FORTUNE FAVORS THOSE NOT CAUGHT WITH THEIR FREAKIN HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR
Quote: “This case is yet another reminder to celebrities.”
It’s safe to say SEC Chair Gary Gensler is not a big fan of celebs touting crypto. In his agency’s latest case against a high-profile promoter, former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce agreed to pay $1.4 million (without admitting any wrongdoing) over his actions in pushing EthereumMax—

Obligatory Valentine's Day post.
Having one of those mornings (at 13:30 local time).
Took the day off cause I wanted to, wanted to get some ME things done (mostly a haircut) before next Monday's shared time day with my wife.
Instead, I just got out of a 3 hour call cause someone in my support group got caught with a problem and didn't understand my concern around the risks their solution could have caused.
I'm a little sad and disappointed that the Eagles lost.

At least I took tomorrow off, so I can pout in peace.
The following is not something I expected to say today, but . . .
Me: Turn the laser on, it helps.
Her: it's not working.
Me: oh, I forgot the laser is dead, I think it needs batteries.
Well, at least this sounds like a 21st century conversation was supposed to sound like to my raised in the 70s and 80s brain.
Just because it is 70F right now, I don't think I should be hearing MULTIPLE lawn mowers running.
I mean, it's still February!
Tonight's insomnia is brought to me by trying to define nostalgia for something that never existed.
Another benefit of WFH. No one sees me put on the wizard's robe to run the "ritual" of exorcising this client's system of its accumulated sins and demons.
Ok, it's a costume Jedi robe that someone saw in the bathrobe section of a thrift store and thought it was just the perfect gift for me. But I'm wearing it now and I'm working on a problem.
Take that, gremlins!
Trying to explain what I wanted confused him. No way he's going to follow how I cleaned up and reformatted the data.
Was told to let a coworker handle an analysis for a piece of work. Explained what I used before for a similar job in the past. Just spent 8 hours working through and cleaning up the horrible mess he made because he thought I needed XLS when I asked for CSV, cause it opened in excel. Let's split the millions of rows across 6 columns in 8 worksheets . . .
Why? I could have just loaded the CSV into the script that builds the visualization.
I have a smartwatch that tracks steps. I agreed to set a goal of 10,000 steps.
I work from home. I also have a standing desk and I pace when I think.
There is something a bit concerning when I hit 10,000 steps before I reach the end of a work day.
Go Eagles
I did not expect the switch to go bad on my grinder when I was replacing the burrs just now. At least it's not the mains. I've bypassed it till the new switch gets her.
Don't tell my wife, but I did next day delivery, OR to VB VA.
Actually, I have Eggos also every work morning so, #Waffles, but only I don't have time for omelets.
The rain is somewhat intense tonight in Virginia Beach.
I missed the rocket launch, but now I'm listen the the radio call of the apartment complex down the street being on fire.
Banging on CTRL-C trying to kill something on a work machine when the home automation hits the trigger at sunset and a bunch of lights click on.
Took a whole second for me to realize the two events were in no way related.
