  • The Little Things

    In the process of porting our cell phones from Metro to T-Mobile. After getting my own line moved, I noticed when you call support line they use caller id to give a personalized greeting… “Hey Jason, what can I do for you today?” in their customer service bot’s fairly realistic voice. Nice. I also appreciate…

  • So that happened…

    A week ago, I was out on an early morning run, and got hit by a car running a stop sign. After a trip to ER and a overnight stay for observation, I’m mostly ok. More details on another day.

  • Finally crossed something off my to do list.

    Freed up some space in the bedroom and put our old living TV on the wall. I wouldn’t try to chin up off the mount, but it was plenty strong to hold a TV though. The wire hanging down offends my OCD sense a bit, but I’ll just get over it.

    For scorpions of course! Here’s a recent victim after getting hosed down with Terro Scorpion Kill. Got hunt a few times a week in the yard, or else you start seeing little friends wandering around inside the house.

Quick look around reveals a guy sitting on the tailgate of his truck smoking a stogie, parked about 20 feet away…

  • Spring in the Desert

    I’m not sure if it’s an epic year for spring blooms, out of just that I’ve been outside more than usual to see them, but they’re pretty incredible this year.

  • The Streak Continues

    Yesterday, I woke up completely fragged from the week. Chore mode took over and suddenly it was dinner time. Uh, running? oops. Even though I was pretty wiped out, I still managed to sneak out for a run after the child units were put away for the day. The run went ok, but it felt…

  • The Streak Continues

    Haven’t had much to report. Doing 3.3-ish miles on weekdays and a little further on the weekends. Everything feels pretty good; kinda stiff at the start but things seem to work ok once everything gets up to temperature. Looking at some lifetime stats on my Garmin Connect profile page, I see that my Garmin watches…

  • TIL: Sub-Octave Basses Exist

    Mercy, this thing goes loooooow.
