Nicole's not feeling well so stayed home to watch the Mammoth/Black Bears game. Not mad at delicious Chinese delivery, but bet it's great at the Loud House tonight!

Mammoth up by 1! Let's Go Mammoth!

WWDC17 lapel pins. One is a rocket. The other is a fist with WWDC across the knuckles.

Any of my #apple #ios people want these old #WWDC pins?

I'll toss 'em in the mail if you're in the US.

We’ve been watching β€˜Good Ship Murder’ and wow, major budget increase from season one to two.

Certainly a funny British murder of the weak show.

It's sunny and warm(ish) 50f, but after yesterday's storm, the only things not covered with inches of snow are the concrete pathways so can't do any of my outdoors todo list things.

Created an 'AI Stans' list to drop well, idiot AI stans. Then thought. "Why would I do that? Just block them."

So that list is empty and I just blocked another "Don't worry your tech job is safe" idiot.

An under-appreciated aspect of Star Trek is that all the characters keep diaries.

A 'Threshold' one of the goofiest Voyager episodes.

Turning off the light in the office and leaving the day job there until Monday. Ready for some writing and relaxing.

Maybe a glass of wine.

Cluely CEO Roy Lee admits to publicly lying about revenue numbers last year | TechCrunch The $7 million in annual recurring revenue that Cluely CEO Roy Lee shared last summer was a lie, its founder and CEO Roy Lee admitted on Thursday on X.

Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?

Not a single Democrat in the Colorado legislature says Jared Polis should reduce Tina Peters’ sentence. He appears set to do it anyway. The Colorado Sun asked every Democrat in the legislature Wednesday whether Polis should offer Peters clemency after the governor all but said on social media Tuesday that he plans to do so

Jared Polis sucks. He's always sucked, but he's getting worse.

Can't wait to never think about or see him again.

I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.

This very brief message will begin appearing on 9NEWS during NBC Nightly News and other programs.

I appreciate 9NEWS/TEGNA making space for a quick word about journalism in this moment and what our @nexton9news.bsky.social team tries to accomplish.

Remember, when we wanted more renewable energy to reduce fossil fuels and tackle the climate crisis, we were sneered at and dismissed as β€˜fantasists’.

Yet, when tech billionaires want solar to power the AI data centres stealing people’s jobs, the right can’t get enough of it.

The two expedition Inc books surrounded by quotes from readers. 

"A combination of Indiana Jones, the movie gadgets of James Bond, and a good dose of swashbuckling." 
"I really liked the inclusivity of the team.  The author has done a great job of appealing to all readers. Looking forward to the next one!"
"A Clive Cussler in the making."

I really need to get that third book written! After this WIP I'll focus on my friends over at 'Expedition, Inc.'

In the meantime though, two awesome A-Team meets Indiana Jones adventures await!
