Here's a thing I wrote about running, and why it's great except for the running part:

My publisher notified me of another sale on my Androids audiobook:
50% off, so it's just $10.
The promotion runs through January 26th.

(If you already have it / listened to it / read it: thanks! I hope you enjoyed it!)

We have two cats.
One is like a close friend: very playful and affectionate.
The other is like a colleague: our relationship is purely professional, and touching is terribly inappropriate.

Loaded nachos are the Jenga of appetizers.
One wrong move and you have a complete mess on your hands.

I chased a longstanding network speed issue to a specific ethernet cable in my house.
I unplugged and tested it: it performed fine. I plugged it back in and the network worked perfectly.
Clearly a case of Schrödinger's Cat6.

@Teolemon Eras are named by the survivors. I doubt I will live through another.

I just used the last swab from a mega Costco Q-tip box.
It's the end of an eara.

Don't have the Androids audiobook yet?
Or need a second copy to listen to it in stereo?

After spending 3 hours on a 3.4 mile journey on i680 yesterday, it was hard not to appreciate the sarcasm in this exit ramp sign.
Well played, Caltrans.

I ran a half marathon in Chicago this morning. I'm not sure my head is in the right place for racing.
In the last mile, someone had a sign that read "IF YOU RUN FASTER YOU'LL FINISH FASTER," which made me think, "Finish *Sooner*, not *Faster*"

@vinayw @yigitboyar The same fate as all conference badges. The only difference with my badges was the long delay I injected into their journey for inexplicable reasons.

@vinayw @yigitboyar I left Google to go back to school. Isn't that what everyone does?

Wait, you *still* haven't listened to #AndroidsBook? What are you waiting for? A sale?
Good call: my publisher is selling the audiobook for 50% off until May 11 here:

@atibhi_a @goodreads @kuangrf Golly, how nice to hear! And I'm so relieved that Androids avoided the Disappointed list!

[Chet Haase @chethaase]

I just donated all 2024 royalties from my Androids book to @BlackGirlsCode
(Previously, royalties were split between BGC and Women Who Code, but WWC dissolved this year. I guess I didn't sell enough books to keep them solvent.)

My main regret with the No Starch Press edition of my Androids book is that they somehow left out the intro quote from @ficus. It's such a perfect start to the story.
So we fixed the problem today for the books I had.

I changed my handle to my domain (@chethaase.com), which changed the profile URL (same account though, which retains anyone who followed via the previous handle)
