My Hugo-based blog, which should render Markdown without complaint, was not rendering my Markdown links correctly. Spent 20 minutes trying to debug the problem, failed, and so I reverted to regular HTML links. They rendered perfectly.
Realized that I have been writing HTML since 1997 and it is still the best tool for the task. I’m really enjoying Hugo + Markdown, but HTML is still the boss.
Scientists Say If We’re Extremely Lucky, This Asteroid May Put Us Out of Our Misery

Was sorting through some files on an ancient backup server and stumbled upon an decade-old Bitcoin wallet. I vaguely remember trying some mining back in the day – had I just unearthed some forgotten treasure?? Could I be rich???
Nope. Totally empty.

Something I do most Sundays: prepping the garlic for the meals that I will be preparing during the week. It’s just a small thing, but it probably saves me 5-10 minutes of prep time for 2-3 meals. It’s still plenty fresh and I know what I am getting (you can buy containers of pre-peeled garlic, but it has usually been sitting around a while.)
I guess I’m a little behind (forgive me, but my un-played game queue is decades long) but Thronefall is a pretty fun little game! Great twist on my beloved tower defense genre. It’s also great on the Steam Deck!
Cloudflare is out here doing the lord’s work for those of us who generate content online (since if I mainly just shitpost, I figure I am doing humankind a favor by enabling this.)

Sportsball weekend in Rhode Island.
I could not possibly more excited for season 2 of Severence to debute. The early reviews are all great, and the “promo” at Grand Central this week was brilliant marketing: deadline.com/2025/01/s…
I’ll admit that the first 2-3 episodes of the series were an incredibly slow burn and I almost gave up, but by the season finale I was willing to die for main characters. That final scene!

No matter the role — TV, movies, video games — Lance Reddick brought his A-game. RIP to an absolute legend who elevated everything he acted in. Gone too soon. What a loss for us all.
