It’s been a couple months since the last update, so let me catch you up on how we’re doing so far this season.

If you landed on this page after seaching for “gardening technique” I offer my most humble apology.

Two months into paternity leave I got a cryptic email from my manager saying we had to have a phone call the following Friday morning. Because several people I know had been layed off that very same week I was sure I was about to receive similar news. But I was only half correct; everyone but me on my team was being laid off effective immediately. I’ve just finished my first full week back at work and would like to announce that I am aggressively seeking new opportunities 😬

These posts are going to be equal parts transparency and convenience for me. Transparency because I give an air of gardening skill and knowledge without providing any evidence that anything I do works, convenience because plaintext is just the fastest way for me to document things. Last year we did okay on our communtiy garden parcel. If I recall correctly we took in one harvest of radishes and carrots. Our co-planting of corn, beans, and squash didn’t work out except that our squash did beautifully.

Massive new feature in the family along with several quality of life updates.

Watch me warp my cursory understanding of Mulla Sadra into a justification for ecological thinking.

“Set in stone” is a weak way to communicate permanence if you really think about it.

My grandfather liked Louis L’Amour novels and John Wayne movies. He had a romantic image of the American frontier, and I remember him having a specific fixation on strong cowboy camp coffee. He was certain that these men boiled their coffee into a black tar that they then drank, and would conjure this image almost every time he was served a cup of coffee he deemed too weak. I thought about this, stood over my French press, of a mind that this might be as close to that cowboy coffee as I’d be willing to get.

Reflecting on what I’ve learned after two+ years of apartment container gardening.

My relationship with computers and music is complicated.

Sports have always provided a window into society at-large. What does the reaction to athletes with bionic or biochemical differences tell us about existing privilege and power? What should we expect for the future?

I’m here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

I got angry after reading a Game FAQs post.

Previously on snowcrash dot fun, I outlined something obvious: a good cyberpunk video game is one that is an example of both a good video game and a good work of cyberpunk fiction. Time to follow up.

I try to explain the framework my goopy gamer brain uses to assess content. A necessary expansion to one of the few spicy takes I’ve ever posted on Twitter.
