Summary for September, 2023

Footbaw

Jeff Sims has changed a lot. Now he’s frustrating Nebraskans instead of Atlantans.

My goodness, the Canes OL is massive! What a difference a year makes!

Forza Ferrari! 🌶️🏎️💨

Finally, a clean Grand Prix not disrupted by weather. It’s so much more fun to watch drivers compete in good conditions, even if there is less drama. P3 and P4, great result for the Scuderia! #F1 #ForzaFerrari

I have a bunch of 10TB NAS drives that I’ve swapped out for larger drives in my Synology. I’d like to sell them or trade them for more 16 TB drives. Anyone know of a place to do this?

Season one of Foundation was deeply polarizing, especially for book readers. The deviations from the canon were significant, and it was hard to see the justification. But season two has been an absolute triumph. The penultimate episode was spectacular, and I cannot wait to experience the finale.

In case you were wondering, it’s totally fine to hold Miami’s defensive line all you want. It won’t get called. Oh, and you can get away with murder and be rewarded with bullshit offsetting penalties.

Awesome, I’m finally running a full TweetDelete session. That company will never be able to monetize me again.

The last six weeks has been extremely challenging. Really big (good) things going on at work have kept me so busy that I’m well and truly exhausted. Flying to Cabo first thing tomorrow morning for a much-needed break with the fam.

Hey hey, look at the massive strategic agreement we just reached with AWS! Thrilled! https://www.missioncloud.com/press/mission-launches-data-analytics-machine-learning-practice-for-businesses-on-aws-0

In Cabo with the family for a much-needed break. Yesterday, we rode horses down the beach and then release 110 adorable baby sea turtles into the ocean. Very cool!

Seems like Georgia Tech may not be good at football.

Back home after a long travel day. Poured myself a bourbon and watched the season finale of Foundation. The penultimate episode was better, but wow was this season legit. 🚀

Okay, this new Modular Ultra watch face in watchOS 10 is awesome.

I am not disappointed in the slightest that a new Apple Watch Ultra was announced just a few months after I got mine. It’s so great already! The only thing I wish I had is “double tap.”

I’m about twenty hours into Sea of Stars and I adore it. While the art style, battle system, and story are all lovely, the music S L A P S. There are some metal covers of a few of the songs that are epic.

I mean, come on, this rules. https://youtu.be/t1qiq8j_tUM The “Bardcore” version from the game is also amazing. https://youtu.be/M04ko3ZjJYM

Excited that Eero has announced a truly high-end router with the Eero Max 7. It’s definitely overpriced, but I’ll be getting one so that I can finally take advantage of my 2G fiber connection.

Tailscale on tvOS is amazing. I can’t believe Apple added VPN support, but am very pleased that they did. Now they just need to add proper Atmos and DTS:X support.

Ahsoka is… not great y’all.

COVID booster scheduled for tomorrow! Gonna hold off on the flu vaccine for another month. 💉

Caught a little stomach bug. Happens to me from time to time as a result of being on a proton pump inhibitor for reflux. It especially sucks because I had to cancel my vaccine appointment today. Ah, well. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow.

Okay, after a long transfer process, I’m up and running on my iPhone 15 Pro. Love how much lighter it feels. The action button is great. The softer rounded edges are a big improvement. Good so far!

Miami’s secondary looking rough today. Really missing Kam Kinchens back there. Playing it too conservative and not sending pressure. Secondary can’t play any worse, get to the QB!

Absolutely chef’s kiss performance by Oregon in the first half. Colorado had 23 total yards. 23!

“You’re watching ACC football on the CW.” There’s no need to shame me, TV. I already feel dirty.

What a mess Checo made of this race. Just embarrassing. #F1

Given the track and the car, I’ll take that finish for Ferrari. Grabbed four points from Mercedes in the fight for P2. Forza! #F1

Very very happy for McLaren. They’ve had the most impressive development of a car in a season that I’ve seen in quite some time. Just remarkable. #F1

Are the Dolphins this good or are the Broncos this bad? I’m gonna say “yes.”

Look at me, watching Ahsoka again, even though it sucks.

Yes, my son asked to be able to “torture some koroks” for his party. He rules.

I spend a solid double digit percentage of my waking hours thinking about snacks. Pretty sure it’s why I’m shaped like a pear. Mmm… pears! I could go for a pear right now.

The commentators in the the USC-CU game are awful. I feel like I’m watching a high school game.

USC’s defense is mid AF.
