No, of course no one reads this. It’s for me. If you found this, I apologize. My old blog-for-visitor-consumption at Roosterteeth.com is alas gone with most of the community content from the first ten years as Roosterteeth has gotten so huge I can’t even. And Facebook is hopeless in terms of indexing. So here’s a new place for me to write non-work-related stuff I want to come back to or link to for reasons. (That’s why you’re doing this, Linnea, so you don’t have to tattoo clues on yourself like in that movie Memento...)

No Need For Driving

August 21, 2017

The eclipse happened today. I ordered some glasses recommended by the NASA website and I'd planned to drive south to get into the path of totality... but the forecast called for clouds all down route I-57 so... meh.

That being said, the sun did peek out in and out of the clouds and I had a lot of fun running around the block sharing my glasses with folks I caught outdoors. I had two pairs and gave one pair to a bunch of guys working on the sewer line on the street. Only one of them spoke English, but I saw them all taking turns looking through the lenses and they seemed really stoked about the eclipse so that was good.

I also filmed a meh video about drug naming. Not a super tough topic but it was the eclipse so why not?

Norwegian word of the day: Sun = Sol

Example: "The sun is hiding." "Solen gjemmer seg."
