I've finally decided to commit to making changes due to my jacked up cholesterol levels. My activity level is okay but, it turns out, man cannot live on chicken nuggets and tater tots alone. Okay, my diet was better than that but fruit and vegetables exist and should probably be on my plate a lot more than they were. I'm sort of leaning towards something akin to the Mediterranean diet but I detest most fish except in stick form so I'm adjusting things. I ended up making a whole wheat pasta salad today that was better than any I've had in a long time.

I'm watching The Bad Batch and am, once again, amazed by how beautiful some of the shots are. Some of the best Star Wars story telling happened in animation and some of the most beautiful. #starwars

I love my job but some weeks are less fun than others. This week coming up looks to be one of those weeks.

I love listening to General Conference. There are so many messages of hope and peace. There are two more sessions tomorrow.

Watch and listen to local and global broadcasts from The Church of Jesus Christ

View all upcoming, live, and recent broadcasts from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in one place. Broadcasts include ward sacrament...

I'm finally out of the Samsung ecosystem. it feels good.

"In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children"

I'm getting a new cell phone. I'm not looking forward to reconfiguring everything but I'm thrilled to get away from Samsung and they're stupid choice to cripple everything that's not Samsung.

I'm sitting here sipping a soda and wondering why it tastes so bad. Then I remembered, it's #pepsi

Happy Constitution Day! Let's celebrate the most ignored document in American politics!

I'm beginning to suspect that I have a touch of fructose intolerance. The last couple of days when I had a few high fructose fruits with breakfast, I almost immediately started having stomach pain. For years, I've known that I get sick to my stomach when I drink apple juice. Apples are a high fructose food. I just never seen the correlation with other foods before.

GM y'all

One of the worst traits of a creator media site is the tendency to reward the hottest, most extreme takes. For many of those, the rewards tend to be algorithmic growth and increased views. For nostr, the rewards are direct and often monetary. Is that "better"? Does zapping encourage or discourage more extreme views or does it make no difference? #nostr #sats #creatormedia #socialmedia

Congrats to everyone frothing at the mouth over the mob vote. The mob vote is now dead. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/the-future-of-minecrafts-development #minecraft

I've gotten very used to package managers and docker containers. I don't miss installing software directly from source. If you need me, I'll be compiling...

I really like my Logitech mouse but every so often it just straight up forgets that the buttons are supposed to do things. It's probably related to my KVM but it's annoying.

It's not every day that I see a buck this big in my yard.

Speaking of #Minecraft... I rambled on about Mojang's Minecraft experiment process in my latest podcast.

The first trailer for A Minecraft Movie is out and... I'm not impressed. Jack Black is almost always a negative for me. The style is interesting. It looks to be taking the basic story from Minecraft Legends. #minecraft

I saw someone insisting that price controls totally work and shortages are okay. 🤦‍♂️

I just finished reading "Just Stab Me Now" by Jill Bearup. It's a fun little story and a great translation of her Fantasy Heroine series of Shorts. There were a few spots where I actually laughed out loud. It's not high literature by any means but it's a fun fantasy romance that actively plays with (and subverts) the typical romance tropes. #books #bookstr
