My son is attempting to tell me how Santa became Santa and there is a disturbing undercurrent of Elf slavery in this story.
“Congress enacted 28 pieces of legislation this year.”
That is bananas. Is it even worth having a legislature if they don’t legislate? It might be time for… Kanban? Or to fire everyone? The cost per bill is insane.
Overheard from the 5-year-old: “Oh Batman… you’re so beautiful.”
Right before he falls asleep, my 5-year-old likes to process his thoughts from the day. It often inevitably becomes the preschooler version of AITA. “John took my toy and I took it back. Did I do the right thing?”
Turns out googling for a library to do app tutorials in swift is functionally impossible. “Swift… tutorial… library”
Feels like all this love for Among Us is going to make some new Survivor fans.
Finished my vacation project. Replaced a broken a JoyCon case and a joystick with drift.
CANImmunize is a surprisingly great app for tracking vaccination records for kids and adults. Love when 🇨🇦 does this stuff.
Put up a new website for Lemur. Getting closer to release…
Five seconds in the door and my son says to my wife: “Daddy was not wearing the essentials for winter.” 🐀
Birthday pizzas for my new 5-year-old. Pepperoni. Potato/Shallot. Pesto/Tomato. The kiddo ate plain cheese…
There’s nothing like the rush you get from taking a hard problem and making it easy with Test-Driven-Development.
I don’t understand how there isn’t a waiting list for a Playstation 5. They’re going to make more of them in the future, right? Even if I have to wait until May, you’d think you could put your name on a list or pay a deposit or something.
Making progress on the widget for Lemur. Font is way too small, but it’s certainly glanceable.
I’m reasonably impressed with SwiftUI so far. It puts pressure on good data structure design, just like React. The testing story needs a lot of love though.
I really love OmniFocus, but my one continuous paper cut is better note handling. The ability to have a font size for notes that doesn’t require me to be 15 years younger than I am would be a game changer.
Someone needs to write a version of Crucial Conversations for discussions with a 5-year-old.
It always feels like Tim Cook is talking to shareholders and not consumers.
Jenny LeClue is an excellent mystery game on sale right now for the Switch.
That should be enough coffee to start the weekend. ☕️
“I’m looking forward to a vaccine for COVID because then I can have a lollipop.” My 5-year-old’s goals for post-COVID.
Having an emotional reaction to the NYT election meter being back.
I love that the final remaining bipartisan issue might be a mutual loathing of Facebook.
Reason my child is angry at me: I won’t buy a camper van.
