  • I had pretty good grades…took the ASVAB just to get out of English class (it was optional).

    Got so many calls from recruiters because apparently I had gotten a really good score on the ASVAB, but it was early 2002 and I had absolutely no intention of enlisting. In retrospect I probably would’ve never seen combat and it probably would’ve been “better” for me in a lot of ways, but I have always been a liberal pacifist and it wouldn’t have jived well with me.








  • I switched from 4x 1080p displays for work (1 over 3) to a 4k, a 1080p, and the laptop screen.

    The 1080p is mostly for screenshares in meetings. Since most people don’t have 4k monitors, sharing a 4k display in a meeting is a terrible experience for everyone else.

    But I’d much rather have “one big display” than the same real estate on more screens. Much more flexible with layout. A 4k monitor is the same number of pixels as 4 1080p screens, and I’ve got one 43” monitor (TV) instead of four 23”.
