The planetarium was fun. Got to meet Stephanie’s mom, Sabrina. I learned about the effects of satellites and light pollution on stargazing. It’s a bigger problem than I thought. Apparently the FCC is the agency regulating companies like SpaceX, and they only care about telecommunications, not about light pollution, so the problem is likely to…

It’s the first of the month. Coworkers mayed a lot of “may” jokes. I enjoyed those. It’s not may to make similar ones, though, since I find them cringe. Just kidding, if someone is making May jokes, it’s gonna be may. After all the chores for the day are done, I will go to the…

I apparently alternate between writing these journal entries as either the first thing I do in the morning or the last thing I do in the day. Today is the latter. One of my favorite things about the Champions League is that it always airs during lunch time at work. So of course I watch…

Just got word for how much San Diego Football Club (SDFC) is asking for Club season tickets. It’s frankly absurd. $6k to $10k per seat for 23 games. And some of the tickets require multi-year commitments. Excuse me, what? You want a family to drop a thousand dollars per game? This is an unproven team,…

It’s very nice outside. Today, I’m thinking I will focus on relaxing. It’s been a little stressful these days and I have a general feeling of anxiety today. I think it’s a mixture of feeling like I’m not doing enough for my grandmother and the fact that I had to add so much debt to…

Goal for today was to play a lot of Crusader Kings. I did that. I’m happy.

I turn 36 today. Yay, me. Don’t really feel like celebrating too much, though. I think I just want to kick back, play Crusader Kings, and maybe drink a nice craft beer or two. The disaster loan finally came through. It’s a lot of money to pay back, but we’ll put it to good use.…

Woke up feeling energized even though I got less than my recommended 8 hours of sleep. I have the day off tomorrow, so the plan for today is to leave things in a good state while I’m out, and maybe drag a coworker into one of my meetings. I’m continuing my mastery of Tailwind CSS.…

That was a nice ending to Shogun. Today I’m expecting some more computing equipment to arrive. Looking forward to setting that up. I’m also hoping to wrap up a cool project at work, and will meet with Liza about Fiber Club. More cleaning. Always cleaning.

It’s Shogun finale day.
