My Chemical Romance at Target Field last night was a lot of fun. It was great running through The Black Parade and then the stripped down encore of all their hits at the end. Beautiful night.

Just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out my WSL sudo password. It was the first one I tried but mistyped at least once per minute. Does that count as coding for billing purposes?

The 11 a.m. Tuesday time slot is at the Great American State Fair is apparently not the most fruitful, as there are more musicians in the band than spectators.
(The band, consisting of young musicians, including a heluva brass section, was quite good.)

Okay, you can use Claude to export your Claude cowork schedules to a different Claude cowork environment. It would be nice for that to persist for cowork, but then maybe I should use Claude to Claude to Claude.

Twins got lucky to get out from under the Carlos Correa contract (though this freak injury may not have happened if things had gone differently). Really too bad that injuries have derailed Correa's career.

That was a good season of Daredevil Born Again. Better than the first season by a mile. Can't wait to see what happens in season 3.
