My cat thinks I'm cool.

I put the controller down to check my fedi notes and this happened.

Idea for a TV show: Quantum Leap except it's Ben Sisko having adventures through time and space in this sequel to DS9.

Tonight's backyard friend is an awesome opossum.

Coffee that I had a DO on last week from a company I haven't worked with before? It seems nobody thought it was important to actually PUT THE COFFEE ON A TRUCK so it might get delivered some day. In a week, nobody at the warehouse thought, "hmm... this coffee's been staged for pick up for a while, maybe someone should look into that." Not the best first impression for a company.

Did some more test batches on the IKAWA, this time attempting to do a profile match against my standard sample roast on the IR-1.

gift tea smells good

This caused a bit of confusion when I got the delivery notification and saw that a 1 pound box I wasn't expecting had been delivered since I never buy that little of anything from them.

One of my tea suppliers sent a thank you for your business gift. It's a 100g custom pressed puer cake from 2016.

All Clear mode in Tetris Effect has a puzzle where the solution is to take the first line block, drop it in a 5 high gap, rotate it into a 5 wide horizontal gap, then spin it the other way to get it into the four high gap in the bottom, then spin the next block into the horizontal gap, which then leaves a four high for the last piece and yeah, I can do it but those should NOT be valid moves.

I still think T-Spin should be removed from the Tetris rule set. Clearly a bug, not a feature.

The cat did not greet me at the door today. Found her hiding behind a chair instead.

Was able to get a few more pages written. I need to go back to that and add in more math later.

Today's scam email tried to convince me that my mail client settings are wrong and that I needed to take action based on their phishing scam *delivered by email* to restore my ability to receive email. Scammers didn't really think that one through, did they?

There was a bat flying around my house last night. It was safely caught and released outside.
