Today I got to take a behind the scenes tour of the Portland Timbers’ stadium!
Just had to drop one of our laptops off at the Apple Store for the battery recall. I can’t believe they will have it for one to two weeks and not offer a loaner or compensation. That’s pretty crappy customer service for a $4k machine.

Sometimes I like to go to the math section of Powell’s and find the most obtuse applied mathematics book I can find, open it and say things like “Oh they just got that all wrong!” just to see how people around me react. 🤪
To me, being a parent often feels like an eternal cycle of yin and yang: my daughter watched The Notorious RBG and now wants to go into politics; my son just watched all 5 seasons of Silicon Valley and now wants to be an engineer…
This is a bit of a long shot, but if anyone knows any C# devs looking for an awesome wfh/remote position, please contact me. It’s a perm position with full benefits, etc. Only catch is that they need to occasionally be able to go onsite to a client in the Portland metro area.

Got some cool new stickers!

The boy learned how to drive Grandpa’s tractor yesterday. He really enjoyed it.
Visited the Oregon Country Fair. What a trip!
I continue to be very concerned that Swift keeps becoming increasingly unreadable to people unfamiliar with the language. Watching my son learn it has been incredibly eye opening.
I now know why Santa is sad!
Following @manton’s announcement earlier, Snippets has been updated to support the new Tagmoji category list.
I feel like my coffee filters are being a bit passive aggressive…
After the end of the OKC/POR series this year, I never would have thought I would find myself feeling sorry for Westbrook, but here we are… 🏀
I got an award!
The Blazers starting 5 at the beginning of the season: 1. Dame 2. CJ 3. Hood 4. Collins 5. Whiteside
Starting 5 at the end of the season (I hope): 1. Dame 2. CJ 3. Hood 4. Whiteside 5. Nurkic That’s a pretty tight starting 5!
And Bazemore and Collins coming in off the bench!
The Sacramento Kings 🏀 have a security robot…
