## 2025-03-10 Currently in the middle of reading Benvenuto Cellini's autobiography. This was probably one of the more interesting characters of the 1500s. This person flat out murdered some people and fled each time. Perseus with the head of Medusa is an extremely intricate sculpture. ## 2025-05-09 Planted both heirloom tomatoes and jalapeños. ## 2025-05-20 Planted thyme, dill, thai basil and mint today in my Aerogarden. I have another with jalapeños (which sprouted today after 12 days) and some cherry tomatoes (which sprouted in half the time as the jalapeños). We had a tornado touch down ~1 or 2 miles from our apartment today along with around 8 across the area. One in Sango. It reminded me of the one from December of 2023, which took out our power for almost 4 days and destroyed several houses and a church about half a mile away. ## 2025-05-21 I saw someone write this in response to something else and it stuck with me: ``` While I might question their sanity and/or ethics, it's generally not a good idea to underestimate a fool. ``` But anyway... Interviewed a couple of people for a platform engineer position we have open at work. So far both candidates have been "ok" but not stellar or anyone I was like, "yes, that person must work here". The market is fairly heavily saturated due to a few different things - some of it the AI boom, some of it market conditions, some of it leftovers from the after-pandemic hiring.
