Biking in Seattle is so fun, it’s kinda great I can get to Alki Beach using 100% bike lanes

lol I'm apparently just not lesbian enough, my small area on the waterfront isn't lesbian!

I can assure you from the multiple trans girls I've met in my building that the lesbian count is higher than average.

Gonna take my MacBook Pro in for repair tomorrow after multiple days of committing then canceling due to other things being more fun.

I keep thinking about building a capacity simulator for theme parks after seeing the FastPass video again. Could be a fun little side project that can make some neat visuals.

I'm trying out a few ideas on the new boot menu for Sprout. I'm half-tempted to make a TUI library for UEFI while doing this.

I'm rewatching the famous FastPass Defunctland video, and can we just take a minute to realize that the 80/20 split for FastPass to Standby (in FastPass favor) is truly insane? I would argue it's flipped or at least 40/60 Genie/Standby at this point, and that is so much better.

Okay I finally finished the Defunctland video, wow that was good.

So can someone at Disney please explain to my why the control center for Talking Mickey Mouse is 7.7 miles away from the place where the interaction takes places?! When latency matters to quality of interesting?! WHY

Working on the Sprout development environment, and I plan to work on the boot menu over the break.

Please remember to check in on people you care about today. You really never know what something is going through or whether they have anyone to lean on.

It takes seconds to reach out and make someone feel seen and heard :)

Happy Thanksgiving to those who have it!

🚨 BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all NYC students to carry a 3DS.

I hate to break it to everyone but large amount of electricity use and water consumption has been a problem in data centers before the AI rise, and it has only heightened it.

The problem is just getting more attention because it's more in common discourse now.

Okay we managed to make it work. Goal achieved ✅
We've been attempting to integrate "copium" as a concept into my LinkedIn posts and this has put me in the position of rejecting suggestions from my lovely team to include the word "huffing" in the post. I don't think I could sleep at night if I shipped the word "huffing" lmao

I second this. Communication of such things is very important, you never know what life will bring you :)
This is your reminder to let your friends know you love and appreciate them.

You don't know how much it can mean to them.

And with that said, I love and appreciate you all! My techies, geeks, weirdos, dehydrated noodles, and awesome peeps.

Thank you for coming along this wild adventure with me.

I am a very sentimental person and something I do a lot is channel that into making software. Much of the software I have touched has been made as a channel for an emotion I was feeling, as an expression of appreciation for someone, or from frustration.
