Dungeon Crawler Carl is bonkers. Each book more madder than the previous. Fun stuff.

This quote reminds me that the problem with the rat race is that even if you win, you are still a rat.

Am I watching season 23 of Survivor? Yes. I don't know why, but I like it.

This aged poorly.

How ‘bout them Noles?

It was an honor to connect Steve to some key folks in the community and have my name in the acknowledgments.

Steve was such a special man. We spent time together in SF at a Hackathon and dinner with a bunch of folks from the autism community. I miss him!

I’m reading Salt: A World History by Kurlansky and it’s honestly, fascinating. Especially how we “lost” salt making techniques over time to then rediscover them. Also wild is the impact of salt on the Civil War. The more you know. #booksky

Magnum is that you? Ferrari with Robin-1 plates

Deep cut, strange moment of the day is seeing a Ferrari on I-40 in Raleigh, NC with Hawaii plates “ROBIN-1”

Omg spot on

Wrapped up the Children of Húrin and thinking about Túrin’s journey.

He’s a bit Luke Skywalker meets BoJack Horseman - tragic, self-destructive and isolated. Really enjoyed the book 📕 📘📚 #lotr

The delete and report junk button doesn’t do anything, does it?

No possible way it does anything.

Turambar ‘bout to get it on with Glaurung #lotr

Whoa!! Those hips don’t lie, they rotate!

Season 4 of The Bear is wildly well-written and entertaining.

Told I was right handed when I am in fact, not. My cursive is illegible. Thank god for keyboards.

Netflix made a Thronglets game - screenshot

You people are sick! Kind of want to try this though. #blackmirror

Glacier or Glass-e-ay?

Soapy Smith is my new favorite historical rogue.

Learned about Soapy while in Alaska.

Great nickname with a unique and classic con game.

Hold up, they made a documentary about Madden EA Sports football? 🏈

Well Dungeon Crawler Carl is unhinged and I’m here for it. 📚

Visiting Juneau soon, will put you on the list if w have time!
