Sweating Nerd Blog – Thoughts from August 14 and 16, 2023

August 14, 2023 Sometimes I start my Thoughts paper with nothing to say. I put in the date and save it as a document, but I have no idea what I’m going to talk about. There are some things I could talk about, but I don’t want to talk about them. I had an idea…

New People, Laundry, and Insecurities – Thoughts from August 5 and 6, 2023

August 5, 2023 When I meet someone new at work, I try to find out work related things first and then move on to their interests. No one completely loses me with their interests, but I find myself less enthused about what some people find interesting. Sports is one of those things. Many people assume…

Ubernerds and Time Math – Thoughts from July 26 and 30, 2023

July 26, 2023 I tried to type QWERTY on my swipe keyboard and it typed “Way”. I guess people don’t type QWERTY much. This Thoughts paper is being interrupted to bring you a special news bulletin. Patti just told me Sinead O’Connor just died. She was only 56. 53-year-old me thinks that’s way too young…
