Type-O
- New joke who dis? Ready?
A minister, a priest, and a rabbit walk into a
hospital. A doctor asks the rabbit: “do you know your blood type?” The rabbit
replies: “I don’t. But I think I’m a type-o”
- Lots of people around me are getting vaccinated—including my parents. It finally feels like the
end of this pandemic is in sight. With summer approaching, I’m really looking
forward to the possibility of some semblance of non-pandemic normalcy.
- Spring is upon us, and it feels so good. Last year, we heard nonstop how NY
was dead. This weekend proved otherwise.
- The first race of the MotoGP season is next week. It’s a little sad to see
Valentino Rossi move down to the satellite team. But good grief does his
setup look excellent.

Let’s Begin
- I recently stumbled upon Tom Stuart’s Weekly Notes, and
was inspired by the simplicity of keeping a
weekly occasional set of notes. So, let’s
embrace the opportunity to start anew.
- I wrapped up Jason Hickel’s Less is
More. It’s is an excellent read
about the incompatibility of growth-based capitalism with environmental
sustainability. I used to have the naive idea that GDP could continue to grow
while we transitioned to sustainable energy production. Hickel pretty
thouroughly debunks that idea. Eye opening and mostly hopeful book.
Definitely recommend it.
- Gall’s
Law came up at work this week. It states:
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a
simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never
works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with
a working simple system.
- I’ve been playing Dead by
Daylight with some buds for
a few weeks now. It’s grown on me. It’s a hilarious-to-play asymmetrical
survival game where four survivors try to escape from a killer. Best played
with friends on voice chat so you can hear teammates scream bloody murder as
they’re found by the killer.
