I spend my days crunching numbers and my nights torturing a wife and cats with the sound of keystrokes. Opinions are my own. #FabricCAT #MSFTEmployee

Planning an event filled weekend with my friend coming into town and it’s a mix of exhausting his kids with endless activities and the fine line of everyone needing a nap. Wish me luck.

I just had such a damn good visit with a new ENT. Looking forward to fixing my janky oxygen intake in 2024. Give me all them deviated septum surgeries too.

Thanks for shouting out my incremental refresh pattern for Dataflow Gen2! I’ve got another fun one in the drafts that will be making its way out soon.

Tune into Ignite tomorrow. One of the things I PM’d for like the past 16 months is shipping. Its pretty popular too I’ve heard.

Today was an incredible day of catching up with the new hire crew. Cool Kids still cool AF all these years later.

Past me: Throw any event on my calendar! Currently me: What did past me agree to and have to prepare for at the last minute?

Not going to lie. This raccoon was massive. Might have been 20ft tall, after it realized I was also in the backyard and stared me dead in the eyes I was then afraid it might size me up and ask for my wallet. Had to run inside. #STL city you wild some nights.

Chicago Bears looking good today. I’m ready to let Fields go, he deserves a fresh start with a new organization. We just need to focus on the rebuild.

Listen to Torres. Also, how 4AD dropped the ball on her album should be studied in history classes. youtu.be/9mSaYRd3iIo?...

TORRES - Skim (Official Video)youtu.be 'Skim' by TORRES. New album 'Three Futures' is out now. Listen to it here : http://4ad.co/TORRESThreeFuturesDirector/DP: Ashley ConnorProducer: Rachel Wolthe...

My toxic trait is aimlessly scrolling thru deal websites and then buying said random stuff. Also, hello new upholstery cleaner! Looking forward to that wet vac tomorrow AM on my doorstep.

I got my brother to join BlueSky. Now I can BS with my brother @gthrax.bsky.social all day. If you’re in Seattle and like beer. Hit him up with a follow. I’m sure he’ll post all them cans that make me jealous soon enough.

Brutus is a killer band. Listen to Brutus. youtu.be/74LVRkcQwBQ?...

Baby we’re going down swinging. It’s probably the flu, COVID or 10 other things. I hate the rapid weather changes.

Alright. I’ve hated every sport for today. Off to bed. #STL #STLSC #Chicago #Bears

Parker is the god dang man. #STLSC #MLS

Finding some deep cuts from a decade ago as I clean up a band app that synced artists from who knows how far ago. youtu.be/fl30RSWa4gk?...

Crazy observation. The kids who went to shows together 20 years ago are still going to shows together. Armor for Sleep in St Louis for those curious. Makes me miss my music scene back home - Nowhere But Forty.

Why the hell am I sweating in my own home? Ohh it’s 73 and the air isn’t on because it’s nice out. Ok, air conditioning back on. I love the Midwest - hoodies one day and shorts and t-shirts the next!

Apparently I’m just all about the bands from down under this week. youtu.be/bCmtc-T5Unk?...

Since I couldn’t figure out this artist recommendation name when speaking with local bartenders but the wife nailed it in like 3 seconds. Dropping this for future Alex. No I don’t believe in notes apps. Welcome to my TED talk. youtu.be/evYXmAOiiyg?...

If you enjoy threaded discussions like what you see on message boards this experimental feature at the bottom for #BlueSky is awesome.

Still thinking about Japan. Luckily the local brewery was too with this inspired flavor.

I have no idea why St Louis City SC falls apart against Seattle. Down two nil already and Burki can’t get any help in front of the box.

Me: “I still listen to the same handful of albums from when I was 18.” Also me: “Wow! All my favorite bands are doing a tour and playing their album front to back to celebrate 20 years since release. Has it really been that long?” When getting old meets staying young.

Saw this really fun one over on the #PowerBI sub-reddit of someone using CSS in their reports. www.reddit.com/r/PowerBI/s/...
