Came across an old post on 7minutemiles.com about buying my "new" Epson Artisan 837 and realized that was 11+ years ago. It's still sitting next to me today and works perfectly - nice job, Epson

Twitter doesn't really make it easy to mass delete old tweets, but I think I'm getting close

I'd be curious to know how Siri and Apple Maps occasionally giving me audible alerts about speed traps works

Damn, I hope that's really true

On the same day I got my $5 per ticket refund from The Cure, purchased two presale tickets to Peter Gabriel for $55 per seat at Xcel (first row of the upper deck)

Last month I wrote a very short post on the Mastodon tech stack:

Tonight I published a longer second story on the business of Mastodon:

Would love to hear feedback - especially if you run an instance…

Our old Honda does not have lane-assist technology (but does have an awesome blind-spot camera in the passenger side mirror). Our newer vehicle has lane-assist and I can't say I'm a fan. In no rush to see fully autonomous either…

I still can't get over how much faster my server updates are on AWS compared to the Mac mini I used to have in Vegas

The Def Leppard drummer got attacked outside the Fort Lauderdale Four Seasons last week?

Can't wait to see the new boards in action this season at Target Field

The “YouTube TV Team" just emailed me to say they are raising their monthly price from $64.99/month to $72.99/month. The last email from them said they were dropping channels, so I guess shrinkflation also applies to tech services now
2023/03/15 23:46
Since YouTubeTV severed their agreement with Ballys Sports North, I rarely get to watch Wild broadcasts. Tonight's game versus the Blues was on TNT and I so wished that @chuckgoolsbee@twitter.com was on Mastodon so we could talk about the near goalie fight
2023/03/15 10:53
Wow - from “you've been waitlisted" to here are two club level row 1 tickets to The Cure in Saint Paul for $46

Not a huge surprise, but just got the call that Morrissey has officially cancelled his stop at the Minneapolis Fillmore (that was postponed due to illness)

Yesterday Siri diverted me through a Florida Costco parking lot - highly do not recommend

Initial thoughts on spring training in Florida: old people, sunburns, intersections with three turn lanes, old people ⚾️

Neighbor four houses down got in his giant pickup truck, drove to the mailbox by our house, then backed up and returned to his driveway ❄️❄️❄️📬

Not sure what kind of wild animal battle just took place outside of my bedroom window, but I can’t wait to see the tracks in the snow when the sun comes up

So fun watching Tomás and Cisco talk Super Bowl security. Best of luck to everyone working behind the scenes this weekend 🏈
2023/02/08 12:05
Second sunny, above-freezing Minnesota day in a row. Beautiful walk in the park with MK 💜
2023/02/07 16:16
The sun, 36F air temp, bald eagle soaring overhead and the new snow rake for the roof were all very therapeutic today ☀️🦅

I don’t really have the skill set to write one, but it seems like more Mastodon to WordPress plugins should be coming soon

Just went through my old Twitter follow list looking for accounts who have moved here and it’s all nerds, for the most part
2023/01/24 21:24
Not in the least bit surprised that Ivory is so good already. Nicely done, @tapbots
