If you know, you know.
In memory of the great George Wendt, I went looking for great Norm moments from Cheers.
He’s hardly in this one, but he makes it work.

Unfit for purpose.
I did an advanced class at Jujitsu last night, only because it was one of those weird nights when mostly senior belts were in attendance. I think we had one yellow belt on the mat, so we were able to break out the secret techniques. We just put the yellow belt in a corner to do some grading work.
Beat me kangaroo down, sport.
Got this story from Jason, who got it from Vice. I think this is what happens when you watch too many boxing roo videos on YouTube:
52-year-old Eric Slate died after he fought a kangaroo at a children’s petting zoo in Horry County, South Carolina.
First the robots came for your motivation, but I had no motivation so...
I found this bit on ZDNet about a Harvard study on genAI use kind of interesting. Boiled down, it says generative AI in the workplace improves people’s work but erodes their motivation and engagement. There are numbers! Apparently.

The algorithm knows me, which is why it served up this piece of sports writing about caffeine.
It was just past 11:20 a.m. on a Monday in New York City when the caffeine began to take hold. My head buzzed. My stomach sloshed. I had felt so confident just a couple of hours earlier. Now I felt defeated.
I was no Dan Campbell.
New oven!
Those of you paying attention might recall I set my kitchen on fire about a year ago, or at least I set the roast pork loin in the oven on fire… somehow. We finally had the oven replaced last week, and having a baker in the house meant that the first thing out of it were these amazing cinnamon scrolls.
Emerald city
I spent most of the election weekend down in Sydney, finishing a book in my hotel room and giving a talk at that architecture conference.
It went very well, thank you.
Both the talk—and, of course, the election.
I may have fallen into an alternate universe.
I’m in Sydney today and over the weekend. I’m supposed to be staying at the Novotel, but there are about 87 Novotels in Sydney, including a City Centre Novotel and a Central Sydney Novotel (which is actually in Haymarket).
Currently sliding between alternate Novotel’s, and feeling as though I am in danger of losing contact with my alpha site universe.
