📚 Finished Reading: The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was so exceptional that it makes me wonder how to even find more writing of this caliber.
Highly suspicious of any place of worship that flies country (etc.) flags.
⚽️ Always enjoy the goofy poetic nature of a Matthew McConaughey conversation:

🎶 Protest the Hero sits somewhere between (heh) Between the Buried and Me and Propaghandi which means I should probably like them a ton, but I think it’s the Rush elements that sometimes sour it for me (and sometimes don’t).

⚽️ US Soccer Games (#USMNT #USWNT) I want a permanent recording of:
⚽️ I’m calling this game the “Marais Classique” until somebody comes up with a better name. #USWNT
Edited to add: this was a bonkers semi-final in the Gold Cup. Standing water. Questionable VAR calls, including a late-overtime questionable penalty, which Naeher did not save. Canada making an illegal sub. Naeher going on to save three when the game went to spot kicks, as well as making one herself. 2-2 normal time. USWNT wins 4-1 on spot kicks.
⚽️ Shaw is killin’ it this tournament. Excited about her future in the #USWNT
⚽️ this game is so incredibly wet. Wondering if it will become as iconic as the Snow Clásico.
👨🍳 My go-to cooking methods:
- put it on the griddle at 350 and flip it once
- stick it in the oven at 400 for a while
- put it (with some salsa and a little water) in the pressure cooker on high for 20 minutes
💪 Log Day
No not leg day.
Log day is when we train for lifting, cutting, carrying, moving, etc. logs. 🪵
📚 Excited to receive my copy of The Engineering Executive’s Primer by Will Larson.
Larson’s An Elegant Puzzle is one of my favorite technical leadership books, and I enjoyed reading many of the blog posts that were Larson’s “writing in public” to prep this book.
🎶 In the next couple weeks I’ll be coming up on my 100,000th scrobble.
I’m contemplating whether I should pick something amazing, iconic, funny, or just let it pass by and see what lands.

Seems like it was the best messaging app. Just couldn’t get critical mass?

Seems nifty, but now that Craft Docs allows guest editors, I think I can just do this there for free (well, for “included”).
Sad that it took a backroom deal, but happy that the rest of the state legislators stopped fighting Indianapolis on being able to do at least one dang thing in the city:
