Pretty great actually. On my first relaxation vacation with no specific agenda in several years. The beach is gorgeous, the breeze is cool and the drinks are flowing. Life can be good, sometimes anyway. Trying not to think about the work stacking up that will be waiting for me on my return.

What rolls down stairs, Alone or in pairs, And over your neighbor’s dog? What’s great for a snack, And fits on your back? It’s log, log, LOG!

Hurricane Harvey was a bastard of a storm.

I was up all hours of the night for days on end keeping tabs on the flood control reservoir at the end of my street only a few houses away, it got dangerously close to overflowing but fortunately never did.

Craziest thing, I remember being inside my house in the middle of the day all dark no power, and I hear the unmistakable sound of a military helicopter getting closer and closer and suddenly the house was starting to shake. I ran outside and looked up and there was a Blackhawk hovering no higher than 50 meters directly above my house and a soldier poking their head out the side looking straight down, I swear we made eye contact it was so close. Fucking wild.

If you’re hearing nothing back from any job applications at all, there might be a red flag on your resume you’re not aware of that’s preventing you from getting past the initial screeners. It could be as simple as the way you phrased something that’s not even necessarily a negative thing. You should have someone review your resume and look into sprucing it up. Happy to help if you’d like, DM me your resume and I can give it a look over and see if I see anything that stands out and might be preventing you from getting to the next step.

Perfect example of this is the movie Dogma. Kevin Smith has stated he would love to do a follow up on it, but he as the creator can’t because the IP is owned personally by Harvey Weinstein, and he refuses to give money to Harvey to license or buy it because obvious reasons. So, his own creation is locked away from him because a monster put up the money for the original before Kevin or most people knew they were a monster.

Fueling our cars with tacos would indeed be a lot cheaper than gasoline, but unfortunately the emissions from low Taco-Bell-grade fuel would accelerate global warming

Tonight. YOU.

Huh, interesting landing profile. I was looking at the artists render thinking “where are the landing legs?” but turns out it belly flops down on one side for touchdown. Neat!

I didnt know about Explainshell before this post and it looks like an excellent site to share with some of the greener Linux sysadmins on my team at work. I’ve just set a reminder to share it Monday morning

As I rounded the corner I felt muscular and compact, like corned beef.

Fuckin, way she goes

There was a VHS passed around my high school, cleverly disguised with both the sleeve and sticker for the comedy classic “Airplane!” but was in fact Jenny McCarthys Playboy video. There’s enough in that previous sentence to sufficiently approximate my age haha

League City is an interesting result. It’s a fairly small and partially rural area between Houston and Galveston surrounded by more developed areas. My first thought was that maybe the population is so small that it might throw off the numbers, but then I remembered it’s the location of the Texas Killing Fields where in the 70s and 80s there were a string of murders of young girls hitchhiking or otherwise getting rides from strangers on I-45 between Houston and Galveston. Maybe this has something to do with the 99% rate of car ownership? After a community goes through something like that… wouldn’t be surprising to me.
