I've been using this account as my primary for about a week now, and I'm think I'm settled on using it for the foreseeable future, so I guess it's time to do another #introduction post.
I'm a dad of four kids, and a web developer. I have a college degree in #Theater (or #Theatre) and had aspirations of being an actor. I kind of fell into web development as a career. It was a hobby back in high school, and I just needed to pay some bills after college, so I ended up doing this.
I always have aspirations to do other things, but for now, I'm pretty happy spending most of my time as a dad and husband.
Some day, I'd like to get back into #acting, or maybe do some #VoiceActing. I also enjoy #writing and will, from time to time, post some #MicroFiction, usually from somebody's #WritingPrompt.
I love #StarTrek, and usually watch at least one episode nearly every day. I like all #SciFi really, though, as well as #fantasy. I used to read a lot, but find I don't have as much time or mental capacity for it as I used to. I also enjoy watching #anime, and have really been enjoying the new episodes of #Bleach lately.
Feel free to follow me if you think we have similar interests, and I may follow you back, if I think likewise.

I’m starting a new service that connects people that purchased a large appliance with children that have no box fort.
This is incredible: Pre-writing an obituary for your enemy, who you pre-decease by nearly 5 years, and then having the outlet run the obit when the MF finally dies: https://www.statnews.com/2025/11/07/james-watson-remembrance-from-dna-pioneer-to-pariah/

Would you like to make your PeerTube accounts and videos more visible? Do you want to reach more viewers and more followers?
I've done a guide to promoting your PeerTube accounts, channels and videos at:

I've tried to list everything I could think of, let me know if I've missed anything! 🙂
Just going to start adding “Linux” to posts to get more boosts.
@maxleibman @stefano runs a network of fediverse weather forecast accounts.
These are not bots in the sense of automated accounts interacting with a platform's API as you would do on Twitter, or even Mastodon, rather, each account is an individual "fediverse object", to simplify a bit.
You couldn't achieve this on Twitter/X, as that's a centralized platform and requires the use of their API, nor Bluesky, as hosting the full infrastructure is too complex and expensive.
Hymnal: This song should be played between 85 and 105 beats per minute.
Organist: Got it. 65 beats per minute.
Me (under my breath): I need to start attending a black church.
TIL about Ayuba Suleiman Diallo, a slave-trader who was captured and sold as an enslaved person to his own clients. After managing to free himself and return home, he continued to be a slave-trader

One of the benefits of remote work is that when I'm in a meeting, and I've got a song stuck in my head, I can mute myself and hum the song to myself without actually interrupting the meeting.
I wonder if the judges on The Voice ever want to choose neither contestant during the battle rounds.

We’re doing fantastic things with candy imports. Tremendous things. Two Snickers bars for every one that crosses the border. It’s called leverage-- very smart people are talking about it.
- Poe's The Raven is canonically set in December.
- The narrator is reading at night by the light of his fire.
- The narrator hears a rapping on his chamber door.
- The caller turns out to be a raven.
- The Norse god Odin is identified with ravens.
- Odin is also identified with Santa Claus.
- Ergo: the poem is about a December night visitor associated with ravens who, upon finding the chimney impassable due to fire, comes to the door and leaves a black gift as repayment for the occupant's ill deeds.
The Raven is a Christmas carol. QED.
Most people don't know this, but Himalayan salt lamps come from the small town of Himalaya, South Dakota.
Family generations successively having fewer and fewer kids is called a receding heirline.
I will not be taking questions.
My work #EMR at now has integrated #AI that summarizes a patient's chart whether I want it to or not. This week it told me the wrong reason for admission, the wrong hospital course, and the wrong medications as compared against the human-written discharge summary. To review it and find the error took 3 minutes; to document the error and report it took another 10.
Anchoring bias exists. What we read stays with us, truth or lie, influencing decisions.
And I can't turn it off.
This government #shutdown is literally the dumbest thing on Earth.
And to think-
All they had to do was give funding to needed #healthcare so people don't die.
Why even have a government if it doesn't do anything for you?
We should just get rid of them at this point.
You can pry the Oxford Comma from my cold, dead, and third adjective hands.
It's November, so I won't be vembering for 30 days. Thank you for your support.
