A happy book says: I'm so proud you chose me as your holiday read! I can't wait to start entertaining you! A smiling drink says: And I'm right here! Ready to keep you cool and refreshed while you read! A gleeful phone adds: Yay! So great! How about we kick things off with a load of the same old rubbish you always look at, plus some gloomy news and mavbe a few emails from work!! Hours later... The drink and book lie untouched. The phone is out of view but a bubble reads: Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll The book says “I hate that guy.”

Imagine being so snobbish that Air Force One wasn’t good enough for you.

Being a tourist means standing in a series of lines. Day after day.

Ted Lasso S3 EP6 “Sunflowers” is my new favorite Ted Lasso episode. Such a delight. This is the episode where they go to Amsterdam. I thought about stopping watching after S2 but I’m glad I didn’t, simply because this episode exists.

Re-reading Coders At Work this morning.

This book would never be published today in 2025. It, 100%, would have been released as a podcast instead.

what’s wild is I enjoy solving the “I just upgraded and it broke something” problem. The problem is it just gets me back to square 1 when it’s over.

I am someone who compulsively feels like I need to be using the latest versions of everything, but it does me more harm than good. So much time lost to yack shaving for little or no gain.

Movie reviews are absolutely infuriating. Half the reviews inevitably say the film was "terrible" while the other half claim the film was "excellent", "a good time", their "new favorite X". It's wild.
