The boys and I just made a marinade for chimichurri steak tacos. I love cooking with those two.

I tried to think of some #automation or #testing content that I could derive from that, but I stopped and just enjoyed the moment.

I'll get back to the content soon enough

On this day in 1967, the Spider-Man animated series swung onto ABC, bringing the adventures of everyone’s favorite web-slinger to Saturday mornings.

The year was 2025.

Websites still chastise users for not using dashes when specifying phone numbers.

BUT, other sites chastise users for using spaces in CC numbers.

Alas, I've used the last page in my last #STP/#STPCon tablet. At least, it was for something productive (school supplies).

STPCon and the STP community were a wonderful thing, and I do miss it! A big thanks to Inflectra to keeping that spirit alive!

The mindset is less “no user will ever do that” and more “not enough users will do that to negatively impact our business”.

The world recently saw the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. Those of you who know me know that Ozzy was at the top of my list of metal performers. I’ll miss knowing that he could show up on another artist…

With the passing of Ozzy, lots of people are posting lots of great tunes. I thought I'd post a few deeper cut, cover tunes he did over the years.

Would it surprise you that Ozzy appeared on a song with Was (Not Was), also featuring Kim Basinger (?!) 🤘
