I have the same problem writing code as prose - sometimes it's better to write out all the bad stuff, that you know is bad as you're writing it, than not to write anything at all.
Even though you're going to rewrite / refactor most of it later, it's getting you started.

@QuinnyPig Sound design can go underappreciated in podcasts. If you find your keystrokes are not quite hitting the right note of dire percussion, perhaps try a daisywheel printer with embedded keyboard…

@jessfraz More evergreens in the Bay Area, so more needles. Down in LA it’s fronds from all the palm trees.

(If you do move there, try and stay close to the water or out of the valleys until your large scale carbon capture project goes online… it can get very hot!)

@BenKuchera Honestly, “Flirting with Disaster.” No idea why but these clusters have always been cross-linked on my filmic file system. And I know they aren’t related. But that doesn’t mean Southern Culture on the Skids isn’t playing “Camel Walk” in my head right now.

@JasonDeArte Oppenheimer doesn’t handle telling both of its stories equally well, but it’s still interesting. Barbie is much better written, even if it does feel like it’s about to fall to pieces in the third act.
Finished the day with Midsommar, which is awfully good.

Credits say the audio post work was at Skywalker Sound _and_ some recording at John Ford @ 21CF lot, so technically my parent has worked on both Indy 3 and 5. I wish you'd gotten to see this one, Wynne. I love you.

Dial of Destiny was pretty good - aside from pacing issues, it had "PWB Action Heroine," a fun but thematically consistent third act and a relevant update to the "when's it okay to punch Nazis" question. ("Wherever and whenever a Nazi is present," in case you wondered.)

@jaxzin Congrats! I hope the work continues to challenge and inspire you for many more years.

[Steven Wagner @leftathome]

@jaxzin Always two, there are.

@tvaziri Meanwhile, on Peacock…

[Steven Wagner @leftathome]

I work with some really great people.

@adamhjk And here I thought it was a _coincidence_ that I wore an old Opscode shirt today... looks like a sign that I should check this out! :D

@mikejulian And, for that matter, it's super helpful for the professional training and certification industry.

@QuinnyPig @mikejulian @googlecloud They'd call it "Leaving money on the table as a service," but that's literally the definition of tipping and therefore resistant to patenting and trademarking.

@sherrod_im I find that, as long as you can comfortably go, it's almost always better to go to a show than not if you're already on the fence about it...

[Steven Wagner @leftathome]

@theavalkyrie I say go for it - start building that audition reel for the actual Muppets.

[Steven Wagner @leftathome]

Either the hardware and tooling has gotten a lot better around running a decent home CA in the last ten years, or spending that long in an enterprise environment means I've lost touch with what "easy" really means.

[Steven Wagner @leftathome]

@NekomimiScience Can we also add Woolly (of Woolly and Tig) to the wish list?

[Steven Wagner @leftathome]

@BenKuchera Well, look at what removing penalties, substitutions and time limits did for Rollerball.

… wait a minute.

[Steven Wagner @leftathome]

@BenKuchera @Blizzard_Ent Can you also see if they have my label-maker? I was hanging out with the infrastructure team and we were trying to come up with the worst possible labels to put on big red Emergency Power-Off buttons in data centers...
