Random poem thing I wrote this morning. Enjoy:

cut the fruit
cut the grass
throw the ball
at the bat

little this
little that
that's the job
no cap

wipe the face
and the legs
sweep the pieces
of the eggs

"more noodles"
"no eggs"
"all done"
"go play"

what's that smell?
can it be pee
no it's not
daiper genie

Blow out big
its not teeny
Take a bath
wash the wenie

little splash
little tea tree
little ducky
little sewead
little laugh
little hehe
get the towel
enie meanie

time for bed 
no its not
yes it is
time to flop

in my lap
pick a book
that's the one
just look

there's a comb
and a brush
and a lady eating mush
and house and a mouse
no giggle just hush

rest your head
noise machine
sing a song
sing three

love you lots 
say it back
till the morning
tight sleep

here's you're crib
are you ready
here's your blanky
here's your teddy

you are dads
little man
little guy
little buddy

Blow em up

A natural law

This is one of those wants I'm tempted to not even publish, but here it is.

It's vast

It's just true

Hi Knox!

Emerson

I love them.

Random thought

yeah

I'm kinda like a Racoon

KEEP the train on the tracks

You just gotta...

lol

Big stuff

listen at your own risk of me being probably problematic or something

...

...

Yeah, let me tell you about it

I just released a thing and it reveals the bad and good in me. Let me tell you about it.

And should be treated similarly

It's true

Ah, how I love to write an email.

Let me tell you a thing or two about leadership

Money, freedom, yeah - booorringggg. It's all about fun.

Someone gave me an expensive gift yesterday, let's talk about it

I'm the weirdest combination of financially organized and disorganized

Matt Swanson (https://twitter.com/_swanson?lang=en) sent me a DM with a good thought and I just told him to record it so you can hear it to! So here you go, Matt Swanson's good perspective on the importance of "Relationships" in the Livewire story. Enjoy!

let me tell you about a narrative I've crafted for myself

Let me tell you a think or two about insecurity

It takes bravery to suck

This is actually a pretty fun one. I start out with a deep dive on a problem and wind up with my head in the clouds thinking about tv shows and how they relate to pull request writeups.

blown I tell you

listen, I gottta tell you about this system crap

99.9% of my consumption is passive. I'm trying to change that.

That thing you're nervous to post? Just post it and walk away.

I hit a bug and was surprised

I'm in a good place now (work competition wise) and it feels good

Let me try to thought spew everything I know about credit cards and staying in cool places for free.

just catching up

Yeah....

I need to convert the chaos of my life to systems

I need to be less on-top of things. jk. but really lol.

It's been a journey, but I'm back

Let me tell you a story about fire ants

you're my only hope

And it feels so good. Let me tell you about my new plans.

All you need, is a bucket of paint

Like for real

Lemme tell you about another way of being that is relevant to business and stuff yeah

I've been thinking hard about all things. Let me tell you about my new operating agreement with myself for 2024.

Lemme tell you about my car (app) and how I made it fast and how I'm dumb

Let's ring in the new year by celebrating our mediocrity and not cold plunging or quitting beer.

Lemme tell you about the wind and what makes it die

I recorded a video

Let me tell you

Christmas time is here. Let's talk about it.

I just wanna be done at this point

Sometimes software is hard. Then sometimes it's really hard.

A lesson on sponge candy, poopy diapers, and negotiation

A lesson my dad instilled in me

Kind of a fun little verbal dive on all the cool hacky javascript features alpine uses to achieve something like `@click="$el.textContent = 'foo'"`

A little mantra ringing in my head today

Lemme tell you about a small win today

I'm trapped in glass box of emotion

I regularly buy crap I don't need and never use. I should stop

I took the day to play around, lemme tell you about it

Check out some highlights from my spotify wrapped.

Sorry for some reason I can't share a link to the playlist. I'll try to figure that out and update this description

Let's talk about it

Dive deep with me

What a spectacle

“You never told me being rich was so lonely. Nobody know me, oh well. Hard to complain from this five star hotel”

"Nemo said to keep my foot on necks 'cause I can't let 'em just forget me. But the brags in my raps are getting less and less convincing"

Thoughts from a man celebrating a launch alone in his office

You heard it here

We have a great inspiration right in front of our faces

Welcome to my brain

A framework for socializing

the way i feel right now

Yea, title says it all

A programming thought

oh so much fun

Use Laravel

Teach what's exciting before it's not, and be ok when people tell you're a dumb noob

Mmmm it's a powerful thing

Safari, how you continue to elude me with your wonky-ass behavior

Thoughts about time in the studio

John's newest album: https://open.spotify.com/album/6lDcbZCh4yxAD0yVzLPAga?si=oOC5Eq1zRQmlHHUpoRUxhA

Work is so great right now, lemme tell ya bout it

We can learn a lot from a toilet

...and they're called villages

Feel again; smell of dusty road tires peeling in. Trashy radios. Hood ornaments.

Wanna brainstorm something with me?

I just had a programming thought about a competing value to colocation - enjoy

I threw up a song and I want to play it for you and talk about it with you. Enjoy!

My way is not the best way... but it's what works for me

Indeed it is

Skateboarding, babies, Philo, and software...

I just got back from a trip and want to tell you a bunch of little random things about it.

I just watched the video on Svelte 5 runes - random thought

Let's talk about how I feel when people ask me to fix things for them

yeah

frfr

As I pass do I give you the a** or the cro***

Just don't

Let me tell you about my life and how awesome and horrible it is

I know...

an update about a dear friend

totally important

...

Yeah...

I mean, I'm not saying I'm mj...

I dare you to listen to this

The title says it all

I don't like when people pick favorites. Maybe it's just me

You work really really hard... and dream of what it will be like when you're done... then you're done... and it doesn't feel that way

It's an inevitability 

I'm fighting the good fight over here

Hear me complain about people complaining

Solidness as a quality of code

I would have spit out my Ovaltine if you had told 15 year old Caleb he'd be doing what he's doing now.

What will I fill the next 10 years of my career with?

Just be around longer than everyone else

On paying for things...

Fresh starts are a magical thing...

Let's talk taxes and accountants and how much of a schlep I am

A thought on stand-up comedy and surfing

My parents always ask "how's work?" and I never have a satisfying answer. Until now... dun dun dun

Let me tell you about mistakes I've discovered I made while refactoring...

Let's explore a fun analogy

Take things as far as you can take them yourself.

All new things become not new and that is something I'm forever learning to deal with

You have to climb the hill to see what's on the other side...
