Hello fediverse 👋​ allow me to #introduction myself.

My name's Isaac. I live in Minneapolis, MN near a nice little lake that I enjoy walking laps around. I'm a rabid music fan, amateur mechanic, science fiction lover, software developer, and general tinkerer.

You can find more information about me at my website: https://hisaac.net/about/

Here's one of my favorite songs of all time: https://song.link/i/1015732118

Have a nice day!

Question for metric system users: I’m 6 foot 6 inches tall, which converts to 1.981 meters. How would a normal person say they were that tall? 198 centimeters? 1.98 meters? Round to 2 meters? Something else?

To be honest, the “Not from me cuz you will just get angry” bit made me laugh 😅

heh, selling my project car is not going well…

I’m headed to Woodstock, IL for the weekend to attend Macstock! https://macstockconferenceandexpo.com

Uffdah, switching anti-depressants is no fun. I feel super weird.

I do miss my son (he’s at his grandparent’s house for the week), but coffee and the news feed on the porch is a nice consolation.

My one wish for iOS 16 is that I no longer have to approve EVERY URL I try to use with a Shortcut. Who thought this was an acceptable design??

A new feature that I worked on at my job — parallel build jobs — was just released in beta. I'm excited to see how folks make use of it. https://blog.bitrise.io/post/build-pipelines-efficient-ci-cd-workflows-with-parallelization

My 3 year old just called me “the best goofy guy in the world”, and it just might be the best compliment I’ve ever received.

For me:

1. In Rainbows
2. Hail to the Thief
3. Pablo Honey
