Short updates, links, and thoughts that do not need to be full blog posts.

Some friends dropped of freshly picked cherries, so we pitted them and turned them into a cherry crumble. It was delicious!

The little town I now live it is a western rodeo town and they use the word bucked very differently than would be common in Northern Ireland. Having the sense of humour a 15 year old boy this provides me with no end of laughter. The town slogan is "Let 'er buck" and this morning I came across this sign and it cracked me up.

A chalkboard sign that says: “Now open 6-10. Party too hard? We have a tea for that Bucked too hard 10% off all week”

I really wish someone had taught me about investing and compound interest when I was younger!

Just bottled my second batch of beer. The first batch didn’t turn out great. Hoping this one is better!

Sixteen brown glass bottles filled with beer. They are all aligned so that the American flag bottle caps are facing the same direction.

I finally got my PC built today. Everything is working as expected and I’ve been able to run a few games etc. I decided to go with NixOS as the operating system as I love the nix package manager.

America is mad. From every window in my house I can see at least one USA flag. From most windows I can see 3 or more. 🇺🇸 🦅

I wonder if we could advance the use of semantic, accessible html on the web by showing that it makes it easier of AI agents to use and understand. We should have to, but if it helps… 🤔

This is my first time watching the #superbowl. There are so many ads. There has been maybe 10 minutes of action in the first half! Is this what American Football is?!

We got a bit of sunshine this morning so I spent it sitting by the window playing guitar. Not a bad start to the weekend.
