First Day Trip in My Subaru Trailseeker
In my previous blog post, Omnibus Update: April 2026 Edition, I mentioned that I would collect my thoughts on my 2026 Subaru Trailseeker after 3,000 miles (4,830 km). I am planning to do that write-up in about a month's time.
Omnibus Update: April 2026 Edition
A whole lot of things have been happening in the past month, between Wait Wait-related and personal updates. Instead of spreading it out into multiple blog posts, I decided to kind of do a Lightning round/omnibus blog post briefly touching on each item.
Installing and Using Fedora on Apple MacBooks with T2 Security Chips
Over the years, I have built up a small collection of laptops, mostly ones that I've kept around after being replaced by a new laptop. They have been useful when I need to have a fallback laptop or to try out different software or operating systems.

I also published the set of images to the "Wait Wait Stats Wrapped 2024" album on Flickr.
Reducing Cloud Service Dependencies with Self-Hosting Options
Over the years, I have gone from hosting websites and applications over a DSL connection at home, to hosting them on virtual private servers (VPS), shifting some of the static content hosting to GitHub Pages and made use of services like Cloudflare, Google Analytics, and Google Fonts. In the past year, I have been replacing those services with things that I have more control over on my VPS…
Wait Wait Stats Updates: November 2025
The Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me! that aired on November 1, 2025 was the very first show that had a panel consisting of three men: Adam Burke, Alonzo Bodden and Josh Gondelman. This happened a little over 10 years since the very first show with an all women panel that aired on September 12, 2025 with Faith Salie, Paula Poundstone and Roxanne Roberts.
