@brian@hoosier.social

I live in Lebanon, #Indiana where I am a husband and father of 2. Loyal son of Wabash College (#WAF). VP, Solution Engineering and Technology at Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE). Hobbies include #pokemongo, #audiobooks, #podcasts, and #weightlifting (although it doesn’t quite outpace my love of #food).

Met this young lady in Marrott Park yesterday. She was a little nervous about meeting a man in the woods, but there are no local bears to compare me to. She seemed to feel that twenty feet was an acceptable margin of safety.

Something that always puts me in a better mental health space (literally): rearranging furniture.

My wife gets this bug, too. It is certainly not in my genes, but I get it.

Somehow, “I Left My Wallet In El Segundo” popped in to my head and I’ve been down a Tribe rabbit hole. Is Scenerio the most fun song ever? It’s definitely up there.

I guess the only question is, can I kick it?

Is there a client (iOS or mobile web) that has a followed feed? I’ve seen many that allow you to see a list of the hashtags you’re following and drill in to any specific one. But I’m looking for a consolidated feed that is made up of matches to any/all followed hashtags.

Whelp my sorely abused Pixel 6 just finally died on me today so I hope nobody texts my about anything important!

Oh, bummer. We should start a club for folks with failing technology. I’ve had a few things kick the bucket this week too.

I know that feel. I’ve worn that stupid watch every single day for years and to not have it feels naked.

A meeting until 4:45 on Friday should be a punishable offense.

My #AppleWatch looks like it is on its last legs. It is a Series 4 that I wear and use every day and the battery was already struggling to make it through a day. But now it is kinda freaking out. Randomly switching around like I’m tapping or swiping. I’ve power cycled, restored from backup, and wiped it clean and started fresh. That seems to indicate a hardware problem. Can I hold out until September?

@Brian

Not too bad. Workout this morning was rough but my doctors appointment went well. Got the yard mowed after work, even though it was a little swampy. How was your day?

I don’t think anyone in the ‘verse plays #MarvelSnap but I just hit Infinite for the first time and I’m sorta celebrating! IYKYK. 🎉

I have a pair of earbuds that I bought for $20 in 2020 when we first all went remote. These things have been great but I fidget with the case, including the built in USB cable and now it is shorted or frayed or something and I have to finagle it to charge. I could replace them in a heartbeat, but that isn’t the point! It is now a mission to limp these cheap, low quality, broken things along and see how far we can go.

brian,
@brian@hoosier.social avatar

Update: they are dead. I messed with these bastards for an hour yesterday trying to get them to charge and everything I tried was a failure. Thank you for your service 🫡

brian,
@brian@hoosier.social avatar

@KrissyKat

I like the way you think. The batteries are ok and the battery life is still surprisingly good for how much I use them! The problem is the case. It won’t accept any incoming power to charge the buds.

In there are 4 dots in the ellipses after the crawl….

In fact all Star Wars movies but do…

Do any nerds know why?

@dragondaddy

Never noticed it before! Thanks for the interesting trivia. I googled around and I think I understand where the 4 come from but not why RotJ has 3.

Soooo many #StarWars #maythe4thbewithyou posts on my timeline and I love it. You nerds are awesome.

Love running across a test that states one thing and asserts the complete opposite. Very cool.

Is the test wrong? Is the code wrong? 🤷🏻

Just watched Turtles All The Way Down on Max and liked it. I think the depiction of intrusive thought spirals was pretty legit.

I wonder if they used Hank Green's microscopy videos for the germ shots? 🙂

Living in ("a B- city") I find it funny that they used Miami University and Ohio as stand in for . 🤣

Let's be honest. It is definitionally a C city.

He briefly mentions the microscope footage in a recent post (at about 3:20)

I’m sitting out at my fire pit. Neighbor behind us came outside and ripped a big one thinking no one was out here. 😳😹
