No, honey, I wasn’t hyperventilating, I was doing Wim Hof breathing exercises. It’s a great reset, but the good kind.

Not surprised they’re considering requiring Covid-1984 tests to fly domestically. Glad I don’t have to get on an airplane anytime soon.

This whole Sales Kick Off thing is throwing off my schedule. On the plus side, at least I’m home and can get a run in outside. Wasn’t one of my better runs, though.

They've got Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie from Whose Line is it Anyway as entertainment for our Sales Kick Off. Guess when you don't have to pay to fly everyone everywhere, you can afford some quality entertainment.

2020 was NOT fine. 🙄

It's a two-pot of French Press morning.

Always better when the solution is to a problem on production is solved by “push code to production” versus try and debug code on the staging environment you didn’t write…and appears to be working.

So, yeah, I got interviewed for a podcast and it was day job related.

Second chromakey cloth came. Added some lighting purchased for my daughter she is no longer using and a dryer sheet over the USB-powered light source sitting on top of a box behind the laptop. Hilarity will ensue.

A lady asked me if my feet were cold as I ran by in my sandals. “I don’t even feel them,” I told her. My arms are definitely way colder. 😬

One thing about a virtual Sales Kick Off: the mad dash for the exits doesn't take nearly as long. On the other hand, you're also sitting alone in your house with no chance to socialize with anyone afterwords.

Getting to a point where I don’t even want to consume tech news. I mean, a lot of it is just PR releases anyway, I guess, but they also cover companies that I care less and less about as time goes on.

Looks like the handle needs to be jiggled on the Internet...East Coast US anyway. https://finance-yahoo-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/internet-outage-hits-us-east-cost-taking-down-gmail-slack-and-amazon-aws-174704900.html?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHKAFQArABIA==#aoh=16116860433484&referrer=https://www.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251$s&ampshare=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/internet-outage-hits-us-east-cost-taking-down-gmail-slack-and-amazon-aws-174704900.html

People wonder why I keep so many cables. Because, occasionally, you'll find a use case for it and you'll be glad you had it.

Audio cables I bought 25 years ago? Still work nicely.

I've already had to do a Wim Hof breathing session this morning. How's your day going so far?

And then I get an email from my Uncle Jim and I feel like I'm not entirely crazy. Granted, he worked in the military industrial complex and knows people and things.

As if having a single green screen wasn’t bad enough, I just ordered another chromakey drop cloth. Because, you know, more is better or something.
