After the most recent GMS update, my phone now kernel panics and reboots whenever I walk under a specific tree near my office. o.O

This mailer from my power company seems vaguely threatening. Stay safe from these old people? Stay safe by saving power, so that PG&E doesn't need to come and rough me up? I don't think I want to know https://computerfairi.es/media/66xIlBZsg0_DXcQynHM

But 2018 bro, you had some shit:
- Wasted a year of my career on utter bullshit
- Continued to drift away from old friends for no reason that I can understand
- omg world politics and climate
- omg the stock market
- California, plz stop being on fire

Oh geez you guys said so much nice stuff for New Years, now I feel shallow! XD

FINE here's a better 2018 list. The good:
- Resolved a decades-long family feud
- Good health and fitness
- Made new friends
- Got a better job
- Robey still tolerates me for some reason (9 years!)

Welp, glad that year is over! Surely 2019 will be better somehow! I mean... what's the worst that could happen? ;>.>

According to this packaging there is another coolness level above any cough drops you can buy in any store. DON'T HOLD OUT ON ME HALLS I NEED MAXIMUM COOLING https://computerfairi.es/media/gkiXTssd1msUx8xwN0g

By next week New Horizons will have photos of the most distant world ever photographed by a spaceship! https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/pluto-is-far-in-the-rearview-next-stop-ultima-thule/?utm_medium=social&utm_content=organic&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=SciAm_&sf205029572=1

One upside to the looming drug resistant microbe apocalypse will be the permanent end of handshaking. Yes an idiotic macho sales bro ritual which I despise, but also a public health nightmare.

Making breakfast on christmas morning. i can have cereal with egg nog poured on it, right? That's christmas-y, isn't it?

the most time consuming aspect of business travel is convincing myself that I haven't forgotten anything before letting the hotel room door lock behind me for the last time

Frankly I feel like most engineering on existing systems is more psychology than coding. "What was this author probably thinking when they wrote this?" "Where would the last person in this codebase probably have hacked in this feature?" "What did they think I would think this interface name means?" The ability to guess intent from archeological evidence is a key skill.

grabbing some late night eats at the only bar in boston still serving food on a tuesday. It's basically in a stairwell https://computerfairi.es/media/TyvxnJyG0LlBA72JGsA

it's a small thing. but when i command-click a link to open it in a new tab, and it ignores me and replaces the current page anyway, i am filled with blind rage at that website

Now sitting through an hour of mandatory legal training for a job I don't actually have anymore.

OH GOD THE LEMONING HAS BEGUN https://computerfairi.es/media/jkB_0wO961alCbLQlTk
