Some people store their money in gold.
Some transport it in diamonds.
Some protect it from inflation in real estate.

I ask: why not Mox Diamonds and Black Lotuses? Magic cards are small, easy to transport, and hold their value very well, even internationally

Me: "Why would people assume ill intent because of being asked questions questions? I thought people liked to be asked questions? Shows interest, makes them the center of attention..."

Other Me: "They don't like them when they assume hidden agendas."

Me: "What, like KGB agent interrogations?"

Other Me: "..."

Me: "Ok, who hurt these people."

I want to start digging around with creative coding with AI and ML. Where is a good place to dig in? (And also what is a good MacBook Pro build for endeavouring thusly?)

I know a lawyer who'd enjoy programming as a hobby. What's a good, short intro book (no courses) to programming and a language today?

Since starting my sabbatical back in April, I've not done a lot of tech stuff. Mostly been visiting friends at confs, climbing up mountains, sitting in hot water, and working out. (Also learning how deep learning works, but never you mind that.)

In the end I came to the conclusion that I miss having fun, at work and in life.

I'm making some life changes in pursuit of having more fun. Stay tuned.

Just sold my ballin' standing desk, G9 monitor, and mic boom all in the same day. Wow. Did I really just orchestrate a visa and international move all on my own? Such power!

Nothing scarier to me than a room full of people who know each other 😣

It is time to buy ANOTHER home office monitor. Last time I did the G9 ultrawide, which was MAMMOTH! Is there another you recommend I should try next?

So in the USA, I would write to my representatives to tell them to do their jobs. Who do we write to in the UK? https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/27/england-to-diverge-from-eu-water-monitoring-standards

Extremely excited to see The Boy and the Heron tonight. Who else is going to see it?

Spicy take, Dev Rel as a business function is losing value as tech influencers come with out of the box audiences and metrics that show ROI. Soon the entire function will belong to Marketing and be handed out to third parties in campaigns, just like in fashion

Today I learned about graph databases at a Neo4j, and it felt magical. I remember back when I went to a NoSQL meetup event over a decade ago and feeling the same then.

I freaking love databases. I can see how useful this one is for finding n-nearest neighbor relationships. Ugh, so cool!
