A list of 36 assorted things…1
All sushi rolls taste the same to me. All good though.
The NBA Playoffs are the best professional sports playoffs format.
Pokemon Crystal was the best pokemon game. Nintendo should have stopped making new Pokemon after Gen 2 and put effort into making better games, not more creatures.
Work + Going to the gym + Being a father + Podcasting + Blogging + Doing infosec training is HARD to pull off simultaneously.
Scrubs is the best comedy TV show of all time.
I’m glad I steered my blogging topics into more personal things and not just professional / infosec writing.
Going from two kids to three kids changes A LOT logistically. I’m finding it harder to understand how people manage it. How do you fit them into a normal car? Now I need a bigger house. How do you put three kids to bed? The list goes on…
“AI” isn’t going to work out. At least not the way AI proponents think. It isn’t going to be the revolution they think it will be. It just doesn’t work universally for all things the way they want it to. I’m not saying it doesn’t do some things very well, just that those usecases are more edgecases - things that the general population do not get value from.
I’m 36. The retirement age in the US is 67. I’ve got 31 years left to work. That’s a loooong time.
I love to play basketball. Not sure how much longer I can continue to play competitive pick-up but I’m going to keep doing it until I can’t.
Another thing on “AI”. I really dislike that “intelligence” is in the name. There’s nothing intelligent (as it relates to human intelligence) about it. Look at the art it produces, the prose it generates - cold and artificial. Look at the mistakes it makes, its confabulations, inhuman and wholly unintelligent.
I’m not a hat person. Kinda wish I was.
Putting on weight, specifically muscle-weight is kinda hard.
Moving off of Gmail takes a lot of effort. So much is tied to your email account over the years/decades.
My Masters diploma lives in a tube. Not sure what I should do with it.
I really quite liked season 1 of the Rings of Power TV show. Looking forward to season 2.
I wish I had started a blog long before 2019. But I’m glad I got goin’ with it when I did instead of putting it off even further.
I started drinking coffee during the pandemic. I never needed coffee before and was proud of that fact. Now I fear I’ve developed an addiction I do not want to lose.
I need to go hiking more. I look forward to the future when I can reliably bring my kids out.
Since I started working out about a year and a half ago I’ve drank A LOT less beer. I don’t miss it, and it’s had an impact on my wallet too!
Any money I’ve saved by drinking less alochol has been blown up by the amount of yogurt, milk, almond butter, frozen fruit, bananas and protein powder I’ve consumed in my daily smoothies.

I don’t know how people can sleep not on their back.
A lot of people lament the fall of Twitter. I think the death of Twitter has been an amazing catalyst for the open web and it is joyous.
I have an old iMac that doesn’t support the latest versions of MacOS. Need to figure out something to do with it…
Saw my first Cybertruck the other day. Truly bizarre.
Going to try to teach my son how to swim this summer. He’s 3. Will be fun!
I wonder how long this 2019 Mac Pro will last me. I wonder how long Apple will support it with updates.
11 days left in weblogpomo2024. Now it gets tough…
Golgotha Compendium: Fifth Temple is a great song.
Seattle is my favorite US city I’ve been to.
Advice: Get in shape before you’re in your 30’s and have kids / responsibilities.
Get a rice cooker. Game changer.
Go buy yourself a domain if you don’t have one. Do it!
I need to set up my Stream Deck (again).
Impostor syndrome is unshakeable. So stop shaking, you’re in good company.
