of UFO bowls and meringue

i had a dream last night where this white meringue-like substance that was growing out of nowhere. like, i was sitting around, and suddenly, my t-shirt was covered with the stuff. from what i can remember, it was pretty tasty, because i kept on eating it.

productive

today was a good work day. i dug into some code i wasn’t familiar with, and i figured this feature out that we needed for a chip that we’re working on. then, re-did some work with another coworker that involved assertions. overall, not too shabby. tomorrow, i’ll be working on some [...]
