Liftoff! 🌎->🚀->🌛

Do I stay awake to see the first launch of Artemis and the SLS system…?

Six hours after the presale began, I was able to successfully to purchase Taylor Swift tickets.

There are “2000+ people” in line ahead of me, but at least I was finally about to get in the Taylor Swift presale queue. I wonder how long this will take… I’m guessing some time this afternoon?

As expected the Ticketmaster/Taylor Swift ticket purchasing process has been awful. I’m still not able to get in line.

This line on the Ticketmaster site concerns me: “Ticket prices may fluctuate, based on demand, at any time.”

I’ve been tasked by my daughter with getting Taylor Swift tickets at the presale today. Talk about pressure.

Just hit a (small) milestone for my long Ph.D. journey. My first solo IRB approval, and tomorrow, my web-based experiment goes live. Now fingers crossed that the students who are supposed to take the survey actually take the survey.

This line from Brent Simmons on Inessential feels particularly dead on:

The internet’s town square should never have been one specific website with its own specific rules and incentives. It should have been, and should be, the web itself.

I’m dusting off my CSS skills so I can customize my Micro.Blog blog. I’m having fun and I want to keep experimenting. That said, I’m terrible at it. 🤣
