I’m having a normal week, worrying about bills, thinking of taking the kids to the beach, hanging with my wife, working, and going through the grind of the week.

Suddenly, a song came on, and I learned the lyrics were about the singer’s deceased parent. Not sure what happened in my mind, but I immediately went to a photo of my step-dad and me when I was a kid. I began bawling at my desk and had to go find a quiet place to cry.

He died of covid in 2021.

I haven’t cried for him in several years.

What a random thing to happen this morning.

Looking for shoe recs for supination. I do long runs, tempo, and races.

Brooks Ghost was awesome until they raised the heel stack almost 10mm (and that’s not even max!). Superblast 2’s absolutely destroyed my achilles after only two weeks.

It’s actually getting more difficult these days for me. Glycerin 22?

Accidentally ran marathon in Nova Pegasus FF Blast EO3 daily tempo super-trainer instead of Tokyo Paris Alphafly Vaporfly Endorphin Speed Adios Pro Evo hyperstack max-cushion carbon-plated super shoe.

Barefoot guy got better time than me and he didn’t even have PEBA foam with ZoomX energy return and carbon plate

Running Youtubers do not cover this scenario. My identity as a runner is compromised. My VO2max is cooked.

Send help.

I read Snow Crash this year, and it was entirely underwhelming. The writing style being so “cool” took me out of the story. It just felt silly to keep going with the overly stylistic/expressive language tone when a perfectly fine story was unraveling with decent characters and world building. I could not get locked in.

I have Cryptonomicon on my TBR shelf, and I’m considering removing it.

The hype around AI companies that are literally just wrappers on a chatbot is insane. It’s like investors saw ChatGPT and collectively lost their minds. I’ve never thought VCs were geniuses, but the FOMO right now is next level. They’re acting like panicked squirrels who see “AI” in a deck and throw money. It’s wild. You can just slap a prompt or semantic layer on an LLM and call it innovation. At some point, these companies have to return actual value with products with real revenue, right? Something’s gotta give.

The horse may have been replaced by the car, but the airplane did not replace the car. Is ChatGPT an airplane? Where the current best use is a search query?
