  • My wife and I just started watching “Your Honor” on Netflix. In the first episode, the judge’s son kills someone in a hit and run and comes home and tries to wash his bloody clothes. He doesn’t know how to use the washer and ends up flooding the laundry room.

    I turned to my wife and said, “that’s why we insisted on teaching the kids to do their own laundry.”

    If you’re doing it right, by the time your kids are 18, they should be able to take care of every basic task in the home on their own.








  • I used to work in the GRASP lab at Penn, and my predecessor there was John Bradley of xv fame. He had started naming all the machines after fish.

    When I got there I continued the practice, naming some tiny computers being used for mini robots after different types of goldfish.

    In my current job, years ago, I managed a group of Linux servers, and I named them after Demons (Lucifer, Asmodeus, Azrael, Beelzebub, etc.).

    At this point, there is a specific naming convention in use where I’m at, and the name is limited to identifying organization, application, and server type.
