Bricked Ring. So, what do we call it? Dead as a Doorbell? Dead Ringer?

Sighted in a planning paper today: "...lift-and-sh*t workloads..." It was a typo for sure, but... I don't hate it?

Our oldest has reached the "go walk across the flat roof and unplug that scupper box" stage. Mature enough to not fall off, small and light enough that it's much easier to fit through the window and walk down the metal, and young enough that he thinks it's fun. #winning 😁

Random #avgeek find - this flight, NASA747 is a very rare and special aircraft. It's the SOPHIA infrared observatory. An IR 2.5m telescope mounted in the side of a 747 with a big door that opens at altitude. This is one of only 6 shortened 747SP aircraft in operation.

Hey Kirkland/Woodinville/Bothell folks. If you want to help out a great business, go here and buy donuts. Don't say anything about this post, just buy yummy donuts. My wife's friend helped save this business during the pandemic and she won't let us pay. maps.app.goo.gl/nagdecV5zCJ4un…

Folks, if your like Audi USA vehicles, I gotta tell you, Audi Seattle is THE PLACE. They are stellar on service, and also just helped me resolve a paperwork problem with the IRS to get credit for my EV (etron). I didn't even buy this car from them, but the next one I sure will!

Recruiter: perhaps you missed my message about a job that matches your experience/keywords from 10 years ago? Me:

TFW you accidentally stab something under the edge of your fingernail and it hurts every time you type for days. 😢

Why yes, I did just spend 10 minutes playing with the control software for the LEDs on my computer's DIMMs. Wut?

"NTD" is my least favorite new jargonism. ("need to drop" made into the least human form of "thanks everyone, see you later"). Hybrid seems to normalize leaving in the middle of a conversation in a way that would be awkward/rude in the real world.

When you're working on a home project all day, you should definitely start by putting a pork shoulder roast in the smoker. And yes, my IoT thermometer needs a firmware update. 🙄

TFW you're awake and online for a whole meeting before the "good morning" Viva Insights mail comes in... 🙃

Blue Angels show box entry path is basically the cul-de-sac in front of our driveway. Saturday show (with early smoke on) shot from my driveway, with scanner of the group channel. Have been enjoying this since Thursday. 😁

Happy Monday! We're launching our Arm-based VMs to GA this week. This morning we're lifting Preview gates so these are available to all accounts (rolling out through the day). GA officially is from Sep 1 (with SLA, etc.). Come one, come all! azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azu…

Y'all can rush for your shiny iPhones, but *I* got a stock alert for the Lego BTTF time machine and snagged it before it stocked out again. So I win. 😁

Am I the only one who thinks "warm pools" is a less than ideal name for a product feature?

So apart from the Google owned TLDs, what registrar are we all evacuating any domains to? Who do we believe in these days?

Today I got to meet the infamous David Fowler for a second, which was a cool way to end the day. I consider him the last person left on Twitter. Now I can delete this account I guess. :)
