Productive day. So much so, that I was late to multiple meetings :/

 

Really hoping this is true 🤞

I literally can’t stop watching Blink 182 Coachella performances on reddit.

 

The early days of Linux

One day, Linus accidentally attempted to use his hard drive to dial the university, resulting in his master boot sector starting with “ATDT” and the university modem-pool phone number. After recovering from this, he implemented file permissions in his kernel.

This was a really fun read.

 

ChatGPT has become my favorite pair programmer. We have lots of adventures together.

 

Hot take: The Super Mario Bros Movie, 2023 movie was just fine. ★★½

I actually agree with Roger Ebert on this one:

The latest animated blockbuster from Illumination is their most soulless to date, a film that feels like ChatGPT produced it after data and imagery from the games were fed into a computer.

I really wanted it to be like Wreck it Ralf. A nostalgic movie I adore.

 

“It’s my job to love my kids, it’s not my kid’s job to love me” Rich Roll on parenting

Needed this one today.

 

My little girl turns 9 today. It’s going by way too fast. 😭

 

I went on my first ruck today inspired by this episode of the Tim Ferris podcast with Dr. Kelly Starrett. I didn’t have a proper backpack, so I just filled the Osprey up with about 30lbs of rocks.

I really enjoyed it and felt that it gave me a great (easy) workout.

 

It bugs me slightly that the closed captioning for Ted Lasso spells fútbol as “football”. ⚽️ > 🏈

 

Today I’m working on converting a huge legacy system from a .NET app to a Hugo site. My friend ChatGPT is assisting me in writing MSSQL queries in my Python code to help generate the content files.

The future is now.

 

I still can’t read the phrase “Dill Weed” without thinking of Beavis and Butt-Head.

 

Since ChatGPT’s release, every day on the internet is April Fools Day.

 

Twitter just open sourced their recommendation engine and there are some interesting types in the file HomeTweetTypePredicates.scala:

"author_is_elon", "author_is_power_user", "author_is_democrat", and "author_is_republican"

So much for non-bias…

 

Today, I installed a toilet from hole in the ground all the way through operation. Am I a plumber now?

 

Very excited to see Underøath play tonight

 

I started watching the movie Dune, not having read the book. About 20 minutes in I had to turn it off. It seems so cool, I decided to read the book first. 📚🎥

 

The local bookstore allowed me to get my Outlive book a day before it’s release. I’m not sure they made an error or were just being cool. 📚

 

Attempting my first overnight smoke on the Traeger. High stakes (steaks?), high reward. 💨

 

My middle son scored his first soccer goal today. He usually plays keeper and doesn’t have an opportunity to score, but was able to play in the field today and shot one in. Super proud of him! ⚽

 

Lazy Friday watching Avatar with the kids. 🎥

I like to take my feelings and put them in a muscle.

 

I just pre-ordered Peter Attia’s New Book:

OUTLIVE The Science and Art of Longevity

I love Peter Attia and the whole Longevity space. Can’t wait to read this one!

 

I very much enjoyed this episode of the Tim Ferris Podcast featuring Dr. Peter Attia.

The Science and Art of Longevity, Optimizing Protein, Alcohol Rules, Lessons from Glucose Monitoring with CGMs, Boosting Your VO2 Max, Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease, Early Cancer Detection

 

I appreciate the fact that the web version of Reddit mobile has a “Next” button instead of infinite scrolling. It’s much easier to say to myself “I’ll view 1 more page and get off” rather than mindlessly scrolling/hating myself for wasting so much of my life looking at nonsense.
