Wednesday: The code is ugly, but the stupid thing works.

Spooky.

Six years ago, we got kolaches.  And now I'm hungry.

• This was today's J-drama murder show.  When I looked it up, I was a bit surprised that they have seven episodes.  I would think having three murders on one bus tour would be bad for business.  Having this happen seven times would be super suspicious.  It was a good show though, and Sayaka totally solves the murder mystery without the cops.
• So that's fun.
• "What happens when you leave your precocious 16 year old home alone with the fully-gassed army, his boyfriend, and an overly permissive babysitter named Aristotle."

Wednesday: Checked in and packed.

Except for things like "this laptop" and "the other electronics that need to charge" and "that medicine I left in my work fridge, which needs to stay cold all the time."

This is the Titanic Memorial in Belfast, from when I was there six years ago.

I also discovered a massive security problem at work today.  It turns out that my assessment of a previous programmer as "disturbingly obsessed with putting 'extended attributes' on everything" missed some details.

• Pokemon please don't go!
• Eyes closed challenge.
• Not Pokemon.
• Spoopy and creppy.
• I would enjoy a more realistic Star Wars like this.
• The Vision.
• Patsy Walker, Hellcat.

Thursday: Dargle.

I remembered today that I wrote that thing to pull up old photos if I didn't have one I took today.

I'm reasonably sure this is the sunrise from Haleakala, taken in 2010.

And, looking at the exif data and remembering today's date, it was actually taken tomorrow.  No idea how that got mixed up when I was creating the archive.

• Pokemon
• Quick attack.
• That's cool.
• Stupid Weedles.
• Not Pokemon.
• I saw this, and since I remember posting about this story before, assumed it was old.  No, it's recent, and Norway really is considering giving Finland that mountain peak.
• I would love there to be a Peggy Carter series that just made like one long episode a year, and tracked Peggy as she builds SHIELD.  It could run basically forever.
• Baby animals.
• Cats are jerks.
• Totoro.
• I really need to catch up on Steven Universe.
• This is fine.

Monday: I should really write a program to do that.

Specifically, troll through years of images to find one that matches the that day's date.  That way, I can look at images from the past.  I have something halfway written, but it doesn't handle images that don't store the date taken in the filename.  The real solution is I should pull exif data, and cram it into a database.

Anyway, here's a tiny Kimchi.

It's blurry and out of focus and washed out, because phone cameras sucked long ago.

• Serious links.
• Not super bad, but it is awful people being awful, despite how much that's going to break up the Republican party.  Which is also a good thing.
• This is a good start.
• Palmyra.
• Mostly animals.
• Not this one.  This one is Star Wars.
• Cat drinking.
• Bunny hopping.
• Cat wants a fish.
• Really wants a fish.

Wednesday: Fourth of July!

Which means the day off!

Good news, Bubbles! You don't have to!

It also means fireworks!

This one is from 2006.  It's still crazy sunny here, so this year's fireworks aren't happening for another two hours.

Also tasty food that's bad for you! I didn't take a picture of this.  Chili dogs are delicious, though.  What better way to celebrate America?

First thing I noticed: cheap burgers. Second thing: institutional racism.

So it's good we're getting better at things like that.

 Random animals!

This is the cutest panda picture in the history of cute panda pictures.

I believe this has been pointed out before.

• RobB is an idiot.  Do you know why lights have switches? Because that's the easiest way to do it, jackass.
• I think this might be the most pessimistic 80s picture yet.
• Patriot animals!
• Pretty much self explanatory.
• Fucking communists.
• Nurse Joy. S. And a guy who dyed his mustache and beard pink.
• Baby-monitor-tech.  This one is kind of cool.
