Picture of a snowy backyard with some pine trees. There's part of an indoor Christmas tree in the foreground, decorated with ornaments and ribbon.
Looks like it'll be a white Thanksgiving this year.

Just another example of how screwed up it is that employment, healthcare, and self-funded / employer-subsidized retirement are all intertwined in the US.

Also, I assume an unspent fraction of my HSA will become part of my retirement savings, which is certainly not true this year. So medical expenses are literally postponing my (distant) retirement.

This is one of those years when I'm grateful that I'm in a position to max out my pre-tax medical accounts (HSA/FSA).
Healthcare is so expensive in the US. And the experience and outcomes are both so terrible.

It's almost more fun to think about the possibilities than to know the answer. Iron Chef breakfast, here's your mystery ingredient.

Happy Halloween! In true Minnesota spirit, if it’s not snowing, it’s road-construction season.

Worth emphasizing the importance of unions in forcing business owners to increase pay as productivity increased. Those two began diverging as anti-union laws, regulations & sentiment grew.

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Gemini seems to be getting better at working with Gmail. Try a prompt like this:
Write a 2-page summary of emails sent from Oct 5-11 with the label "tech-news"
(or whatever label you use for such things)

FWIW I'm getting more of it on LinkedIn than anywhere else. But there's less of a "public square" vibe, more about following individual people.

Hope you have an enlightened VP who explicitly pulls in the technical domain expert(a) to research, short-list options & recommend a solution that's the best technical fit. Not common at your typical enterprise, but as execs get more tech-savvy, it's slowly shifting.

Picture that says: Average pace: 11’57”/mi
Most people don’t appreciate how hard it is to walk this fast (without running).

A craft beer at a pool bar with an ocean in the background
Made it to Bali, 30+ hours later! Now trying to stay out so I avoid falling asleep.
