Milo said today that Germany has the best national anthem of any country on Earth. I admitted that I'd never actually heard it, so he went to his iPad and played Deutschland by Rammstein.

Decide on a movie. Search six subscription streaming services and discover that to watch it, I'd need to add a seventh. The promise of streaming entertainment sounded great before we actually had it. We need Blockbuster back.

Everyone doing okay?

It seems like making your private key 4 would take more work than just doing the regular thing.

Oh. I just realized it stands for “I am not a lawyer” and now I have like 15 years worth of inputs from across the socials to recalibrate in my head.

This was a fun weekend project. I have a big queue of things to add. It might turn out pretty useful if I can get a few friends using it. clankoverflow.com

Dear very large bank with plenty of money to do things right, If you're going to require SMS confirmation for something, make sure your messages go out fast enough that the session they correspond to hasn't expired. Thank you.

German is such a handy language for tiny children. Teddy can switch between English and German quite naturally, and the verb "mach" lets him work around any word he doesn't know in either language. "Daddy, hold this and don't mach it broken."

Every time there's a bit of unrest in France, the "France has Fallen" feed goes wild. It is, I'll admit, a weird phenomenon. But this is just how they express their discontent. France has not fallen. They're just being a little extra French this week. It'll be fine.

My wife is out of town for the week. She usually makes ahead a few meals before she leaves to make sure the kids get some vitamins. She didn’t this time. So tonight it’s smash burgers and roti fries.

We're out of stealth mode. One month until the official launch, this is what's been keeping us quiet and busy for the last couple of months. scalpels.app/street-team

Feature request for the @laravel.com Cloud team: An orphan filter on the resources pages. I could probably have my agent identify and delete orphaned resources, but that seems just slightly risky. Unless the CLI has something preventing attached resources from being deleted.

My daily routine now includes pulling underpants out of my backpack and asking moms “are these yours?” No, I’m not going through a creepy phase. The daycare is trying (with limited success) to potty train our kids and they don’t do a great job of sorting out the wets before sending them home.

AI is going to unite and radicalize people, and these companies are bringing on themselves. Yesterday’s message was “Best case scenario, you’ll lose your job. Worst case is you all die. Either way, we will happily steal anything you have of value to ensure we get rich along the way.”

I just heard one 12-year old say to another 12-year-old “Your mom’s so slow it took her nine months to make a joke.” Switzerland really is 1980s America.

Have you built a SaaS in Laravel and not shipped it? Or did you ship it and not get any traction, so you gave up? If so, I want to chat. Shoot me a DM and loan me 30 minutes of your time. I can't promise you anything other than a laugh or two, but I need to know where ships are sinking.

My neighbor is standing outside in the pouring rain, watering her trees with a hose. I desperately want to ask her why, but my desire to stay dry is slightly stronger than my curiosity.

Milo is gone for the rest of the week on an alpine adventure with his class. Teddy has a cold and passed out before his mom got home from work. So we skipped the normal dinner ritual and just had beans on toast. A perfect evening.

Teddy loves playing hide and seek. He could play it all day. But he always wants to the the one to hide. And he always hides in the same place. So basically I’ve turned into a method actor preparing to play an extra in a zombie movie.

Listen, if you’re not happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship either, happiness comes from picking a new hobby and then buying all the things to start that hobby then finding the perfect little storage container for those things and then putting that storage container in the spare room

You might have seen the test preview I posted of artisan-tv.com a few weeks ago. I'm working on the channel lineup for the site, and I asked Claude to take a look at the channels I'm proposing and add others that are likely to appeal to this audience. It added a channel focused on trains.

Just about every day since May has been at least 90 freedom units. We have broken the planet and the planet has broken me. Until the average daytime temperature dips into the 70s, I indent to sit on the floor, rocking back and forth, and mumbling to myself. See you in October.

Milo has had a very tough week, so instead of our usual homework time, I surprised him and his best friend with a luxury movie experience. The movie was intentional. The luxury surprised me too. This place is the business class of cinemas.

Life Hack: Don't wake up at 1:30 on a Wednesday morning with the fully baked solution to a months-long problem perched precariously at the edge of your mind. This is what I get for not drinking on school nights.

There was a man sitting completely naked on the sink in a public restroom bathing himself with hand soap. He emerged 15 minutes later wearing a nicely pressed suit and carrying a briefcase. So I guess don’t judge a book by its cover, even when there is no cover.
