My bathroom door squeaks slightly. When it opens, it sounds like a particular trilling riff from Herbie Hancock’s Watermelon Man. When it closes, it sounds like a cat I once had when she would say “Mr-r-r-ow?”

As a result, whenever I go to the bathroom, in my head an imaginary radio announcer promotes an imaginary concert like, “Herbie Hancock and the Ghost Cats, one night only, in your toilet!”

So that’s a little bit about me. As for what I hope to get out of this seminar, mainly I’m just here to learn and be challenged

Remember, when something seems like such a big task it's impossible, it can be helpful to break it down into smaller pieces, such as "what is the next thing I have to click on." Once you've done that, give yourself a nice 30-minute break before moving on to the next thing to click

Apple has TOTP support built in now. These instructions are kinda terrible, but it boils down to this: when you get a QR code to scan to enroll for MFA, control-click or long-press on it, and add it to keychain.

Once that’s done, keychain can auto-fill TOTP codes along with passwords.

So long, Google Authenticator

Remember to laugh through the pain. I mean, you can also cry through the pain.

Are we committed to “2024?” Is it too late to consider other options

Well, it's a ball. It's in a ball shape

But… it's just cheese

Whipped cheese. Softer than normal cheese.

Ok whipped cheese. Why would anyone shove a cracker into this?

Well, it's shaped like a ball, and it's also covered in nuts

Nuts. Nuts. It's covered in nuts so people will want to stick a cracker into it.

Or a knife.

A cracker or a knife. Whipped cheese in the shape of a ball, covered in nuts, and people will pay money to stick crackers into this? Or a knife?

Or a knife, yes.

And what will it cost?

OMG it's the last day of the year already??? So grateful for all these glowing texts, I can't believe I almost forgot it's my last chance to donate to politicians in 2023
