I cooked from 9AM til halftime: smoked tri tip brisket style & reverse sear, smoked jalapeño poppers with honey & toasted pecan, cilantro pesto/chimi and homemade honey gochujang wings, smoked salsa verde. It was worth it.

Pulled this one out of the mental archive as “The band I met who wanted me to hang out with them and show them around but I didn’t have time so told them about some spots” m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqw4...

Someone has just booked their 3rd & 4th flights using my email address etc. and I don’t know what to do about it.

I get wrong emails all the time and try to let important looking ones know, but it doesn’t always work out.

Moving on is this playlist I put together that's a spiritual sequel to the Hackers soundtrack series. This is all carefully selected Amen Break patterned atmospheric/liquid/ambient drum and bass / jungley stuff. Over 4 hours long, no repeats!

Jinjé & A Brief Utopia's album We Invisible from 2024 is African percussion inspired dancey electronic music that is worth a go-- like a less-trap inspired Clap! Clap!

Here's the title track, which would probably do well in a public setting:

Gifted my first tomahawk steak. Smoked it to 123 internal, then seared on cast iron to 134 internal. It worked!

I really like the Letterboxed NYT Game and consistently get under the suggested but this 4 under par might be my best ever

Set up Karabiner-Elements with the "Fine volume control (rev 3)" modifications that map volume keys to `shift+option+vol` to force partial adjustment.
This is useful for devices like headphones or USB DACs that are too loud at the single volume box level but go mute when hitting volume down.

Just got an ad for a particular alliterative “wound-up coffee alternative with alcohol“ beverage after saying the brand name out loud a few times after receiving a can as part of a gift exchange. Never bought or web searched the brand, don’t recall past ads. I don’t think it’s just recency bias…

Forgot how funny this is! “Fake knowledge” is one of my favorite genres, and I love Philomena Cunk m.youtube.com/watch?v=9orJ...

Working on something involving data from King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's 2024 tour. Built the Spotify data fetching and cleanup stuff today with help from Cursor's agent feature (which worked better than the last time I tried it out).

More to come!

Wrote a little CLI to control the Govee lights in my newly-better-lit basement. General workflow has been using the kind of crappy provided app, getting status via API, then creating presets for the CLI and porting them to the Shortcuts apps on laptop & iPhone
