Oh, yeah, I did work out today: 10-4-4-4-4-11. With breaks to let the guy hang on the bar, etc. Quite leisurely.

“You don’t have to take your shirt off to poop.” —A thing I just said to the guy which made my life seem extra absurd.

Aw man, scallions in tuna sandwiches? :chef-kissing-fingers:

10-4-4-4-4-10.

Here's a simple script for getting markdown files in a certain date range (assuming the files use a common Zettelkasten naming convention in which every file starts with YYYY-MM-DD).

I took notes on this this time, hoping to end the need to spend 30 minutes looking stuff up every time I write a bash script.

I ran down a hill with the guy 25 times yesterday. He said he wanted to do it 30 times, but I imagined he'd tire out or get bored after three runs. He only stopped because his shoe came off and his foot got soaked.

I was thinking of it in workout terms, as it was a lot of work, but he told me it was actually a lot like sledding to him. He liked that the gravity "fastened him up" (by which he means "sped him up").

Then, (I don't know if these events are connected) I slept 12 hours last night. It's nice to not feel sleepy, which I've had a lot of trouble with for the last few weeks, but now I'm worried I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Running down a hill is good is my only conclusion here.

I decided to move my podcast. It's at jimkang.com/smallfindings now. (The individual episode pages aren't finished yet, though.) The RSS feed that you should point your podcast app to is here. There's plenty of material for the new episode. Hopefully, I'll have it ready by Monday.

Someone should write a song about Darwin set to the tune of "Oh, My Darling" and call it "Oh, My Darwin."

Things giving me life:

1. Really good coffee that my mother-in-law sent me from Little Waves Coffee Roasters.
2. The new Testament album. I was never a huge fan of the classic '80s Testament albums, but they seem to really have retained an enthusiasm for playing thrash while getting better and more focused for the last 20 years. There's Gene Hoglan drumming and a lot of good riffs, but most of all, Titans of Creation has a real headbanging feel missing from even new that kind of new thrash that tries really hard to have an '80s feel. It's a more elusive feel than you'd think it would be.
