After a successful inaugural year, the Copper Kings 100 returns to Butte with some added local sponsorships.

The Copper Kings 100, an endurance race that starts and ends in Butte, involves runners taking on the challenge of 100 miles and nearly 14,000 feet of elevation gain.

Do I know anyone at Google Workspace? I am in the frustrating hell of trying to get approved by Goodstack, meanwhile TechSoup approves quickly for Slack. Our new foundation really needs email set up and would like go use Google.

Ultra runners, I’m the creator and race director of the Copper Kings 100. The 2026 dates are June 26-27, in Butte Montana. Registration opened this week and there are just 19 spots left. copperkings100.com #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #trailrunning

One of the next projects is an app to run on android tablets. For testing, can I buy the cheapest android tablet on Amazon? Or do I need to buy a certain level of quality or what do you recommend? I’ve never owned a non-Apple device so I feel out of my element. #Android

My dad said he tried to watch White Lotus S1E1 and only music played. No dialog. How could that happen?

From 1pm Friday April 4 until 12:10am Thursday April 10 I ran the inaugural Arizona Monster 300. It was wonderful to see old friends and to forge new bonds along the trail.

Paper cutter and laminator. So fun.

And here’s the copy. Please disseminate these images widely. Who needs to place ads in a newspaper that few people actually read anymore?

I’m in the market for some power stations, so I’m bombarded by ads for them. I’m amazed by the number of manufacturers in this space now. I have used and loved Goal Zero, does anyone have a recommendation from the current crop of 1KWh-2KWh power stations?

Worked on a van project that was helped by using a lift. It was awesome to be able to work under the vehicle while standing!

Despite waking up deeply sad, I eventually pushed myself out the door for my run. Glad I did.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

I have many videos on my YouTube channel that somewhere contain a useful answer to a question. Where's the AI service that indexes all my videos so I can search by spoken phrase, returning a YouTube link To The Time in the video the phrase is spoken? #postchat

25 years ago my dad and I started a software company called Automatic Duck, and it has been quite a journey. Today we are excited that our latest solution, a multicam flattener for Final Cut Pro, is available on the Mac App Store. apps.apple.com/us/app/multi... #Postchat #FinalCutPro #fcp #fcpx

My running assignment today was a 2 hour hike.

Bluesky should automatically generate image alt text. It would be a better first draft than nothing.

Ran a fat ass 50k today. I was nervous, as it would be my longest training run since my September DNF at Divide 200 and my fitness has generally felt slow to return. The run went well and running felt mostly great! I did have an underfoot blister I couldn’t fix, though, it made for a painful day.

I don't like the surveys that car manufacturers send out after service. The service advisors warn: "This is my report card. I hope you rate me 5 stars, anything less than a 10 is failing." The survey arrives: "How likely are you to recommend this dealer?" Dude, it was an oil change.

I saw two moose during my run today but I couldn’t get a photo in time.

Photos from my run today in Helena Montana.

Cold run this morning.

I'm using the Gemini 2 app to look for duplicate files on my NAS, but it is using a lot of RAM.

I was taught to archive everything after an edit, but this last year I produced more weekly VLOGs and even a podcast, and most of this source media Does Not need to be saved. I'm struggling to delete the files. Today, my NAS complained about space, so that might force me to let it go. #postchat

Big day for the Copper Kings 100, a new 100 mile endurance run I have been building for a few years— registration is now open for our first permitted event in June 2025! Single loop, 14,400 feet of gain, 63 miles of CDT, 40 hour cutoff copperkings100.com #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #trailrunning

A lot of what I do in After Effects feels repetitive and tedious. I want AI to learn how I set up these comps and do the basic work for me. #postchat

I’m assuming by the MAGA reaction to the pardon of Hunter Biden that Trump pardoning himself is completely off the table.

I’m visiting the Bay Area and visiting running spots I used when I lived from 2017-2020. Today I ran at the water treatment ponds in Sunnyvale.

Went for a beautiful run this morning in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
