Freezer Meals, Fourth Place, Crossposting, and Frozen Boys

VBS for the kids and freezer meals on the counter, a trail run that landed me in 4th (faster than all the girls, at least), the tool I am building to crosspost the blog, and the winter camping trip that taught my boys what cold really means.

My Brothers and Sisters in Christ: You Are Men and Women

My 8yo sailed through his membership vows with a clear yes to each, until the fifth one stopped him: "What does that mean?" Why I was glad he asked before agreeing, with detours into the Feynman technique, leftovers, and love languages.

Twenty-Two Cartoons to Twenty-One

Rain scrapped my trail plans, so I hiked the route I have named the calf burner. Then I gathered the kids to vote cartoons off their custom channel and we went from twenty-two down to twenty-one. Plus S out with friends, and a grill I luckily never had to uncover.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: The Lord's Most Powerful Evangelist

Meme of the day, courtesy of atheism: Neil deGrasse Tyson is secretly the Lord's most powerful evangelist, bringing people to Christ by making atheism so unbearably cringe you start begging for literally anything else. Also inside: week four of the diet and a Weird Al dance party.

The True Test of Artificial Intelligence

Forget AGI; I want something better. When AI can correctly implement an Apple TV interface, with every gesture working in the focus engine, humanity will be ready for the stars. Claude and Codex flounder; Grok eventually got there. SwiftUI plus tvOS remains a shockingly awful combo in 2026.

Shilling Product Reviews and Baking Brownies

Glancing at Google Search Console, I finally understand why anyone with a shred of online influence ends up shilling product reviews. My reviews and tutorials draw nearly all the traffic. So now I'm eyeing my office: has anyone reviewed these drink coasters yet? USB cables?

Setting Up Tinybird Analytics on a Self-Hosted Ghost Blog (Ghost-CLI, No Docker)

A hard-won guide to wiring Tinybird web analytics into a self-hosted Ghost blog installed via Ghost-CLI and served through a Cloudflare Tunnel, no nginx in front. The one-click setup that wasn't: SSH-tunneling the OAuth login and why the analytics toggle stays greyed out.

How to Run Ads on Reddit

It's really quite simple to run ads on Reddit. Just do the backend pixel work, build your campaign, launch it, watch every ad get flagged illegal with no explanation, find no way to contact support, and book a 30-minute sales call to get a human to fix it. See? Very easy.

Bathrobe Lady at the Post Office

On the way into church we stopped at the post office, where a prim, upper-class woman in her seventies strolled in wearing a thick white bathrobe. Strong Big Lebowski energy. Maybe she lost a bet with her book club, or maybe it is a hazing ritual to join. Old people can be weird.

Inside the Clouds on Mt. Sanderlin

After skipping a workout to feast on anniversary steak, I made up for it with a 7-mile run up Mt. Sanderlin, steep enough in spots that running would be comical. New phobia unlocked: sprinting down wet mountain roads I'm not sure I could stop on. Capped with a haircut and a rainy, empty winery.
