I removed nearly all the news and social media apps from my phone a month ago and wrote about it: derek.broox.com...log/media-detox

I listened to music on Spotify this year.

My website has been slow as shit. My DB, along with many of its definitions are literally 20 years old, so I revisited it. 95% of the issue was poorly defined indexes and a couple bad query patterns that haven't scaled with my data. Duh.

So, remember to revisit your indexes every once in a while.

My neighbor is out here in a dumpy old snowplow, clearing the 1” dusting of snow off his driveway while blaring Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

#FirstSnowOfTheYear

I’ve reached the age where I need a good session of stretching and foam rolling my back before bed.

Feels pretty good tho.

I’ve been abusing my bod this holiday season and it’s barely begun.

It’s remarkable how much better my mood is while driving in holiday traffic in a vehicle with adaptive cruise control.

Getting to say that we’re skeetin on the skyline is reason enough to be on Bluesky, imo.

I just spelled the word “crashed” like “crached”

… and now I’m going to step away from my computer for a bit.

My therapist pointed out that my self esteem is pretty directly tied to how productive I am… and I’ve been having a ton of productivity failures lately.

Feels bad, man.

I kinda regret choosing to build my website with Nuxt. I want to love it, but it’s just too easy to get into buggy states, hard to troubleshoot, and so many things that should be straight forward are not.

We know too much about too many people.

Debounce is a really stupid word.

Kari said she needed some joy in her life… so we’re spending this Saturday evening decorating for Christmas… 2 weeks early.

Hey, did Mike Tyson punch out that queef yet?

I’ve been having issues with Apple photos, where certain pics are becoming corrupt to the point where I can’t even edit them. I’m not doing anything crazy with my library… just using the software on 2 devices.

Booked a couple plane tickets to Banff. May not return. Plz send tips.

It’s fun to see my buds all joining Bluesky. Feels like 2006 twitter.

I’m finding myself to be way more productive after removing most of the social media and news apps from my phone.

I did catch my self habitually doom scrolling my email the other day tho. lol.

There’s something about the old Insane Clown Posse albums that I still find incredibly therapeutic in times like this.

Probably has something to do with the horror stories about torturing bigots, racists, sexual predators, and other pieces of shit.
