I watched The Shining at a friend’s house when I was like 10. First and last time I ever watched that nightmare fuel.

I owned computers before this, but I remember buying my first PC, a 286, at a flea market for $20 with a coffee can full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.

Two weeks ago I stubbed my pinky toe so hard that I was sure it was broken, whilst talking my dog out in the middle of the night. It made my entire foot swell up for days. It’s still sore today.

It’s worse than when I broke my wrist as a teenager.

As an embedded software engineer, you should never forget the Toyota “unintended acceleration” fiasco. They bent the NHTSA over by only allowing NDA’d engineers to review their software in a SKIF and never directly being able to speak about what they saw. It was millions of lines of spaghetti code scattered across dozens of processors in their cars, and it killed a ton of people.

I know Toyota is praised for their business practices, their introduction of hybrid cars, and their general good treatment of workers. But never forget their managerial practices that let the software degrade to the point that it killed people.

None.

The American “healthcare” system is fundamentally broken, and no amount of patchwork fixes will change that. We need to throw it all out and start from scratch.

It’s a great song.

This should cheer you up.

I think that’s your body telling you that you have low blood sugar.

I kind of love the TV Series he made, Wayward Pines.

I personally like Starfield.

Edge of Tomorrow. Blew my mind once I finally got around to watching it.

I really like the looks of those TCL NXTpaper phones. They use a matte color eink display that looks amazing.

And here I am, still using OneOf which just wraps F# code under the covers :⁠-⁠\
