Hiding in plain sight
Growing up, I was always under the belief that an a preceded consonants, and an preceded vowels. An owl, a telephone. But I was wrong. It turns out that it isn’t the letter that matters, but the sound. That is why we say an hour, because the h is silent, and we are really saying…

Upgraded
Open AI, the creator of ChatGPT, released their spring update today. This is big news, and the first time I have ever tuned into a tech product launch. If you haven’t seen it, you can check it out below. With all news, there are now two parts; the event, and the commentary. Let’s go through…

Mothers Day
Today was Mother’s Day, a very important day. What was special about this year’s event was that it is the end of an era; instead of celebrating one mother from now on, I’ll be celebrating two. Most of you dear readers already know this, but Kylene is pregnant with our first child. We’re expecting it…

Chicago
Today was a great day exploring Sweet Home Chicago with our friends Gina and Bennet. Chicago is one of the world’s great cities, and the weather today made it really shine. The first thing about Chicago that is so interesting is its position on the lake. And not just any lake, a Great Lake. Yep,…

Minor Leages

Chicken and rice
It’s the most popular meal in the world, apparently, and I got to enjoy it this evening. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity; while there are only two components, both can easily be screwed up, or elevated. Rice is a little finicky. I like to cook mine half stock, half water, and prefer Jasmine rice…

Late nights
Working late tonight. Not always fun, but what was needed to be done is done. Looking forward to waking up tomorrow knowing the day ahead of me is under control.

Windy
It was nuts this morning. Having grown up in Melbourne, I like to think I know my way around some gnarly weather, but I don’t think I have experienced ANYTHING as wild as what I dealt with this morning. As I wheeled my friend’s luggage to the Uber, the wind was legitimately whipping and nay…

A great weekend
This weekend, my friend Oliver came to visit us in Denver. It has been a terrific weekend, filled with everything fun you could imagine in Denver. Last night I wrote about our time hiking in the Rockies, and how cool it was to see the nature and animals. What I didn’t get to write about…
