Let them die 💀
I know COVID has become a political hot potato but I still don t understand the folks that won t mask or get vaccinated. The delta variant has an R0 of between 4 and 9. According to reports that s as contagious as chicken pox and close to measles, which we have a vaccination for. Hell, Ebola, which [ ]
Working from home
Reddit: The space ship is all inhuman open workspace. The only people who like this kind of environment are managers because it is cheap and extroverts because it allows them to leech energy off of others so much more easily. But it is a soul-killing nightmare. A lot of the comments in [ ]
Windows 11
I m excited for Windows 11. It s nice to see a visual refresh of the user interface and hopefully some of the new top level improvements lead to a better user experience. I m just excited for the change and it really has me excited about my plans for a version of Stream that runs on Windows. [ ]
Hope and Worry
Steve Beschloss: Yet we would be remiss to ignore the many ways life has improved. So share your thoughts: How has your life improved since Trump was evicted? I worry less about having a sociopathic, narcissistic, idiot, misogynist, antisemite in the White House. All Presidents have their flaws, we re only human, but at least we have [ ]

I recently replied to a Jennifer Gentleman tweet asking if we d stuck to a single OS [ ]
Eastbound Day Four: Cookeville, TN to Charlottesville, VA
What can I say besides I m tired. That s about all there is to say at this point. We routed around road work yesterday which took us up into Missouri and back down through Kentucky. Beautiful countryside. Especially a little town in the southwest mountains of Missouri called Van Buren. It looks like we ll cover 467 [ ]
Eastbound Day Three: Yukon, OK to Cookeville, TN
I prefer driving West. At least then we re traveling back in time. Heading east always makes the days feel longer. 😃 Today s drive will cover 773 miles and clock in at around 12.5 hours.
Eastbound Day Two: Gallup, NM to Yukon, OK
Yesterday was a downright slog. Siri rerouted us and I swear we added two hours to the trip. We pulled into Gallup around 3:20AM local time. We re both pretty ragged this morning. The one lovely thing about pushing through to Gallup is Gallup Coffee Company! We ll definitely be enjoying a cup from them this morning. [ ]
