Rollerball, but one-on-one, on ice, at a high rate of downward speed? Count me in (says the guy that says "perhaps more baseball players than just the batter should have a bat at the same time" 🤷🤡

Not for nothing, but...

If we need to make it hard for someone to do a specific thing, perhaps we should think about why someone would want to do that thing.

This thought came from me while sitting at a LONG red light, but I think it applys to tech (and other) as well. 🤔

I know I have said this way too often, but so many yaks, so little time

"Why must you turn my office into a house of lies?"

USPS was good to me yesterday 🤘

Building Rube Goldberg Machines...can easily become hard to maintain, thereby reducing or eliminating the value we intended. As in all situations, we must ensure we get value from our efforts, lest we inadvertently create our own version of Mouse Trap.

The boys and I just made a marinade for chimichurri steak tacos. I love cooking with those two.

I tried to think of some #automation or #testing content that I could derive from that, but I stopped and just enjoyed the moment.

I'll get back to the content soon enough

Alas, I've used the last page in my last #STP/#STPCon tablet. At least, it was for something productive (school supplies).

STPCon and the STP community were a wonderful thing, and I do miss it! A big thanks to Inflectra to keeping that spirit alive!

You Broke Me? Why We Release With Bugs The world recently saw the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. Those of you who know me know that Ozzy was at the top of my list of metal performers. I’ll miss knowing that he could show up on another artist…
