February in Spokane has been physically brutal compared to the first half of winter thanks to all the snow and sub freezing temperatures. It’s made running more challenging and the cold dry air has been hard on my skin as well.

The Pinebook is an affordable ($99!) 64-bit ARM based open source 14″ laptop. Comes with Ubuntu MATE by default, but it can run other distros, and the $89 11″ inch model also strikes me as a nice retro gaming option.

Looks like a really nice (while still frigid) sunny day out my office window. Hoping it will still be the case this afternoon when I’m getting in a run.

I’m only like 17 years late for the party, but finally reading BraveHearts by Bud Withers. It’s pretty good and I definitely don’t anticipate waiting another 15 to get through Glory Hounds!

Nothing like accidentally banging into the kneecap that was still sore from an unexpected impact earlier in the week. At least it doesn’t really hurt unless I make direct contact.

Discovered an awesome chiptune adjacent podcast this morning called Retro Game Audio. Hosts Patrick Todd and Steve Lakawicz do a monthly deep dive into classic game soundtracks and the game systems they were written for.

A well earned skate break!

Prep completely handling Richland so far. 39-24 a couple minutes into the third quarter. At this rate they’ll be lucky to achieve half of yesterday’s output vs. Ferris.

Super stacker!

And we’re off again. Looks like the Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco school districts decided to cancel school again because of slick residential and side road conditions (fresh snow on top of ice) and activities automatically get cancelled as well.
