Yes, I’ll shave the ‘stache. It looks ridiculous and I only did it for fun.

So, I got Colette, my 10yo daughter, her first mechanical keyboard today. She’s so excited and I’m so proud! Looking forward to keycap hunting with her 😍

After some hiccups, the emulation PC is starting to shape up! 4TB of storage in a RAID1 array, AMD 4750g APU, 16 GB of RAM, and an internal 256GB SSD.

Notably, Cemu seems to run really well. Looking forward to cheating in Breath of the Wild 😜

I'm finally all caught up on For All Mankind. I really enjoyed season two, but I have to admit that the fates and paths of some of my favorite characters was quite a letdown. Still, it's a fantastic show and I definitely recommend it.

Earlier tonight, I put some boneless short ribs into a sous vide bath for a 48 hour soak. I think it’s time to put myself in a one hour hot tub soak. Seems fair. #NightTubbin

My new emulation PC arrived today and I still have no idea how anyone can use Windows on a daily basis. It’s like a seven layer burrito dip of legacy. You’re always one or two clicks away from Windows 95.

For the flight home, I am thinking about watching Nomadland, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Worth it?

Finally got around to watching Jojo Rabbit on my flight today. Taika Waititi is a genius. Hilarious, beautiful, heart-wrenching, and triumphant all at the same time. If you haven’t yet seen it, I’d encourage you change that soon!

We’ve been working our way through For All Mankind, and it’s a fantastic show. Season two has been incredibly strong. If you haven’t given it a chance, I highly recommend it.

I ordered a mini PC with a Ryzen 4750G APU in it three weeks ago to be my new emulation box, and it hasn't shipped yet. These Ryzen APUs are hard to come by, largely due to the strong integrated GPU, and the discrete GPU shortage. Thanks for nothing, crypto-jerks. 👾🕹️

We said goodbye to my last remaining grandparent this morning. She transitioned peacefully to her new home. I’m thankful for the wonderful blessing she was in my life. Rest well, Nonna. I love you so much. Give Billy a huge hug for me. 🙏🏼💕

So, I bought a hot tub like an old person. It’s good to be old.

Finally getting around to watching “For All Mankind” on Apple TV+. We are about halfway through the first season and it’s so much better than I expected. Highly recommended!

What a challenging, hectic, and satisfying week this has been. Scaling a business with triple digit growth is a unique experience, but when you make it work, it’s truly incredible.

Fine, build me a Matrioshka Brain and you can mint all the NFTs you want.

I just uttered the statement “I have a flask pocket in these sweatpants,” and that’s pretty much the most quarantine thing I’ve ever said.

One of my favorite things to do when I visit Palm Springs is to go to Lappert’s, get a Dole Whip Float, then mix in some dark rum when I get back home. Lazy tiki cocktail 😎🌴🍹

For those that are curious, I wrote up a summary of how I integrated my personal health data from Apple HealthKit into my website. - https://cleverdevil.io/2021/taking-control-of-my-personal-health-data

Today, I finished up the first phase on my personal health tracking system. I have all of my HealthKit data since roughly 2015 in my personal data lake. You can see visualizations here: https://cleverdevil.io/health and I also have integrated health data into my monthly summaries, such as https://cleverdevil.io/summary/2020/01
