Agentic Windows
I ran across an article today about a post on Twitter by Pavan Davuluri, who is the current head of Windows for Microsoft. I just had to comment on it in long form.

It’s done!!! I’m so happy it’s done!!
Getting Grades
This second time through college has changed the way I think about grading. I’m not sure if this is a universal thing, but my classes universally have been mapped from beginning to end before it’s even started. There’s a defined number of points. This has resulted in me considering my grade as a percentage of the whole right from the beginning. Instead of thinking about how I’m doing in a class…
Obsidian for the Win
I’ve been getting more and more into using Obsidian lately, and it’s really simplified my note taking. Since I’m also using Jekyll for my web site, I figured I might be able to use Obsidian to simplify that too.
Palate Cleanse
Contrary to how it might seem, I’ve been writing quite a bit lately. I just haven’t been writing here. I’m taking a break from that writing to do some writing here because I need a bit of a palate cleanse.
Results of 100 Days To Offload, Again
On the 8th of August, 2024 I was challenged to complete the 100 Days To Offload. This is a challenge I’ve successfully completed before, but have failed even more. This new challenge came with an even tighter timeline, to complete it by the end of the calendar year. So, how did it go?
Book Report - The Ministry of Time
I just finished Kaliane Bradley’s The Ministry of Time. It was definitely not my usual reading.
Reading of the Day
Reading list for May 25th, 2025.
Do What You Love
Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.
I’m Garbage At Email
I wonder if the reason I’m so garbage at updating my blog is the same reason I’m garbage at email.
Questions Smart People Hate
I ran across one of those click-bait articles today about 12 questions smart people hate being asked. I’m not going to link you to the article because it absolutely is stupid click-bait and I don’t want you clicking their stupid crap links.
Superbowl Sunday
I’m not much of a football guy. I played in highschool, but I’m not the sort that knows the plays and the players and the coaches and everything they’ve ever done their entire careers. I do appreciate a good game though. The Superbowl is quite probably the only professional game I’ll see this year. My kids have a habit of monopolizing the TV, and I have enough on my plate with being a parent,…
The Air Is Fine
It’s pretty rare for me to test out a new browser, but there’s a new one running around out there that I just had to give a shot. Opera Air. TLDR: It’s fine.
Annnd We’re Done
Aaaaannnnnd we’re done. The house is empty. Nothing to do now except turn in the keys.
Stupid Design Decisions
I want to point out how even small design decisions can impact the lives of others in tangible ways. There are people out there who are making decisions on design that don’t seem to be thinking overly hard about what those decisions are going to mean. I’m going to take a relatively minor example from my own life to showcase this. This event is a tiny thing, and recent. It’s also not the only time…
Almost There
I know I’ve written about this multiple times by now, but it seriously is about the only thing I’m doing right now. We’re done with the old house on Friday, and today is Sunday. Five days and we’re done. Almost there.
New House
I haven’t been around much lately. It has nothing to do with not wanting to be here, but I just haven’t had free time to do much of anything. I have my usual collection of things going on, and to top that off, we bought a new house at the end of December.
