Joe Cocker finally made the Rock HOF! Long overdue! https://www.syracuse.com/entertainment/2025/04/woodstock-legend-more-to-be-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame.html

So I remember this later, apparently there's a non-zero chance Yahoo could buy Google Chrome. Within that chance, there's also a slim possibility they could rename it Netscape. Time is a flat circle, my friends.

Got my bookshelf data on my website switched off of Goodreads to Hardcover. If you haven't checked out Hardcover for tracking your books, you're missing out.

Trying out a way to post notes from my phone. New stuff happening on my website!

I don't think AI is our savior or generally that great, but I've been using Claude to decipher some truly inscrutable documentation this morning. It would've taken me hours, or I would've given up. But now I have webhooks on my server.

New Jeffrey Lewis album day! https://albumwhale.com/albums/28848

Lately, I've been separating as many of my dollars from big tech as possible. Today I shut down my AWS account after dumping Amazon devices and services over the last couple of weeks.

Fuck Jeff Bezos and the other gutless billionaires ruining our country (see my last quote post about WaPo if you need some more reasons).

Twice in my lifetime the innocent French fry has been elevated to national controversy. First freedom fries after 9/11 and now Steak ‘n Shakes’ new nazi fries. What a ludicrous timeline we live in.

Job cuts and cuts to benefits aren't just line items in some spreadsheet. Those numbers represent real damage to people. I know the cruelty is the point for these ghouls, as they inflict as much damage on Americans as possible. When do things start to break?

Today feels like one of the worst days to be an American in my lifetime. What a miserable farce this government is. All for what? Money?

It's new Cheekface day! https://albumwhale.com/albums/28233

Three good things: my wife’s public service student loan forgiveness was processed, Mylar balloons that last forever, and this guy:

Kid brought the flu home from daycare. Gonna be a long week.

Three good things: chips and queso, making "Muppet face" at my kid, windy weather (but not like a hurricane or anything).

Nirvana with Post Malone at the SNL50 concert did complicated things to my Gen X heart, but I think I loved it. I wouldn’t be mad to hear more of that.

Not typically looking to Bon Iver for an uplift, but I think this new one is just what we need after this week of miserable bullshit.
