a snippet of a lame assed resume, reading "Nicholas Garcia" in white and "Researcher & Content Curator" in orange
i finally saw a job listing a couple of days ago that made me go “wow, i might have a chance at that” and set out to finally update my resume.
glad that i was able to collect a handful of coworkers/bosses willing to be references, and happy that i actually spent time tonight jazzing up my entirely-too-long resume, even though the latest covid booster is trying to kill me.
i don’t think i’ll get the job, but my goal is to stop futzing with the text and finish the application before the end of the weekend.
vibe for me, pls. or gimme yr best pep talk. or something. yeah.
(and no, my resume is NOT orange text on black background. that's just dark reader inverting google docs' colors so i don't fry my retinas in the dark)

I've been away for a while. Life took an unexpected turn, I learned some hard lessons, and came away with a better understanding of myself and the people around me. Grateful for the growth, and glad to be sharing things again.

This is a fantastic film that I saw at far too young an age to fully understand.... but believe me, I got it.

Took this yesterday. It’s been there for about a month like this. Not sure why Flock Safety is allowed to leave litter lying on the sidewalk.

Complain to your city streets department that someone has left trash obstructing the sidewalk and should be fined.
After a month, don't you get scavenger's rights? That solar panel looks useful.

What it says on the tin.
Mrs roonie has been dying to come back to Italy for decades, literally.
This morning we got up too early but it was cool and pretourists.
We're not tourists, we're just hear on holiday.
wait
Not speaking Italian is proving to be an issue at times. We"re going to move about and it might get worse.
Anyway. M&D had a photo of me at the colosseum when I was 3 or 4, that I have no memory of.
The big C is big.

Screenshot of a tweet by @sashikantsingh_ on Sept. 29, which reads "Open Al's internal benchmarks show GPT-6.1 Sol crushing Opus 5.5, with Anthropic struggling to keep up" Below it is a chart showing lines for GPT, Fable and Grok, in which the x axis is labeled "Release date" and the Y axis is labeled "Model number."

on this day (minus one day) in 1982: the sony CDP-101

japanese language ad for the first commercially-available compact disc player, the sony CDP-101. catalog shot of the large, rectangular CD deck, with dark walnut wood accents on the top. atop the deck are a pair of headphones. the CD tray is open, with a disc sitting in it. to the lower left of the deck is the rather chunky remote. to the lower right it reads "DIGITAL CDP-101"
saw something about this yesterday but forgot to post.

@ardgedee man, that is truly wild to think about. i had to look and US median (household!) income in 1982 was $23430, or ~$1950 a month.
*of course, i can't talk, but, dang.
*of course, i can't talk, but, dang.
oh man, the sony cd-lift/eject system left so much to be desired, the three little felt-covered pins that rose up to lift the disc, that would sometimes jam in their housing, preventing the tray from ejecting. and they would rise before the disc had stopped spinning, so if you had any dirt on them at all, it would scratch the disc.
anyway, yay for cd players. I got my first (cdp-25) four years later in 1986

FBI accuses Chloe Freeman of federal misdemeanor in case of undocumented Mexican migrant arrested in Michigan" then shows a picture of a man leaving what is assumed to be a hospital doorway. The caption on the picture says "A man identified only as 'OBP' is seen exiting Trinity Health Ann Arbor in Michigan in May. Photograph: US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan"

this is how it's done, people
"Freeman, who worked at the hospital at the time, told hospital investigators she did not agree with federal immigration officials “separating people from their families” and that she “was going to set him free”, the FBI complaint says. The undocumented man had still not been caught by the time she was charged in August."
