WORTH THE WAIT 🏒

Pondering new Bitnami-free AWS instance with Ubuntu 20.04, nginx, PHP 8 and MariaDB

The taro chips from Union Hmong Kitchen are amazing

If I could only be 1/10th as cool as this 😎

Cool to see @theCharlieParr right in front of my favorite sound board spot for week #2 @FirstAvenue

Had a great day breaking in these fun Rossignols. Also tracked down @4waytest, the best dressed man in Minnesota

It’s a War by @tbtduluth was the perfect song to come up on shuffle as we crested the hill on I-35

Always feel guilty eating an entire Party Pizza by myself, but it’s really smaller than a slice at Cossetta

Seems nice on Maui today 🌴

Sunday night with @theCharlieParr @FirstAvenue

Tried MAMP on the new laptop for the first time – so much easier and quicker than my old test environment setup

Support your local Flicker – Friday Fish Fry from @bullshornmpls

2021 code written, tested and deployed – go and get after it, people

New Year’s Eve was so different during my casino years – good luck to everyone at the Bay tonight

Last work day of 2020 – Happy New Year, y’all 💜

Probably have looked at 1,000 listings in the Twin Cities the past two months. People sure do make some interesting decisions…

Last day at Candyland for kid two before she goes back to college

Well that went by way too fast

Broke down and decided to evaluate streaming music services. The Tenacious D station on Apple Music might seal the deal 🤘

In just under the wire – be safe, Minnesota friends ❄️

The scale apparently doesn’t give a damn what the watch says

Finally starting to see a clear path forward from my MrJackpot kernel panic tribulations

Seven down, one to go 🏈

The iMac kernel panics have stopped, but unfortunately it’s because the SSD is now dead 😡

Stunned by the passing of Tom Hanneman – how did we get so lucky to have him on air in MN for almost 50 years?

Time to retire? 35th…IN THE WORLD @TwoDots

Great reminder from Demme and @jtimberlake about how fun it is to work in the concert industry

Thrilled that I found OEM replacement ear pads for my ancient MDR-V6 headphones

Got the breakfast burger take-out from @redcow_mn tonight and it was stupid good 🍔

This December round of software updates has been…rough

Even though it wasn’t a concert, it was nice to be near @FirstAvenue again

Wow, there used to be a skyway going to my bedroom

Happy last of the twenty-somethings anniversary @cmkingsbury

Fun drive with the fam through Nature Illuminated @MNZoo @MNLottery

In 2019, the clown had 13,837 locations in the US (38,695 worldwide) 🍟

The ghosts of Luci and Corner Table ride again at Myriel

PJ Murphy’s Bakery. Since 1921.

Sub-58:00 in a half marathon is nuts (4:23 pace)

The UHK pop-up on Raymond is a hidden Saint Paul treasure

It’s not Wonderwall, but this Brandi Carlile livestream is making me feel better

Between the MIT SARS-CoV-2 lectures and the AWS re:Invent keynote, my brain is fried 😐

Lowertown PSA #2: @SaintDinette now has awesome merch for sale

Some of the peanut butter from my English muffin got on my nose and now it’s on my mask and it smells like cookies all the time 💯

The percentage of tech that I’m dealing with right now that is > 5 years old is vexing

Lowertown PSA: Kyatchi is open again for take-out, Thursday-Sunday

Hard to believe we are at the penultimate home game already 🏈

MplsStPaul Mag: 150,000 people paid a quarter each to walk through the 1886 Winter Carnival ice palace ❄️

I should probably get serious about cold weather running and/or biking, as kid two just got a seasonal job at Candyland

With the treadmill off-limits, I’ve resorted to jumping jacks and flights of stairs before eating a half dozen Christmas cookies

Support your local record stores – thanks, @efetusmpls for the bonus surprise today

Time to make the donuts

Every timeline can use more squirrels, right?

Pre-NHL/NFL Vegas

Ten year old iPhone 3GS memories from Colorado

Slow, virtual Turkey Trot 5K along the Mississippi – forgot how different outdoor running is vs. treadmill/walking/biking

Ugh the Tug, Port of Saint Paul

The sun is great, but still trying to mentally adjust from fall to winter temps

PHP 8 will break all the things

Arrive home from the Vikings game to find…a kernel panic 😢

Wait, Jerry Jones borrowed a million dollars from Jimmy Hoffa to open up a string of Shakey’s Pizza Parlors?

Might be jumping the gun, but no kernel panics so far on the iMac under Big Sur 🤞🏻

For sale: 174 acres in Stillwater, includes StoneRidge Golf Club, $7.75 million

Interesting pivot by two-year-old Vault Health and their former Amazon/Home Depot CEO Jason Feldman

The soft fade transitions in the Big Sur Music MiniPlayer might be my favorite macOS change in a decade

Checked out the free testing at Roy Wilkins tonight – surprising amount of mobile phone data entry

I played in one “real” golf tournament and had a 10, but I don’t recall following that up with five birdies

Ultra-cold chains: -70C (or colder) 🥶

Lastly: what’s up with the old Eagle Pines/Osprey Ridge at WDW? Is Tranquilo a mix and match of Fazio and Dye?

And did Pete ever visit Izaty’s (or was that just Dye Design)?

Is Pete Dye really buried behind #8 at Teeth of the Dog?
