USNS Comfort - Welcome Home!
Just wanted to take a second out and welcome back the crew of the Comfort. I can not believe that time went by so fast. I still remember taking a friend of mine out to dinner at Silver Diner right before she got deployed. I have not heard from here but I hope that she is safe and sound and back in one piece.
If you read the comfort blog, you know that they suffered a tragedy while they were doing their great work, and Senior Chief Branum will surely be missed!
I wish I was able to go on that ship but unfortunately I had to transfer and am now stuck here in Portsmouth forever!
I am proud of everyone who was on that deployment for all of the wonderful work they did! If you have some time check out that blog, it details all the work that went down during that deployment. Some very wonderful and touching stories on there!
Big Navy Hooyaa! For all who were a part of this. I read on the White House Blog, that Mrs. Obama welcomed all of the sailors back home right here in Norfolk! I cannot believe that I was out of town and missed this event, would have been great to see all of my friends.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

Safari and system design, pt. 2
Around the time I was writing about iPhone’s Safari breaking the expected “tap to jump to the top” gesture, a conversation on social media pointed to yet another thing that this tab control does strangely. A typical use of Safari means two groups of sites:...

The crypto industry has spent $200 million to get a bill too corrupt for Democrats to pass and a president too corrupt to sign anything that might meaningfully limit his grift.
