#reintroduction : I use this site wrong. I mostly use Twidere on Android, which hides CW pretty deep, so I sometimes forget. I generally read everything in my feed, in order, but am often up-to three days behind. I may inexplicably boost or reply to something you've forgotten about, and I'm sorry.

As an #introduction, I live in the Bronx, and I manage some programmers in the financial data space. I'm married to a YA librarian with NY Public Libraries. I read a lot of books, some of them are not out yet. I have wide interests and lots of hobbies. If I'm following you, I probably noticed you talk about something I thought was interesting.

What an intriguing headline that even billionaires are noticing something wrong...

Capitalism in crisis: U.S. billionaires worry about the survival of the system that made them rich

Currently feeling devastated. Just finished reading the Fred Rogers biography and if there was ever a man I consider a hero, he's it. (I put many women on that personal hero list.)

This cookie fortune belongs on a Laffy Taffy. ["Q. What do you call a sheep with no legs? A. A cloud."]

iTunes has one feature that nothing else has ever been able to replace. A Smart Playlist that is built up of one or more other Smart Playlists.

I keep hoping that someone else will make this happen because it's the only reason that I still use iTunes to manage my music.

I wrote a book review of Creativity, Inc., which is a management book wrapped in a narrative history of Pixar. I found the book fascinating for both aspects. https://blog.vollink.com/2019/04/creativity-inc-by-catmull-wallace.html

Subway announcer/conductor has a case of the giggles and I'm so here for it!

The "Now That's What I Call Music" series is in the triple digits. 102 is just about to launch. I don't even know what to feel about this, it seems like too many.

Ugh, Ubuntu updates are going PAINFULLY slow this-morning. us.archive.ubuntu.com seems to be having issues.

What book should I read/review next? Fic, non-fic... I'm looking for suggestions.

Now that Google+ is gone, I find it hilarious that I once lamented not being able to use it yet. https://blog.vollink.com/2011/07/google-or-not.html

Good morning, USers. Management related blog went up this weekend. https://blog.vollink.com/2019/03/fixing-broken.html

Windows 10 has an NFS client feature. Just have to enable it. My mind is blown!

Waiting room of a diagnostic center. Coming up on one hour past my appointment.

Unpopular take.

The making fun of John McCain is used as a BIG ISSUE because it avoids talking about white supremacy to a population that purports to support the troops but otherwise seems to have little issue with white supremacy.

Predictably, it is also ineffective.

A restaurant, nearly 10pm. Family nearby with very small child having a bit of a meltdown. Bedtime was two hours ago...at least.

Doc appointment today. Thought it was tomorrow. Hurried to get here 5 minutes late. Took them over 45 minutes to call me back. I could have eaten the lunch I was planning to eat. Instead, I'm sitting here, hungry, waiting for the doctor to show up.

Scheduling error... I put out two blog posts today. https://blog.vollink.com/

Movie review for Won't You Be My Neighbor

A business blog on Managing Complex Problems

This week, my review of Fear by Bob Woodward went live: https://blog.vollink.com/2019/03/fear-by-bob-woodward.html

To be honest, I might accidentally have #arch #linux as the base on one of my Docker nodes. But I don't "interact"with it.
