I loved playing "Swampy Game" on iPad with my kids so much.

I've always found it wild that version control for documents is not used in many fields, but now it might be a necessity.

Back in the dark ages, I could type a few characters, hit tab, and know I'd get what I expect. Now... who knows. Thanks for guessing that I want a lambda when the IDE used to just look at the function signature and autocomplete the actual only valid option. I'm stunned that this is just the way.

2025 resolution - stop using Visual Studio. AI intellisense is the epitome of AI garbage parlor tricks. Yes... sometimes when doing a refactor, it can guess what I want in magical ways. But... now it can't autocomplete the actual variables that are in my program, ruining the most useful feature.

Some fave live music in 2024
- Humbird at Minibar - Effortless voice. Reminded me of Mirah.
- Greet Death at Minibar - Vibes right by the PA were perfect.
- Explosions in the Sky at the Truman - First time. All the chills.
- Godspeed You! Black Emperor at Liberty Hall - The projectionist was rad.

TIL that I have Greek feet, which are the platonic ideal. So I guess I got that going for me.

Why Rise of Nations is one of the hidden gems of PC Game Pass The classic RTS is well worth a revisit.
