Even though my count is already off by over 30%, I still struggle to grok that the population of the world is not the number I learned in high school 20 years ago.

That... that's technically a hate crime, isn't it?

You know that feeling in (older) Bethesda games where you finish the intro and step out into the massive beautiful world full of possibilities and you just feel a sense of magical wonder?

If you want that feeling in real life, get cataract surgery. Stepping out my front door this morning was quite a breathtaking experience.

Since I only have one eye done at this point, I'm able to easily compare the two and I made this mock-up, for those who have never experienced it:

There are many modern tech inventions released these days that make me wonder "why didn't I think of that?"

This is not one of them.

I have officially begun my transition to cyborg by having a functional body part replaced with an improved non-biological man-made version.

In other words, cataract surgery went well.

I had to wake up super early today, which is miserable... and then I notice the school bus going by as I'm struggling to become coherent.

It's really no wonder why teenagers hate all adults when we make them get up this early every day.

Couldn't find my cat after 15 minutes of looking for him.

Then I remembered that I only made this bed with two pillows.

Oh, great, they're moving the Capitals out of the Capitol.

Baseketball becomes truer every day.

There is no way to accomplish this that isn't downright Orwellian. And many of the proposed technologies will pose health risks for rental cars.

This is some dumb shit.

You hear that companies? Money is getting cheaper again. Get back on the horse of spending to improve digital infrastructure.

Ugh, I hate it when people use good causes to chase clout.

Given how most Americans can't afford a lawyer and how those Americans who can afford a lawyer use said lawyer to abuse the legal system to their gain...

Let's just stop and take a moment and realize how amazing it is that this country has a longstanding public defender system.

Is it perfect? No, of course not. But imagine how fucked we'd be without it.

Funny how my Meta Quest 2, which worked fine for years, has suddenly started having audio and lag issues shortly after the release of the Quest 3.

It's 72 degrees outside and Florida patrons are asking the bar to turn on the patio propane heaters.

Biden now has a choice.

He can either denounce this warmongering...

Or he can play the part of Netanyahu's puppet.

I've always had a sneaking suspicion that #Git was a flaming bag of dog shit, but because it sucked so bad, I never wanted to use it enough to figure out if that flaw was the software's or my own.

Reading this document, though, I feel pretty vindicated. Git really is a dumpster fire. We developers deserve better.
