In today's episode of "hardest problems in computer science", naming things again rears its ugly head as Interface Types makes its claim on ☃-IDL Bindings' Throne for the upcoming WebAssembly proposal. Winter has cometh.
I'm [accidentally] running a sale on shipping - including international- for pre-orders of A Cat's Guide to Money + planners/stickers. Go pre-order a copy for $1 shipping, or steeply discounted international shipping, before I figure out how to fix it! ohmydollar.com/book/
Gonna try out superdrug dye + glitter after seeing it on @ScarfDemon at SITC. Maybe I should film it "American girl tries British candy [coloured hair dye]" - would've done well in 2012 ;)

🌞🌳🌊🌁 #Sunday #longrun! Ran 14+ miles on tired legs.

Planned to do a half marathon after Saturday’s 11 miles of Marin trails, ended up a mile-ish more. Slow start, but drank/fueled and felt pretty strong in the second half of Golden Gate Park. Spreckels lake sparkled in the sunshine(2). Reached the beach(1) and felt encouraged to go further. Ran up to the Sutro Baths for a beautiful view(3) and thru Lands End for a clear view of the Golden Gate!(4)

Happened to look upward in the Sea Cliff neighborhood and see an old air raid siren(5). Against the deep blue sky it reminded me of Depeche Mode’s Music For The Masses:


By the time I ran up Lincoln Boulevard to the bridge, Karl the Fog had enveloped the tops of the towers(6). Ran down to the Warming Hut for another view(7) and over to Crissy Field Marsh(8).

Struggled up the final climb to the Presidio, and up to the top of Arguello Blvd, then easy cruising all the way home.

25+ mile weekend done! ✅

🌬💨☁️⛰🌁  Underprepared for unexpected weather, Saturday morning I nearly gave up on my trail run and went home.

I planned to start at 7am at the Tennesssee Valley parking lot, arrived at 7:05. Overcast as expected, yet much colder. In contrast to last week’s quiet fog bank (https://tantek.com/t51y1), the wind howled through the valley, bending treetops and swirling up dust like I’d never seen before. I’d only worn shorts and a t-shirt and wouldn’t last 10 minutes in that wind chill.

I sat in my car in parking lot for almost an hour waiting for it to warm up a bit and for the wind to quiet down, berating myself for having forgotten a long sleeve. Just before giving up and going home, I decided to double check the shallow depths of my trunk.

Tucked into the bottom of a beach bag I found an SF Marathon long sleeve. Threw it on, and took off up the fogged-in Marincello trail(2), connecting via Bobcat trail(3) to Alta trail’s lush peak(4) instead of the windy coastal route I’d planned.

The fog thickened on SCA trail(5), where I barely caught a view of the Golden Gate bridge(6) being overwhelmed by the fog. My favorite part of SCA trail is a brief lush forest tunnel(7) that I decided to stop and capture (usually I just run through it grinning). Soon after capturing the Golden Gate Bridge from a hill(1), I saw a couple of faster friends from the SFRC running crew and realized I had been running the opposite direction. Finished a short loop up the Bobcat trail(8), then returned down Marincello to the parking lot and barely made it to Good Earth just before 11, last call for breakfast sandwiches.

11 miles done ✅ (not the 21 I planned, calling this mental game a draw)

Afterwards I shared with a few trail running friends how I’d felt starting out, and they reminded me (correctly) to look more on the positive side:

“Good job sticking with it. Deposits in the grit bank” [that’s a good metaphor to keep in mind.]

“You toughed it out, nice job keeping it going in less than ideal conditions.”

Even if that run was a mental draw, knowing I got at least something done will be good to remember next time I face a similar challenge, perhaps in a race.

Yet another rehash

Working with people in both Europe and Australia basically means there are zero hours where you don't get emails and slack messages. It's always someone's work day 24 hours around the clock.
