Pleasantly surprised by an exciting Grand Prix today. Spa is one of my least favorite tracks on the calendar, and with the new regulations I expected its shortcomings to be amplified. Instead, we got a nice battle for the win and plenty of passes. Super happy for CL16! Lewis’ penalty was B.S. #F1

"text": "I\u2019m on vacation, dangit. Signed off Tuesday evening. It took a while to actually disconnect \u2013 I still found myself absentmindedly loading up Slack on my phone and checking what messages and notifications I\u2019d received. I managed to keep it to only a few times a day, at least, but still not exactly the sort of proper separation from work I was aiming at.\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s now Saturday, four days later, and I\u2019m only really starting to feel disconnected and unwinding now. I\u2019m still wound a little tight, not going to lie, but I\u2019m a little less work-brained, at least. I\u2019m at Squam now, and it\u2019s a reunion year, so the house is filled to the gills with cousins and aunts and uncles \u2013 I can hear folks playing guitar together in the other room, while I\u2019m sitting out on the porch listening to the rain. (Despite the rain, I\u2019ve still made a point of swimming each day. As long as it\u2019s not thundering, swimming in the rain is actually kind of fun, it\u2019s interesting to basically be at eye level with the raindrops hitting the lake.)\n\n\n\nSince it\u2019s a reunion year, I get to see folks I don\u2019t see as often, and inevitably the question comes up of what\u2019s new in my life and what I\u2019m up to \u2013 one thing I sort of appreciate about my family is that when they ask that sort of question, it does seem to generally be about what you\u2019re doing with your life, not necessarily what you\u2019re doing for a living. (As a side note, I\u2019m pretty sure most of my family only has a vague idea of what I do, basically just that it has something to do with computers.) I have some things to share at least, about the selling the house and the figuring out what to do next after that, but also reminds me just how much is up in the air. I genuinely don\u2019t know where we\u2019ll be in a year, let alone five. Not really even a plan, just some vague ideas. That is both exciting and a little scary when you think about it.\n\n\n\nThe priority has been on socializing with folks, but my social battery drains pretty quick, so I\u2019ve also been ducking out to hide and recharge a bit like now. Something I appreciate about here is that\u2019s actually pretty easy to do without it getting weird or having to find somewhere esoteric to extract myself to. That reminds me \u2013 because pop psych is always fun, there\u2019s apparently a new \u201cthird\u201d -vert option: there\u2019s introverts, there\u2019s extroverts, and now there\u2019s\u00a0otroverts. The Wikipedia page has a succinct description:\n\n\n\n\nAn otrovert is someone who identifies as an eternal outsider in groups, even when they are friendly and socially capable.\u00a0Media descriptions of otroverts commonly emphasize emotional independence from groups, original thinking, low interest in joining or in adopting group rituals,\u00a0and a tendency to seek depth in a small number of relationships rather than broad group belonging.\n\n\n\n\nI took the test and it identified me as an otrovert. I\u2019m not remotely surprised, but honestly I\u2019m not putting much credence in it all, since frankly I feel like that definition basically just describes modern human existence \u2013 who\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0feel like an outsider in most groups these days? Anyone? Bueller?\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve been catching up on my RSS feeds, finally \u2013 I\u2019m most of the way through March at this point. I thought about just declaring feed bankruptcy and starting from here, but I don\u2019t want to. It\u2019s a nice way to find out about cool and interesting new projects, which makes me feel at least somewhat connected and clued in about what\u2019s happening out there. Even the more inane posts still feel like at least a reminder that there\u2019s other humans out there, and that what I\u2019m reading feels vaguely organic and not prepackaged. I might be in the minority, but I\u2019m sick of Content\u2122. I\u2019d rather get what someone wants to share and talk about as a person, not as a personality, and while I still respect professional writing and journalism quite a bit, when it crosses into feeling like talking as a personal brand, it\u2019s started to feel increasingly gross.\n\n\n\nBut that\u2019s just me, and maybe I\u2019m just in a Mood.",

The Odyssey was brilliant filmmaking. The source material is impossible to fully adapt, but they managed to do a very good job. Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway were outstanding, as was Tom Holland. Pattinson was… pretty bad.

Now that I’ve finished 007, I’m on the hunt for a new game. I’ve never played Assassin’s Creed before and am tempted to try the remake of Black Flag, but unsure if it’s a bad idea to jump into the series there. I prefer single player adventure games… open to suggestions!

I got a new domain after voicing an idea I’ve mulled over for a while: mutualaid.rocks. I still don’t know the exact shape of it, but I think it will start as a collection of resources for groups getting started or experiencing pain points with the tech side of things. Dreaming bigger, perhaps eventually offering some open source software to help with those, avoiding less ethical big tech services.
