Weeknote #71 (20260201-20260207)
meta
Pretty much just another week? It was my first week in the on-call support rotation at work, but it was (mostly) quiet…
did
- My local had their annual “mug club” party on Monday; it was good to see a whole bunch of folks
- Tuesday was the monthly social meetup at the local maker space; again, it was good to see a whole bunch of different folks
- Rest of the week was, as previously mentioned, pretty quiet…
read
- Continued reading The 4-Hour Chef, started The Jennifer Morgue
- The Moylan Arrow of software is a fun little design-focused post — do you know what the Moylan Arrow is? (I didn’t.)
- ‘AI’ is a dick move, redux — pretty much what it says on the tin
- My unread queue stands at 201, and friends, it was a real struggle to not read one thing real quick to get it back to 200… but I didn’t
watched
We’re past S16 of Criminal Minds, well into S17.
Lots of music videos this week:
- “David” by Noah Gundersen is a mean one:
I want to slay my demons / But I’ve got lots of them, I’ve got lots of them
- I’d never seen this particular version of Jawbreaker’s “Accident Prone” before, it’s one of my favorites
- Deep Dropkicks hole the past couple weeks, for reasons; start with “Who’ll Stand With Us” and then flow into “We Shall Overcome”
cooked
- Tuesday: weeknight tomato soup, garlic bread
- Wednesday: pork shoulder steak (brined overnight, reverse seared), green beans with bacon and parm
- Thursday: halibut with lemon-butter sauce and roast asparagus
- Saturday: steak tacos, basic black beans
