I’m a geek from way back, I/T at every family gathering, pastoring in the Midwest, and my kids can sing along to a healthy amount of alt/indie rock from the 90’s.

@vivaldi.com I love Vivaldi and all the features it brings. If I had one thing that would move it from something I play around with to my daily drive, it would be that pinned tabs would revert to their originally pinned state when the tab/window is closed and reopened.

I mean…all she wants to do is have some fun. Pretty sure she’s not the only one.

Bald man who also happens to be the captain of the Enterprise shouting that there are four lights despite being told to deny the reality that he’s seeing or face punishment.

I’ve never resonated with this image more in my life.

You know that feeling you’d get as you were getting ready to jump on a rapidly spinning merry-go-round as a kid? Doing your best to time it so you didn’t get hit by flailing limbs and metal bars while bracing for the impact? That’s every morning as I think about going outside in the US right now.

It doesn’t feel like all that long ago that talking about things like taking sovereign territories by force would have been frowned upon in polite society. Weird.

I mean….interesting move to pick a fight with the country unanimously voted least likely to cross uninvited into any other territory unless it’s to bring a freshly baked dessert to share.

It’s been a minute since my last political science course, but I feel like the checks and balances were supposed to be a bit more checked and balanced than this.

A request of the makers of #SmartHome products from a #Geek who’s married to a #Designer …Please, I beg you, make a #SmartDoorbell that conforms to traditional #Architectural aesthetics, and then take my money.

So up until this week the TP-Link xe75 Pro was going to be my next home router. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced tri-band mesh system with built in VPN server functionality?

In today’s episode of ‘Being Married Means I Buy A Lot Of Things I’ll Never Use’ I’ll head out to buy a curling iron. I’d point you to my profile pic for clarification on why I’m about to look (more) ridiculous.

Dude. Later Gen-Xer here, but I still remember that one of the toys in my kindergarten class was a log, a hammer, and a bucket of nails.

As someone who currently has trigger finger because he spent too much time cleaning out his email inbox, I feel this in my soul.
