I’m in the Los Angeles area for a bit and I got the chance to ride the LA Metro A Line. It was kinda good but it also sucks.
Rehosting my grandma’s obituary:
I finished the 2024 New York City Marathon on November 3 with a time of 3:48:51. It didn’t go exactly how I’d hoped, but I’m still happy that I ran it, and it was fun.
Here’s a song I recently made for a puppet show. It’s a version of Ants Go Marching made for a puppet show about ants in a graveyard called Frankantstein.
Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism is a perfectly-sized collection of sweet summer songs for the end of a relationship. At least early in the tracklist, the sound album is not as much of a sonic departure from Future Nostalgia as that album was from Dua Lipa. Nevertheless, it’s clear that Dua Lipa and her sound have grown together since her last album.
I ran the 2024 Shamrock Shuffle this past Sunday in downtown Chicago. Although the weather was a little chilly, the opportunity to run through the streets of the Loop made it a memorable experience.
Last week, I attended my first in-person KubeCon at KubeCon North America 2023. I learned a lot and it gave me a lot to think about in connection with my team’s work.
The Honors thesis that I wrote in my senior year of college is now publicly available in the OhioLink Electronic Theses & Dissertations Center. I submitted it before graduating, but it took some time before it became available. It’s titled “Error Handling Approaches in Programming Languages.”
I liked Carly Rae Jepsen’s new album The Loneliest Time. I really did. But maybe I feel disappointed because I expected to love it. I’m not trying to rag on it — there were so many big and little things I liked about this album, and so many songs I enjoyed — but it’s hard for CRJ to live up to her previous work. Perhaps I shouldn’t expect that of her.
