PSA to the bicentennial babies: schedule your shingles shots for a time you’re not doing anything for 48 hours. (But do get it!) I doubled the first shot up with Covid and flu, and the second one with hep b, and both times I dealt like death warmed over the next day. Go go gadget cytokine storm!
Dog farts: motivating humans to get moving for 25,000 years

Are you yodeling? It’s not even 9am yet.
The snooze alarm is hungry.
Why is there a cloud on my floor? #ThingsISaidToTheDogsToday
Twent degrees F, snow drifts are taller than she is, and this one wants to play fetch. #ThingsISaidToTheDogsToday
I wouldn’t go up there. Yup. There you go. Into the snowbank. #ThingsISaidToTheDogsToday
We are back with more idiot dog shenanigans. #ThingsISaidToTheDogsToday
WHY DOES SALT HAVE A BEST-BY DATE?
Designers! Paul McAleer has written a great post about boring and you should read it. The Most Boring Product in the World. livefront.com/writing/t…
Update on The Interconnected: I’ve been writing about ridiculous things. This week’s edition tries to guess what breed of dog my jack russel terrier is. theinterconnected.net/kirabug/r…
Autoplay video is a weapon used to make you adjust to horrific violence so the state can do what they want without your protest.

Dear everyone who remembers celebrating the American Bicentennial: the bicentennial babies turn 50 this year.
Dear all the medical equipment folks: the patient lost 35lbs and is trying to do something with no muscle tone at what almost always turns out to be an uncomfortable angle. Stop screwing things together so tightly the patient can’t open them
Dear Doordash: I repeat, you are not Netflix. I do not want you to break everything into categories. (At least let me shut them off!) Please give me back the really good filter on the front page you used to have and give me all stores.
A note: If I ever hear someone “able bodied” say “they could almost be as smart as us” about someone disabled, I will not be nearly as polite as this person: youtube.com/shorts/hA…
Adventure of the day: trying to figure out how to say “I think the sofa in my room might be electrified” to the front desk without scaring the large number of people behind me who are checking in to rooms that probably aren’t electrified
Dear software makers: how did we not make a standardized “back this file up” to go with “save” and “save as” 30 years ago? I don’t want to create a new one in the foreground and then save it. Just save this one with the date attached and stick it on the desktop. Go back in time & do plz.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my jo, for auld lang syne? We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
If you’re one of those developers who tells me that people with slow internet connections don’t exist, I invite you to come join me at any hospital in Pennsylvania. We’ll jump on the patient wifi and try to work between appointments. “Try” is the optimal word here.
Dear Pennsylvania: it is illegal to drive around with snow on the top of your vehicle. That includes your pick up truck. That includes the cover on the back of your pick up truck. If the snow falls off your vehicle and causes me to have an accident you’re the one who is liable for the accident.
If you’re a side sleeper don’t make the mistake of having vaccines put in both shoulders. You’ll run out of shoulders to sleep on. #askMeHowIKnow
No, Chewy, I am not going to provide a rating for my dog’s kidney medications. I don’t even know what value that would add.
Poor tigers. Every time we talk about stress and anxiety we say “they’re definitely things we want to have happen when we’re running from tigers”. It’s never lions or bears or moose. Always tigers. My work stress definitely feels like a herd of angry bison heading toward me.
Attempts to find which channel at the hospital is showing Monday night football have failed due to a lack of Monday 🤦🏻♀️
You are out here trying to dodge Last Christmas in Whamageddon… I just lost the contest to avoid the Pennsylvania Lottery Christmas ad. Must really be the season.
