroit broadcast team talk about how the Cardinals are struggling so bad offensively this season. Embarrassing.

Trying out FreshRSS on a PikaPod since i cannot figure out how to get auto-refreshing work with my shared hosting’s cron tab. Downside is PikaPods only refresh twice an hour. Still waiting to see if it actually works.

Remember when it was fun to watch Cardinals baseball?

Vinyl has arrived.

Taylor Swift the tortured poets department

Playing with a new toy.

Zorin OS on my old MacBook Pro.

Played around with Zorin OS and really liked it. Booted from a USB stick and played around for a bit. Very modern UI. Maybe I will find some time and replace Mint on my Mintbook.

I’m really enjoying the new Taylor Swift and Pearl Jam albums. Can’t wait for my TS vinyl.

Another classic game for the DVR.

Cardinals win the 1982 World Series.

Merry Swiftmas!

Apple TV notified me of Chelsea’s goal before USA Network video feed showed it. Time to turn off notifications.

I just saw a cyber truck for the first time in real life on my morning walk. I can’t believe people are actually buying that thing.

My dad replaced his ancient iPad Air 2 with a new iPad 10th Generation thanks to Best Buy’s $100 off sale this weekend. I can’t believe he was still using it because it was originally my mom’s and she gave it to him when it was getting too slow for her.

25 minute bike ride to start the day before it gets too hot. The wind gusts made going up some of the larger hills challenging but the extra push going down was fun.
