Me last night #AURORA

👻 Our playroom has a ghost that turns the light on most evenings. I need to scrub through my Hubitat automations to bust it

😄 Google listened to my repeated complaints! not all light switches switch lights (saying “turn on the lights” no longer turns on the room’s ceiling fan too)

I had that reoccurring “nightmare” [theme] again last night. where the county has clear cut the woods behind my house. This time they drove their equipment through my fence … Oh did I mention they were stormtroopers?

Ya gotta love a good skeuomorph

💡IF Google Maps starts a route to “home” AND my @googlenest thermostat is set to eco THEN turn off eco (or at least ask) The lack of that👆 automagic makes returning from vacation less than delightful 🥵 #IoT #IxD #UX

Sipping some TEA, EARL GREY, HOT & catching up on Picard

TIL Philly was home to the first Automat restaurant in North America. Horn & Hardart opened their first location at 8th & Chestnut in 1902

Dear Santa, I’m not ready yet… can we reschedule??

There should be names for… 1- Sequels that resume a franchise after its planned or dormant end. 2- Sequels that confer canon to a new cohort, allowing the original cohort to retire. (This may now be required fan service to successfully continue a franchise) #nomenclature

Our upstairs AC stopped working 🙁 and yes Georgia Decembers are warm enough that the Nest switches back to cool most afternoons.

Ok internet, can we split the difference? Give me a conversational phone bot that can handle the actual options/substations/mods/plan-Bs that we take for granted at restaurants

I dislike ordering food online and that makes me feel OLD — and frustrated with the experience gap between ordering IRL / online.

I’m not ashamed to say I had no idea there was a Facebook outage.

My (almost) 3 year old’s first waking words today. “…is this Christmas?”

My iPad Mini 2 (2013) got its first stuck pixel just moments ago.

For the first time through this whole pandemic I was thanked for wearing my mask.

This morning’s random thought… Which came first, ZERO or BLUE?

It’s been a long time since I’ve had to make a dog vomit. But today my cattle dog mix ate ³⁄₄ cup of french onion soup. My hydrogen peroxide expired years ago, so I need the vet to make it happen.

FYI: onions, garlic, shallots, leeks are all toxic to dogs, even in very small amounts.
