This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal
Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.
The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3β4 weeks. Sigh of relief. π

Bottom line? Forecast is on track. Prepare for power outages especially south of I40 where ice will likely form for a longer period of time. Impacts to roads will be significant as well. More details in the blog later.
If you read 1 forecast paragraph today, read this from NWS Nashville: "Bottom line... we have high confidence in winter weather with impacts this weekend. Go ahead and make preparations and don't plan on traveling if you don`t need to. It is not a simple setup that gives us high confidence in (1/3)
A code-signing certificate issued to Logitech. The expiration date is Tuesday, January 6 at 21:39:41 Central European Standard Time.
Whoops, seems like someone forgot to renew the code-signing certificate. Iβm guessing that macOS wonβt let Logi Options+ services run with an expired cert.
In case any other Mac users have a broken Logitech Options+ app right now, it's not just you. Seems to be happening to everyone. This breaks acceleration and other custom settings.

The first #AdventOfCode 2025 puzzle comes out in about five hours! What's your plan? What language(s?!) are you using? What's your IDE of choice and why is it Vim? Do you have a comfy chair? Did you check out the beta release of Lua 5.5? How much sleep have you gotten? Drinking enough water? π β€οΈ π
A flame point ragdoll cat lies on a yellow mid century modern arm chair, propped up against one of the arms. Heβs staring back at the camera as if posing for the photo. A toy bee rests on the arm that heβs leaning against. Some sun rays streak in through an off camera window, leaving small sun puddles on the chair and cat.

Some of the machine learning modeling also supporting the 5% chance of a tornado within 25 miles of you this evening. Again, doesn't change the messaging. Just using the tools at our disposal.
Only change in the latest SPC update was to nudge the tornado probabilities from 2% to 5% chance within 25 miles of you. Nothing major, but worth watching. Stay connected this evening. We'll communicate any adjustments through the day.
Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market.
Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions.

The AWS outage exposes again that βthe cloudβ isnβt magic, itβs infrastructure. The issue isnβt a cyberattack, itβs architectural over-reliance on a handful of cloud giants. We centralized the internet and then made our entire lives dependent on it.

So, the evening weather balloon wasn't as perfect as I had hoped, but we can work with it. The main number we were hoping would be zero was the C.A.P.E. (Convective Available Potential Energy). The value was 565 J/kg. Zero would have been perfect. (1/2)

There has been another serious npm supply-chain attack. Astro is NOT AFFECTED as it does not depend on any of the packages, either directly or indirectly. You should still check your package lock files to ensure you do not have them installed.
