On this day
Posts on and around this day (Apr 27):- 2024-04-25 / Seems bad when the Supreme Court is like “gosh, this case from an obviously profoundly immoral guy acting in bad faith really tests our ability to rule in cases of law that presume good faith on the part of the most powerful person in the world. We’d better punt.”
- 2023-05-01 / It was just a little chilly on the front porch with this morning’s coffee, but a lovely, quiet calm way to start my work day.
- 2023-04-27 / I’m so deeply disheartened at Vice’s shutting down of Waypoint. It has been such a source of insight and joy. If its strong patron-supported model of critique and community can’t survive – and let’s be clear, it’s not that it didn’t make money; it didn’t make enough money for some small group of assholes to care enough to keep it on the books – then… well, fuck capitalism, go home.
- 2023-04-27 / It’s New Josh Ritter Album bedtime. Hell yeah.
- 2022-04-30 / I was in the mood for a Negroni, but only had dry vermouth so I improvised. Friends, the maple syrup Negroni is pretty darn good.
- 2022-04-30 / I’ve had a nice afternoon working on my hobby R/Shiny project, a loadout finder for the game Destiny 2. These improvements make it a lot more flexible and informative: It can now optionally include armor that would otherwise be filtered out of configurations by the minimum stat threshold, and it will show current mods used in displayed loadouts.

- 2022-04-26 / I’m sure it poses some benefits for systematic parsing (and I’m certainly much more comfortable working in R and markdown, for what it’s worth) but Jupyter’s reliance on json for its file format seems like a big disadvantage for readability and portability.
- 2021-04-29 / Haven’t posted a coffee photo for a while, so here you go. The pour was perhaps a little messy, but this one tasted quite lovely.
- 2020-04-29 / I missed the live broadcast last night because of My Work, so watching Josh Ritter’s latest Silo Session with lunch is a real treat. It has been special to “gather” with family dispersed far away and share these performances the past few weeks.
- 2020-04-29 / The view from this morning’s coffee in the backyard.
- 2020-04-27 / Shadows on the front door
- 2020-04-27 / Stayed off Twitter all day yesterday and it was good for my mental health. Might do it again today.
- 2020-04-26 / Coffee on the patio, the view from where I sit.
- 2020-04-25 / Looks like it’s that time again, Sprinkler Repair Season.
- 2019-04-28 / I was out walking this morning and spied a big bolt. @kitt I thought of your circles when I edited this up!
- 2019-04-27 / Adulting pretty aggressively today: Cleaning the garage, taking can after can of ancient paint to the city’s drop-off day (yay!), descaling the coffee machine, fixing a bike tire, and making yogurt in the Instant Pot.
- 2019-04-27 / My new jam: Fuji X-T30. So far I’m really enjoying it. While I love my X100S and the X-T30 doesn’t feel quite as good, it still handles nicely, and its autofocus and low light performance are so great. It’s really fun to have a new, dedicated picture-taker to carry, again.
- 2019-04-26 / It’s New Josh Ritter Album Week!
- 2019-04-25 / 📚 The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. Often gory adventure in a mysterious fantasy world that reminded me of the Dishonored setting. CW for violent treatment of women in particular that makes me reluctant to recommend, even though I enjoyed the intricate heist-like plots.
- 2018-05-01 / Today’s coffee mood: a little love.
- 2018-05-01 / I see my arch conservative neighbor is featured in the paper as opposing the teacher walkout. Well of course he does; he’s the arch conservative neighbor, but the article doesn’t mention that, instead only empathizing with his frustration that “it’s political.”
- 2018-04-28 / Saturday breakfast! Out on the town early with the kiddo: Splatoon for him and journaling and the hash bowl for me to start our day. The coffee shop is playing Talking Heads and Velvet Underground this morning. 👍.
- 2018-04-27 / Just spattered fish sauce all over my Moleskine, how’s your morning?
- 2018-04-26 / Attn coffee friends: I have made myself another coffee.
- 2018-04-25 / Take that, April.
- 2015-04-25 / Keeping the Web
