    Well, that was utterly completely unexpected…

      They’ve been together for four years and five months, living together for over three years, and same sex marriage is finally legal in their state.

      A little out of left field in the narrative? A little – but that was on purpose, and only just.

      But everyone should have been expecting this pretty soon. 😛

          Well, that was the “little” bit.

          And yeah, everyone should have been expecting this since Megan’s Dad’s funeral. I was kind of telegraphing. 😛

    The whole “thinking about the future, gah!” immediately made me think it was going to lead to a marriage conversation. Not having seen these two discuss that at all made me not expect a proposal, because it’s becoming more and more common to cohabitate indefinitely without marriage, and I didn’t know their feelings on this. When thinking about any of my friends that have been together that long, I always think something like “It’s about time!” which is just ironic considering that Brian and I have been together longer than most of them have even known each other and feel no particular call to get married.

      Eh, I don’t think its ironic — you just happen to be wired differently than a lot of other people. Nothing wrong with it.

    Not sure if that’s a horrible proposal, or a great one. Asuming of course it is a proposal… might be a vintage pokemon card in there, or something.

    They don’t seem like the type to have a huge grand proposal. This actually fits them. No we wait for the reaction…

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )


    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
