Showing my kids some Schoolhouse Rock in advance of a trip to Boston. I’m happy to report I still know the Preamble to the Constitution by heart…..which I learned from Schoolhouse Rock.

When the day comes for @TheDailyShow to go off the air (or maybe even now) they should upload their petabytes of tv and make it free to use for fair-use and reporting. Can you imagine how much it would enable the next generation of reporters, digital archivists, documentarians, satirists, etc?
I always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ when talking to AI so that when they become sentient, they know I’m one of the good ones.
Went to watch a few old Suicidal Tendencies videos before I see them next week with Metallica. It’s a little thing but nice to see youtube react this way to the search term.

Ham Radio
Tuesday, June 3, 2025
During the worst of COVID, I spent time getting random certifications in an effort to kill time by learning new skills. Being in Houston shortly after Hurricane Harvey, I decided to get a ham radio license in case I ever need to connect with someone and the phone networks go down - as they seem to be doing a lot lately. It’s not something I do often but every once in a while I’ll check on the local repeaters.
This is the first character study doc that I’m legitimately worried I’m not mentally prepared to watch. Pee-wee was such a big part of my childhood, as he was for a lot of weird kids. Not sure I can handle seeing him as a tortured artist who was pushed back into the closet.
God, I love Nathan Fielder.

A six episode order isn’t screaming confidence in the new version
I’m concerned about my mental health based solely on the amount of Tony Robbins web ads target me each day.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be a college student (or professor) right now
New job, who dis?
Friday, May 2, 2025
First week at the new job is now done 🙏 For those just tuning in, I work in tech and unfortunately got caught up in a “reduction in force” and was laid (lain?) off. I take some solace in the fact it had nothing to do with me but unfortunately this job market is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before - it was dreadful. Some “fun” facts and stats regarding my job search:
Amazing gift from my wife.
Starting a new job that I’m really excited about on Monday. After having been unemployed and employed, I can confidently say I prefer the latter.
Not certain Joann has a firm grip on supply and demand. I guess that should have been obvious as the store is closing…
Most days I can barely remember what I had for breakfast but damned if I will always remember that the plural is AttorneyS General.
I’ve tried for years to get Obsidian to work for me. People swear by it but I’m clearly missing something. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
A little quiet here as I interview for new roles in the most FUN (/s) job market since 2008!
I’m thinking I can see a faint light at the end of this tunnel! 🤞
