I was really excited to read that a company (Rocket Lab) wants to compete with SpaceX and Bezos, but their problem is that the founder looks like Syndrome from the Incredibles.

(It's a total non issue, but it's an uncanny resemblance for sure)

@ente.io I have a question maybe you can help with. The "killer feature" for photos apps for us is auto-sharing photos with a family member in them. If, say, my wife and I both use Ente, and want to auto-share albums of pictures we take with the other in them, can that be done with Ente?

There are only two kinds of books: those that start with a map, and those that don't.

I forgot to send to remind my children that it's St Patrick's day, so they all have gone to school without wearing green. I'm afraid they may not come back in one piece.

For the last few years, my kids have packed their own lunches. Lately they've grown tired of it.

In an effort to give them a change, I've offered to make their lunches.

So lesson learned - hazelnut coffee is for people who taste black coffee and their thought is "I wish that tasted more burnt"

Well, it strikes me that I've been pretty quiet on social media for a while.

To be honest, at times, I've wondered why I should even post. I feel like social media contains so many words, so much content, that surely nobody wants to read what I have to say, right?

Oh well, one must try.

It's actually snowing outside and everyone is losing their minds here in Raleigh

I've been lurking around on Bluesky for about two months now and have all but entirely left X. I should probably start posting on here.

I'll probably post about software engineering, tech, local NC issues, climate change, and probably other stuff too.

I ordered stamps to send out Christmas cards this year. Apparently it's really hard to have USPS deliver their own stamps? I'm in NC, and they were shipped from Kansas City. They're still not here, 6 days later

I am a proponent of more audaciously-designed public places, and this is absolutely incredible design

"Hey Tyler, reaching out about this project. I thought you might be interested because when I wrote the announcement, you responded with a Thinking Cowboy slackmoji"

My kids are beyond excited for this, but let's be honest. They would watch anything Minecraft. But even my wife is intrigued, so the whole family now gets to go see this. Jack Black is great
