Every week on Impeachment Explained, Ezra Klein delves into the nuts, bolts, and intricacies of the Impeachment news. His insights are always interesting and thoughtful. Well worth your time if you have space for another podcast.
Pine.blog had a rough day today. I think everything is settled now. Sorry for any delays or downtime.
This will not end well. We need real federal privacy protections by the end of 2005. 2006 at the latest.
What’s that? It’s 2020? Shit.

Apparently, Amazon is selling their Ring Surveillance Cameras as a device that brings you and your neighbors together. Just wow.
The Joe Biden Strategy:
Exhibit #456,765,088 on why California is pretty great. Our budget includes mitigating Climate Change, Drug Dricing, Homelessness, and Criminal Justice Reform. All things that barely get a mention in the Senate.
Aside from the fires, which continue to increase in intensity and number as the climate crisis worsens and that arguably we can only mitigate anyway. But now I'm off topic.

Doing some reading at the park today. Winter in San Diego can be pretty great.
The iPad Air, when it launched, was pretty great. It’s biggest flaw was and still is it’s paltry 1GB of RAM.
I bumped Pine.blog to require iOS 13 a while back and because of that it doesn’t run on my iPad Air anymore.
Guess I need to get another iPad. That or go back to supporting iOS 12. 🙅♀️
Thankfully Celery, Django, and DRF have stable and dependable releases. Mature software is pretty great.
Upgrading is never an easy task. Most of the packages I’m using are pretty dependable and stable but you never know what’s going to just break silently.
Rolled out some Pine.blog updates last night. Major upgrades on the backend and a significant feed directory redesign.
Let me know if you have any issues. I think I got everything sorted.

Done and done.

Representative Duncan Hunter is resigning effective Jan. 13. I grew up in his district and the community deserves much more than what he’s given them.
