    March 17, 2025—Green?

    (Post image generated by Apple Intelligence.)

    I’m pretty sure there’s no green in my wardrobe. Except maybe a pair of boxer briefs.

    The “Right Now” block is up and running from my Overland data, and as a bonus so is a “Last Drive” block that should update from Bouncie whenever it sends a tripMetrics hook to the Google Apps Script I use to log trips.

    As the python scripts took too long to generate maps before some requests timed out (looking at you, Foursquare), I went back to Google Apps Script and the Google Maps API to process webhooks, do reverse geocoding, and generate maps, until I can figure out how to do it with Wolfram Language.

    Tuesday’s work office will be at NASA for an afternoon Starlink launch. Wednesday night I’ll get to cross off seeing Kraftwerk from my bucket list.

    March 16, 2025—Canceled due to weather

    Sunday afternoons I am normally at Universal Orlando from 4 PM (when the express line privilege kicks in) until the parks shut down.

    Today though, had to take a rain check due to the line of storms coming through. Simply napped until evening, ordered some pizza and Dr. Pepper, and did some more work on the web site.

    The “last seen at” block is live; Monday will figure out the “now” block.

    March 15, 2025—“Sabbath”

    Cover image AI-generated.

    I’m not Jewish by any means, but Saturdays have turned into somewhat of a sabbath for me, just chilling in the apartment, often just working on new scripts or enhancing existing ones to collect the data for my personal informatics or share it online. Some weeks I’ll spend the last few hours of the night with my MacBook Air and a venti coffee Frappuccino having some “personal office hours” at a table next to the Tomorrowland Speedway in Magic Kingdom Park.

    This weekend, though, was just resting in the apartment with some pizza after the spur-of the-moment drive out to Kennedy yesterday to watch the Crew-10 launch, after getting back home well after 10 PM last night.
