Posts on and around this day (Apr 15):- 2026-04-12 / Sunday morning selfie.
- 2025-04-15 / Just quite pleased with the espresso I made this morning, from Herkimer Coffee. That’s it, that’s the post.
- 2025-04-13 / Listening to this Josh Ritter album after dinner tonight as the sky gets darker. Released for just a few days in Dec of 2020, it’s a wonderful album of live performances of so many favorites. Wish I could tell you where to pick it up. Friends’ll have to come over and listen to it some summer night.
- 2025-04-13 / I photo-walked to a neighborhood shop for coffee and breakfast first thing yesterday. It was a beautiful morning to get out for a walk.
- 2023-04-16 / This morning’s ride was a good start to a busy Sunday. I also got to test out my custom little Shiny app for building nice little shareable images with the Peloton API!
- 2021-04-18 / I stacked the clacky keyboard on the MacBook for some Sunday morning RStudio time.
- 2021-04-17 / Saturday morning coffee and writing.
- 2021-04-16 / Friday puppy sunbeam update; puppy is in the sunbeam.
- 2021-04-14 / I can have some new keycaps, as a treat.
- 2021-04-14 / Okay, 45mph springtime winds, I have taken down the hammock. Happy now?
- 2021-04-12 / 🎮 This is a fun, super-smart review of Outriders, a game I’ve had a good time with the past couple of weekends. It’s on Game Pass, XBox micro.friends!
- 2021-04-12 / Calling R specifically and data folks in general: anybody using the M1 routinely with a broad analytics/data sci set of tools now? Things look pretty promising but I wonder if the day to day still relies on too much fiddling in/out of Rosetta to feel effective.
- 2020-04-16 / I am 100% having a beer and playing video games in the background of my son’s zoom taekwondo class, yes, and I feel no shame.
- 2020-04-12 / Pupper
- 2019-04-18 / My espresso machine broke down today (solenoid that I think I can replace) so I got myself a backup plan and have been reading up on AeroPress recipes. Good night I’m going to be so insufferable as AeroPress Guy.
- 2019-04-15 / Oh, dear, they just said suh-GWAR-oh on this NPR story about Arivaca, AZ.
- 2019-04-14 / I bragged the other day about my rock-based repair of my sprinkler controller, so it should surprise nobody that I have spent most of my day replacing the thing after it failed entirely and refused to respond to any sort of geology-oriented solutions.
- 2019-04-13 / Fig 1: The circuit board in my sprinkler control box with its sophisticated “cram rock behind it” repair technique. I’d like to say this is a temporary fix, but I stuffed the rock in there a year ago.
- 2018-04-18 / Saw a ribbon of Milky Way above the house in the way to early spin ride this morning. Thumbs up on today, Galaxy.
- 2018-04-15 / A year after completing our kitchen remodel, there are two things that utterly delight me every single day: The touch-activated water faucet and the slide-out trash/recycle bin rack. 💫 Everything else is great; but these two small things are transformatively happy-making.
- 2018-04-13 / Pretty sure I can’t get out of the car and go into the office yet if this song just came up in the shuffle. It’s a bylaw?
- 2018-04-13 / John Prine is such a treasure. This is a sweet portrait to mark the release (finally) of his new album.
- 2018-04-12 / From “Go North, Young Woman,” by Sarah Gilman: Mountain ranges, then more mountain ranges, and then the Spatsizi uncoiled below us like a rope thrown across the valley floor. Aprons of rust-colored scree descended from high ridges to oxbows that looped around pocket lakes. Our landing on one of them was so smooth that I barely registered touching down until I saw spray jetting past my window. Standing on the gravel beach next to a fresh pile of bear scat, we watched the floatplane rise again, drag its reflection into the trees, vanish.
- 2018-04-12 / And STOP. Huevos time.
