I Need Headphones

I think I have found an unanswered electronics market: Developer headset.

I have been hearing headphones with a microphone every work day for at least six hours for almost four months.  My headphones are an essential part of work, because they connect me clearly to my remote co-workers, and to my programming pair (someone I cooperatively code with all day).

Idling Speculation

A random thought I had this morning:  There are a lot of trucks that idle in our development.

I woke up this morning to the sound of, well, I don't know what kind of truck.  Whatever it was, it was making some grinding motory racket outside at 6am.

Server Migration

I'm down this rabbit hole.

My business debit card has expired.  I have purposefully allowed this to happen so that I can close the account.  The services that are still attached to it and that I want to keep alive need to be moved to a new account.  One of those services is web hosting.

Fall Soccer - Pre-season Week

Soccer is upon us again, and I'm coaching Abby's team.  This year, I've decided to sign up as head coach, which is a big step in my head, but probably not much more than I've done in previous seasons.  Conceptually, I wanted to be able to run practices and games in a way I see fit.  It's not that prior coaches didn't do a good job - we took the field - just that I have some changes in mind for how to run things.

This season we'll be using incentives for the players on the field.  I've acquired a bunch of little soccer ball patches to give out to the kids that perform well at practice and games.  I hope this will give them some incentive to do their best, whereas in seasons past, I feel like they haven't all given their best effort for lack of it feeling like it meant much to participate.
