Watched Arthur Christmas again last night with the kids. 🎬 That movie might get a spot on the annual Christmas movie list next to (but lower than) Elf.
Been getting errors on disk 3 in one of my Synology DS416 units. Swapped out the bad disk and started volume repair. Now seeing errors on disk 2 and failing volume repair. Uh oh. 😳 Luckily this data is all mirrored.
You remove all the social apps from your iPhone and you realize it wont fill all your idle moments. At first this makes you angry — entertain me! Then you realize idle moments are good. Life happens in those idle moments too.
Looking up recipes for Christmas, proud Minnesotan moment with this intro on Wikipedia: “Glorified rice is a dessert salad served in Minnesota and other states in the Upper Midwest.” You betcha…
Really happy to see micro.blog public release today! I’ve been enjoying micro.blog since the first day of the Kickstarter launch (this is my 574th post!). Amazing work by Manton Reece! 👏
Saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi and thought it was great! 👍

Trying to figure out what size rubber grommet I need for my espresso knock box bar. A bit bewildering. 🧐
Think I might have finally fixed a really annoying Time Machine v. Synology NAS behavior. 🤞
I 💙 this! #TeamSPS slide to highlight my disdain for pie charts. 😁 The exploded slices are a great touch! I’ll stick to pie you eat, thanks. 🥧
Martina Restaurant
We went to Martina for the first time last night and I was very impressed! The space is great and we got to sit right by the kitchen and watch the woodfire grill being stoked. We started with the Crab Cakes which were amazing. Then we had the Pork Chop Pizzaiola and Fusilli with Lamb Shoulder for the main and both were fabulous. The Panqueque dessert was delicious. The meal didn’t cost an arm and a leg and they even have a kids menu and mocktails, which we will likely try out next time when we bring the whole family.
Tammy and I went to see Lady Bird last night. It was really good and I liked it a lot, despite my bias against coming of age stories.
Excited for tonight’s Semisonic show!
Semisonic at First Ave! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
