This morning’s torture devices
Haven’t watched much of the Olympics this year. The coverage hasn’t been great. Every time I turn it on, it’s people talking about the Olympics and not actual sports. Or my timing has been very unlucky.
I am looking forward to watching season 4 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The first two episodes are out now.
Power is back on. Happy for that. Also happy that we have a working generator for when it isn’t.
About two weeks ago, I checked out the generator and made sure we had a full tank of gas. Just in case. Glad I did because we need to use it today.
My oldest has been applying to jobs. I just remembered that I used to send out paper resumes. I can’t imagine sending out paper resumes now.
I always chuckle when I get a notification for “No Meetings Wednesday” while I’m in a meeting.
I find that I often read 2-3 books at a time. I’m currently reading: House of Leaves (physical book) Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge A Crash of Fate (kindle) Tiamat’s Wrath (audiobook) I’m not sure why I do this, but I’ve done it forever and usually don’t have any …
From Polygon: Book of Boba Fett is so much better when you realize Boba Fett is the series villain
One hazard to owning Golden Retrievers (we own two). When you brush them (we do weekly), it looks like they’ve lost a small dog.
Finished reading Persepolis Rising (The Expanse Book 7) today. It took me a little while to get into this series. But now I’m all in. Such a great series. 📚
Finished watching Boba Fett (season one?) last night. It was a good show. Unfortunately, I preferred when The Mandolorian was on screen compared to Boba Fett. I think I’m just more invested in The Mandolorian compared to Boba Fett (something I never thought I would say). 📺
Renewed my library card today. I feel oddly accomplished. 📚
It’s National Pizza Day. My company (Slice) came up with this great retrospective on the last year in pizza. 🍕 The 2022 Slice of the Union.
I spent about an hour last night just wandering around in Pokémon Legends: Arceus collecting items and Pokémon. It’s been fun just wandering around and exploring. 🎮
Reading Apple in 2021: The Six Colors report card. The Developer relations grade feels accurate. Apple has not been doing great on this front recently. It’s really a shame.
I’m a long time Charles Proxy user. I’ve just started using Proxyman.io and I’m a fan. I haven’t dived too deep into it yet, but I really like what I see so far. But it does the basics really well. I need to use it a bit more before I make a final decision.

Just when I think I’m in decent shape, burpees humble me. They are the worst. So many burpees today. 🤢
I’ve been playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus. I just don’t know how I feel about it. I’m about 4.5 hrs in and enjoy some parts and not others. It’s not a typical Pokémon game, but I’m still not sure if that’s a good thing or not. I’m going to stick with it a …
Today’s lunchtime torture device.
As much as I enjoy The Book of Boba Fett, I prefer The Mandalorian.
It’s a Santana kind of morning. This album is so good. music.apple.com/us/album/…
Just added this (Async await) to a (new) side project of mine. Looking forward to using this more.
New Sonos speakers arrived today. I went with two One SLs and a Sub. All of this in my office. It’s probably overkill. All set up and pretty happy with it so far.
