As i prepare to enjoy an early Christmas celebration with my wife’s family, feeling unusually blessed. Thinking about the people I met this week that were in tough spots, were in need of encouragement, and gave me perspective on the unusually blessed state of my life. thinking about the Samurai developer going to prison rather than being with family on Christmas because he tried to protect our privacy. Feeling humbled, thankful, and grateful, and fully ready to see the corrupt empires of man fall face down before the Prince of Peace.

i am currently concocting christmas gift hotsauce near an open fire, without safety equipment.

ive played around with emacs before over the years, but for whatever reason, this time it actually clicked. Emacs isn’t actually a text editor. Emacs is a lisp virtual machine with the training wheels removed, masquerading as a text editor. you can do the craziest stuff with it. which is why people do the craziest stuff with it.

im glad i never got a job in tech. i still love programming and tinkering. i love weird, fun tinkering hacker culture. “Developer” culture makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little.
