  • My dog stands next to a chair or the couch and rests her head on it while looking up at me with puppy dog eyes until I come pet her. She loves it when I scratch her throat and will lean onto it super hard to the point where she gags. If there’s anything at all laying on the floor - a blanket, a sock, kid’s toy, paper bag, whatever - she will lay directly on it. If she’s to big she’ll at least put her head on it. If I’m not paying attention to her she’ll sit right next to me and paw at my leg until I pet her. She follows me around the house like a shadow, especially if anybody is over or if she can tell I’m getting ready to go somewhere. I can’t play hide and seek with my kids because she always gives away my hiding spot.



  • A bunch of software development blogs that I’ve collected (~40). I’d love to share a list but I can’t find an easy way to export them from Feedly :(

    Related: what are the best rss readers out there? I’ve been mostly happy with Feedly but I’d really like something that is:

    • FOSS
    • No login/account, all data local
    • Android app
    • Follow RSS feeds, sort into categories
    • Save for later
    • Save favourites
    • Tag categories
    • Import/export subscriptions
    • Read full text locally in the app (don’t need to open the website)
    • Supports text to speech



  • Wtf is dark matter. There’s something out there that makes gravity not work the way we expect on a very large scale, and “dark matter” is a theoretical substance that makes the math work out properly. But the fact that such a huge portion of the galaxy’s mass is this hypothetical, undetectable thing makes it seem very hand wavy. The last experiment to try to detect dark matter that I’m aware of concluded with “we successfully didn’t detect anything” 😞 having to deal with dark matter feels like trying to study atoms before the discovery of the neutron. I hope we figure this out in my lifetime.
