  • Never forget that month 13 is out of bounds. (I’m looking at you, 2020. 👀) robservatory.com/month-13-…

  • 2021 Resolution #21: Remember more often that I can filter the variables pane rather than dig through the disclosure arrows.

    Filtering the variables pane for "navigationbar"

  • FYI, if you used “YYYY” in your date formatter, it’s already 2021. 😲

  • I should be surprised when I realize the data management system I’m designing/implementing is trending toward mimicking a Core Data in-memory store, but at this point I’m really not surprised.

  • 🎵Bob Mould Band, “LiveDog98: The Forum, London UK”

    Yeah, I’ve really been in the mood for raw Bob performances lately. 🤘

  • TIL you can still buy ringtones from the iTunes Store. 😳

  • Curse you Smoketember for breaking my year of monthly challenges streak. 😡

  • Ordered a “take and make” Christmas dinner from www.ethanstowellrestaurants.com . Pretty sure we screwed up a number of little things but it was still delicious! 😋

  • Do me a personal favor this holiday and double-plus love your loved ones. Hug them tight if you can be with them, let them know from a distance if you can’t. Just make sure they all know how much they mean to you. Thanks.

  • Been look into safety bars for our bath and toilet area and now I am angry at myself for ever expecting my in-laws to stay with us without them.

  • Subscribed to apps and media services in the App Store? Go review your account’s subs in the App Store app; some (particularly media subs) have annual discounts that they don’t make obvious in-app. Maybe you want to switch. (Maybe you want to wait until post-holiday.)

  • 🎵 I love to sing-a About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a 🎵

    I actually want to believe this is intentional. 🤣

  • We are on the… sixth?… play of “Running with the Wolves” from the “Wolfwalkers” soundtrack because it instantly became the 9yo redhead’s Power Song.

  • 🎵 Sweet! Cruzados’ “After Dark” is available in iTunes and Apple Music. The last time I checked, it wasn’t and I need to replace my copy.

  • I miss double-tap to zoom on web pages. 😫

  • Wife last night: “Why do you have glitter on your face?” Me: “Strip club.” Wife: “Ha ha. Really, there’s glitter.” Me: “Oh, must be from putting away the fancy ribbon 9yo got out for presents.” Wife: “Ah, OK.” Me: “That must be it, because I showered after the strip club.” 😈

  • OMG shipping this holiday season is madness. 🤯

    Delivery status stating that had been in Tacoma and Seattle WA today, now apparently in Oregon

  • Never try cancer, kids. Not even once. 😢

    Fuck cancer. 🤬

  • On the plus side, it’s actually a bit of a relief to not have a string of office and other holiday parties to dress up for (and line up a sitter) and get to this year.

  • “We all fight down here.”

  • Turns out we don’t have Xmas cookie cutters, so the kids ad libbed. Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear; rabbits; seahorse with scarf; unicorn converted to horse-w-Santa-cap; sweater; snow globes and ornaments.

  • Dammit, I am already planning to watch “The Fountain” and ugly cry again this holiday season. Believe it or not, it has become my “coping movie”.
