When a robot vacuum claims to be able to handle pet fur, I’m not sure they mean two golden retrievers who are blowing out their coats. Our robot vacuum is leaving fur all over the place. To be fair, the dogs are shedding like crazy right now. 🐕

Watching The Diplomat on Netflix. It’s nice to see Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford acting together again.

The National Weather Service is expecting us to get some snow today. Yikes. Not looking forward to this. ❄️

Since watching the Olympics Opening Ceremonies last Friday night, we haven’t watched any Olympics coverage. Instead, we’ve been re-watching Schitt’s Creek (which is still hilarious). 📺

Jaded by Apple and Stuck Here: I’ve been thinking about writing this for a few years now. I still don’t feel like I have a perfect handle on what I want to say, so this is just the best I could come up with. Bear with me. For a long time, I lived with this idea that a few companies could basically do no wrong. Apple was at …

Watching the Super Bowl. Last year’s was better. Go birds!

Spent some time today upgrading our home networking from eero to ubiquity. It was painless. I also ran Ethernet to my wife’s office and tidied up her cable situation. Tidying up the cables took the most time. 😆 🛜

I can’t wait for Summer. Winter is the worst. 🥶

Watching the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies. 🇺🇸

Kids got me a Star Wars jigsaw puzzle for Christmas. Finally got a chance to put it together. It was a tough one.

It’s a cold one out there. 4° F. ❄️🥶

Apple Weather just hasn’t been good with this storm. Trying to tell me we’ve had 22” of snow so far. We’ve had maybe 8”. Switching back to Carrot Weather. ❄️

The pups have absolutely loved the snow today. They have had coats and boots on. They just want to be outside. ❄️🐶

I really like my EV, but this cold weather (15° F - feels like -3° F) is really shortening the battery life. 🏎️

Good NFL games this weekend. I went 0-4 in my predictions. I’m good at this. Follow me for more sports predictions. 😆🏈

ESPN (Monday Night Football) really loves to play Dave Matthews Band. I’m ok with that choice. 🏈🎵

I’d be OK with a Bills vs 49ers Super Bowl. That means it’s never going to happen. 🏈

Dave Filoni takes charge of Star Wars as new president of Lucasfilm: I really like Dave Filoni, ever since I saw him speak at a lunchtime session at WWDC. I’m OK with this news. Dave Filoni takes charge of Star Wars as new president of Lucasfilm

We started watching All Her Fault tonight. I’m not sure how I feel about the show yet.

Tough game today for the Eagles. That sums up the season though. Defense does a nice job, offense struggles. I think the OC Patullo needs to go. 🏈

The two NFL playoff games today have been fantastic. Very exciting games. I thought the Panthers and Packers would pull it off. 🏈

We bought a Shark Robot Vacuum cleaner for the first floor. The dogs are not amused. 🐶

I’m nearly 7 hours into Hollow Knight. I just got to the Soul Master. It’s a tough, but fun game so far. I took a week+ break while I was sick. It’s a tough game to put down and then get back into. I also need to take frequent breaks from boss fights so I don’t become too …

Finally feeling better. Still not 100% yet. Probably the best time to sick, I am already off from work.

Good game from the Eagles today. I wasn’t quite sure how it would end. 🏈

We hosted my family for Christmas (the Sunday before Christmas). The gift I got was a cold. 🤒 Not a great way to spend the holidays.

I’ve hit my Christmas music limit for the year. I almost made it to Christmas. 🎄🎅🏻🎵

Watching the Eagles this season has been tough. They just aren’t the same team as last year. 🏈

We watched Elf last night. Another Christmas favorite. 🍿

We watched National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation last night. It’s a staple Christmas movie at our house. 🍿

A (Micro) Blogging Reboot: You may have noticed that I’ve re-enabled a bit of a blogging feature here on the site. It’s a micro blog. I’m using micro.blog to host the (micro) blog. I’ve used micro.blog in the past and enjoyed it. I also like supporting small independent developers. I’m glad to be …

Hollow Knight: I started playing Hollow Knight this week. I’m only a few years late on this game.
