I rode 63 miles with a group, then 8.5 with Milo today. I knew it might wipe me out for the rest of the day. It did. I swam with the kids for a bit (by swam I mean stood in the pool), napped for a while, and ever since the nap have been pretty useless. I drank four bottles and I think I'm still dehydrated.

I've switched from YouTube Music (formerly had bundled with Premium, which I've cancelled) to Spotify, which is better, but fully focused on playlists, and I'm an album kind of guy. The only way I've been able to find and access albums is search and "related artists" and adding them to my library. Is there a way to make Spotify surface albums instead of just playlists? Am I just old?

I had to commute home at 4pm today and it was total insanity on the highways of DFW. Like every single citizen of the city was (like me) in a vehicle on the highway at that moment, which I rationally know couldn't be true, but how could there possibly be that many people out at 4 on a Thursday afternoon? We've hit some population inflection point here and it's making me question my life choices.

"...the Venture Predator constructs a pile of shit so large and impressive that investors are convinced that there must be a pony under there somewhere.

"There's another name for this kind of arrangement: a bezzle, which Galbraith described as 'the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it.'"

Do you put things on your todo list just so you can cross them off?

Don't be silly, I use markdown so I can do both at the same time:
