27 years ago, we had our first date. Celebrating with a drink at Craft and Draft in Irmo.

Getting work done at Starbucks this morning.

I’ve spent a little time today working on my Micro.Blog setup. I customized the CSS on bobwertz.com. Now, I’m dusting off the Ulysses integration. I need to add a couple more things to the site, but I’m happy with how it’s coming together.

I know lots of people are jumping to Mastodon, but Micro.Blog has always been my Twitter implosion backup plan. Great service and community. Lets me cross post to Twitter if I want to. I love the concept of using RSS (or JSON Feed) as the foundation of an open social network.

My 17-year-old is telling our 10-year-old about an old technology from her childhood… cable television.

Semester has started and I’m working at the coffee shop on some homework.

Just introduced my children to the Blues Brothers.

Reading over the syllabus for one of the classes I’m taking this semester and I’ll be using R and Python. (And trying to learn Swift on my own…) Hopefully my brain can keep it all straight.

Love the new Lego Galaxy Explorer, but the new Lion Knight’s Castle is the most perfect nostalgia Lego set for me. I loved all the castle sets when I was a kid.

I’ve now done enough academic writing in grad school, that I’m starting to come around to the Oxford comma.
