Rare change this afternoon with me feverishly working on my Mac Pro getting a bunch of stuff done. Running a ton of apps and everything working hard. It’s clear I need more cores though. It’s all just busy.
Electric Outlet Debugging
A few months ago I took the plunge back into aquariums. I got a small, mini-reef setup and put it in the basement. We were trying to figure out where to put it and considering a lot of things including shade from natural light, viewing options, cleaning clearance and very importantly proximity to electricity.

Tiny Tonka T-Ball
Mazie and I had our very first Tiny Tonka T-Ball game last night. Sorry, no pictures or video from it. Tammy had plans, and I’m one of the coaches! Next week we’ll get some media coverage.
Of course Mazie just turned 3 a couple of weeks ago and you may be asking how exactly t-ball works [...]
