The rare case where I'm driving and need to remember something so I hit the button to trigger voice memo recording on my iPhone. I talk for a minute and only then do I see the app is showing a "are you enjoying the voice memos app/rate this app 1–5 stars" dialog box. The recording is of course gone.

I sure would rather have one 6" snowfall than six 1" snowfalls. (I may soon get my wish.) #mnwx

Due to being unable to sleep ahead of a very early airport run, I finally was one of those people who finished the day's Advent of Code solution at 2:30am. #adventofcode #racket

Spare time project, started on Tuesday, released today — including documentation (always proud of having good docs). Create custom DSLs in #Racket that read TOML data and validate it against your schema. joeldueck.com/what-about/toml...

Going to see "Bugonia" tonight with friends, going in cold with zero knowledge but I know Emma Stone is in it so hoping for a fun La La Land musical experience!

I really miss caller ID. It was really cool to be able to tell who was calling you before you picked up.

In Texas, they're eating the dogs, the ICE agents that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating, they're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame.

Has anyone else noticed higher than normal human error around calendars/meetings lately? People missing scheduling meetings, scheduling them on the wrong days, etc.
