remember that app that would generate a snarky commentary on your spotify history?

you did go to your account and de-authorize it afterward, right?

or else could still be creeping on your spotify activity

while my house is not susceptible to flooding (on a large hill) here’s a few indicators of this past weekends’ rainfall. this drainage usually only flows during spring snow melt. and this wheelbarrow was empty on friday.

it is possible to be burned out even if you have self doubt and have a hard time assessing the value of your contributions.

(hindsight) anytime you’re assigned a new manager you should schedule a mock interview with them so you can demonstrate what you’re good at doing, especially if your current job requirements have changed to be something different.

the best i can offer dads is: if you’re present, and you’re trying, then you’re doing a good job. none of this is easy.

in my own life, by the time i was my kids age, my father was gone, lost to cancer. and my mom working constantly. i possess no real memories of my dad.

tomorrow is father’s day and i wanted to send a shout out to all the other dads with depression who constantly question whether they’re doing a good job and routinely doubt that they’re a positive influence on their kids lives and future.

every time i set up a new machine i think “okay i’ll let this app send me notifications there might be something useful” and usually within a few days i get spammed repeatedly for the same sale notification or useless nonsense and i turn off notifications again.

my wish for ipadOS is to let this hardware be a real computer. got my M1 ipad pro. hook it up to a keyboard, mouse, trackpad? yes. hook it up to an external display? sure. just …buy a monitor in the right aspect ratio. maddening. (also don’t creep my messy desk)
