Got a decent view of the stage for the Seattle Kraken expansion draft announcement. And just found out that the draft list was leaked. I’ll try to act surprised.


Passed by Lady Liberty on our Circle Line Cruise yesterday and she said to tell you all “Happy Independence Day!”


Finished reading: Killing Floor (Jack Reacher, No. 1) by Lee Child 📚


Finished reading: The Quiet Boy by Ben H. Winters 📚 I didn’t quite buy a couple of critical story hooks, but found myself engrossed nevertheless. The main character’s choices lead him into a slow-motion car wreck that’s hard to look away from. ⭐⭐⭐1/2


Finished reading: All the Ugly and Wonderful Things: A Novel by Bryn Greenwood 📚 A remarkable book. Challenging, sweet, disturbing, romantic, and heartbreaking. I couldn’t put it down. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Many years ago, I was an Improvisor at SAK Comedy Lab in Orlando. Several of my friends are still there, and I have thought about them often during Covid. Great article in Vox about how they’re coping:

Well, this is a beautiful sight. Dropped in the replacement power supply and the MK3S is in business! Just needed a few tweaks to get the filament to stick, but now it’s cranking out prints pretty well. It’s faster and a lot quieter than the MK2S. A very worthwhile upgrade.


Great article by a medical expert on the use cases (not many) and accuracy (pretty good, under some circumstances) of the blood oxygen sensor in the new Apple Watch.

The Paramedic’s Guide to Blood Oxygen and the Apple Watch Series 6 - TidBITS

Heat bed and power supply are installed. My able assistant is taking a nap in the background.
