Good morning friends, it’s Friday, August 8, 2025. It’s currently 96 degrees outside and sunny, and I am relaxing at home in Fort Worth, Texas.

I’m gonna keep this one pretty short today, as tomorrow is my 40th birthday and I have a lot I need to do to prepare for the pool & pizza party.

Last night I went and saw the new movie from producer & director Zach Cregger—Weapons.

TL;DR: If you like scary movies with a bit of humor to take the edge off, you have to go see this.

If you enjoy Stephen King as an author, you have to go see this. My first thought as I left the theater was “That’s the closest I’ve ever seen a movie come to capturing the vibe of a good Stephen King novel”.

Round of applause for Zach Cregger, this will be remember as one of the top-tier horror movies of 2025.

In other news, this is the 3rd day where I have successfully finished two new daily habits: A 20 minute run in my neighborhood, and writing and publishing a short blog post. Both of these habits are trivial when done once, but will add up to something significant if I do them every day.

For you open source nerds out there, here’s a new podcast episode from the Changelog that I shot and edited (with an extra camera angle provided by Mr. Gerhard Lazu):

That’s all from me for now. Thanks for reading!
