What do you call it when you spend an hour with a dental pick and tweezers straightened intercooler fins and removing pebbles? Asking for a me.

Why does the west side of Sloan’s Lake smell like Doritos? As soon as I get to the path on the north side of the pond, east bound, its back to that typical marine smell.

Today an organization decided to stand in the way of my next book while a prestigious university formally wrote a letter stating that it is "a project of national significance" and I remember once long ago being told I wasn't capable of writing a book and even though I'm living out of two suitcases right now, one is LINED WITH BOOK AWARDS

The conduct and lack of tolerance, inclusion, and support of others in the Drupal community that an appointed DA Board Member, expressed on LinkedIn today is appalling.

I ask that his membership on the board be immediately reevaluated and revoked.

Hatred of any form is unacceptable.

I have the privilege of being able to contribute to without paid sponsorship. My psychological safety is important, and I ask the our leadership provides that.

Building wheels is so satisfying. My son grew out of his old bike, so I’m moving hubs to new rims so he can use my old frame. Here’s laced up.

    we have an old laser printer with build in scanner. HP dropped support for scanning on macs for this model some 10 years ago. I just discovered the build in document scanner app in Ubuntu works great with it.

    What’s a better SSID to use at polling places, “MyPillow guy is stupid” or “Vote Stealer”? https://twitter.com/kelly_dereuck/status/1692238468682850478 His grand idea is to search for Wi-Fi networks.

    Over a week ago I had to fax a request for the next level of appeal. I've heard nothing back since so I just called. The person transferred me to their appeals department. The phone number is out of service.
