Penney is supervising without supervising. So smooth.

Mjolnir guards my glasses. Like it should.
A man with sunglasses and a black shirt with a silver chain around his neck with a pendant in the shape of Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir. From that hangs a pair of eyeglasses.

Tried writing a regex to filter job rejection emails (into a folder; I'm not a heathen). Accidentally fell down a rabbit hole.

Fun fact: regexr.com defaults to JavaScript instead of PCRE. Took me forever to notice. However long you think that was… add 5 minutes.
A regular expression (pattern matching) that covers versions of text including "have gone another way", "went another direction", "gone another route", etc. The pattern is at the top highlighted in green and some sample text is below that: "Thanks for your interest, we have gone another direction." with "gone another direction" highlighted.

Did I introduce Amanda as my girlfriend less than a month ago? Absolutely. Did I drop to one knee on the 14th and get a hell-yes? You bet I did.

The cutest pair of humans ever. The bearded one on the right is holding a whiteboard with "My Dearest Amanda, Will you marry me? Steve K." and four hearts - red, pink, blue, and light blue below that. The woman on the left is glowing as always, auburn hair and the most beautiful smile ever.

I’d love to introduce my girlfriend, Amanda. She’s amazing. I will spend part of our next coffee chat gushing about her.

Alt: Selfie of me and my girlfriend Amanda in the kitchen. She’s glowing in a black dress, auburn curls, and a warm smile. I’m grinning like someone who knows he got lucky.

This is one of my favorite tattoos. I got it during Pride last year. #tattoo #Pride2024
An exceptionally attractive man - bald, clean shaven, wearing glasses and a black shirt. His arm is across his chest with his hand resting on his opposite shoulder. On his elbow is a fresh tattoo, plastic cover still on it. It’s of a bandaid, in rainbow colors, over a puffy purple splat underneath.

I got the most considerate email from True Classic (online clothing spot) about opting out of Father's Day emails if it's not a good vibe for you (like it isn't for a lot of people).

#DoingItRight #TrueClassic #FathersDay
An email with the following content: Hey Steven, We know Father’s Day can be a sensitive time. It's an exciting day for many members of the True Classic community, but not every member - and we deeply want to respect that. If you’d rather not receive emails related to the holiday, click here to opt out of messaging. You’ll still hear from us about product launches, sales, and other updates after the holiday. (You'll be redirected to our site after clicking the link.) The True Classic Team

Wow, I woke up to a new Apple Music app designed for classical music. Time to figure out where all those bangers from the cartoons came from. #AcmeRockets #BugsBunny
An app with big buttons with composers, instruments, and one bust of a woman with the labels Composer Essentials, Artist Essentials, Periods & Genres, Music by Mood, Explore the Instruments, Composers Undiscovered, Ensembles, and Curated by Artists. An application with large buttons showing an instrument labeled with the instrument’s name. Piano, organ, harpsichord, cello, violin, viola, Viola de Gamba, Guitar. A screen of large buttons labeled Composers, Periods, Genres, Conductors, Orchestras, Soloists, Ensembles, and Choirs.

My 3D printed army is ready for anything. We picked up a few more from Becky at 3D Shenanigans locally and my daughter was kind enough to arrange them for me at my desk. #BattleMode #SixYearOldDecorator
A light brown wood desk with a monitor stand in the background, a Mac keyboard in front of that in silver with black keys, and an array of 3D printed spiders in black, blue, yellow, pink, purple, and a mix of all of those. There's also a single yellow duck. In the background is a clock with the time 8:23. You can see the corner of a post-it note off to the side.

The kitty cat Penny is done with her dental visit and ready for me to come retrieve her. I wonder how pissed she’s going to be at me. 😅

Long live Loop earplugs. I just got the Quiet 2 and they’re awesome. There’s no longer the little dip in the end that collects wax and nonsense. The noise in this kids play area is rough.
