In the new year.



I'm not much for resolutions, but Lacy hopes to be a mature girl this year. She's sort of been on rolling restriction. But she's three now.... and I'm hoping she's finally grown up.

    Lacy had best be on her good behavior around Florida Man or he'll turn her into hassenpfeffer with beer-battered onion rings and a Coke.

    As for me, I've had to do some state border hopping in the past few months, so I am not entirely sure whether I'm joining Florida Man on this one.

    Certain types of personal belongings have been stored out of the State of Florida for the past few months, just because of possible legal complications should some people think they can pull some bullshit (again).

    I am in the Christmas spirit, however ...

    My Christmas present this year consists of finding out who the people behind that "(again)" part happen to be, so this time their MacGuffining of other people won't distract me nearly as much.

    I have a really fantastic Christmas present for those people in 2020. :-)

    AND IT'S TOTALLY NOT A JETPACK
    BECAUSE I ALREADY GAVE YOU YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT :-)

    *snark snark snark*

    But now I'm debating whether I need to move myself during 2020 or 2021 -- I have a possible destination that I don't really know much about except that my flight time into Chicago won't change by much ...

    If this is going to happen, I probably won't be able to talk about it: this state plus the five states around it have less population together than Washington state, and so I'm probably going to start being a lot more obvious.

    The biggest down side so far: in certain unwelcome situations, I may have $400+ Lyft and Uber rides across the state to a backup airport, and in some really fucked up situations, you could probably double that. (That's assuming that all of the rental cars in the area are already rented out and that there isn't even an untimely option for a bus trip.)

    The biggest up side so far: I will be closer to the few North American customers my company has, and so the meet-and-greet thing for the transition might be a lot easier to do in person on their turf, saving me a few domestic plane trips as long as I'm willing to put up with the drive.

    Besides, the hotels in Chicago where I've been staying now appear to have records that include how I like my steak cooked for room service ...

    So you might have to keep Lacy from pulling a Bugs Bunny with Florida on your own. :-)

    It's totally rude to not appreciate a gift someone has given you - now I have to figure out how to sell this thing on eBay without you knowing about it.

    Oh, you touched it!

    DID I MENTION THE AGGRESSIVE BIOMETRICS PAIRING?

    The jetpack is irrevocably 1OO% yours.

    I thought you of all Bay Area denizens would understand the technological imperative to provide The Best User Experience Evar. :-)

    Just think of it as the Tesla model with jetpacks.

    MANDATORY SOFTWARE UPDATE INSTALLED

    Ah, there you go. :-)

    Also, what did you think happened with those fired Fitbit software dev guys?

    NOW THEY ARE FREE TO CREATE THE BEST PELOTON EVAR
    WITH JET-POWERED PROPULSION ASSIST FOR THE WIN!

    :-)

    Oh no. I don't touch anything with my real skin this time of year. I'm on CES rules. I use elbows for everything and shirts to open doors. You can't prove I touched it.
