Github Archive Program

On 02/02/2020 GitHub captured a snapshot of every active public repository. Those millions of repos were then archived to hardened film designed to last for 1,000 years, and stored in the GitHub Arctic Code Vault in a decommissioned coal mine deep beneath an Arctic mountain in Svalbard, Norway.

Is that how we want to raise our children? As elephant racists?

Brian

Looks like you're faced with Sophie's Choice: do you shoot your peanut butter child, or your chocolate child?

Brian

Melissa
Against the Octopus

If every animal is special, and each one has its own, unique intelligence, then why should we be any more enamored of the octopus than, say, the clownfish or the clam?

Brian
№ 123 Pet Names

No, not cute names for each other: the best names to give a pet. Or a working animal. Or a plant. Or anything, really, who knows what will show up on this list.

Brian sang rock-a-bye-baby to Amber in the voice of the Swedish Chef as he swung her around, and she giggled uproariously.

Melissa

Lydia, while you were sleeping we tattooed a wolf on your butt. And if you don't believe me, you can go show your butt to your mother and ask her.

Brian

I never listen to the haters. And it's a good thing, because they're never right.

Brian

Brian brought Penny to sit on our bed, and she just started laughing with delight and shaking from side to side in her happiness at seeing us.

Melissa

Brian beat me by one point in Terraforming Mars, but then as we were putting the game away we discovered a card that gave me an extra two points which I'd forgotten to count.

№ 119 Movies 2019

Melissa and Brian share their favorite and least favorite movies they first viewed in 2019.

It was 8:30 at night, and Brian and I hadn't eaten. I had wanted to make burgers, but it just kept getting later and later as we tried to get the kids into bed at a decent hour. Finally they were down, but since it was so late I considered just scrounging. Brian, self-sacrificing that he is, said that would be fine with him. I felt dissatisfied with how the night was turning out, and after a minute of internal debate declared I was going to make the burgers anyway. He looked so pleased, I knew I’d made the right decision.

Shen Yun performance with Brian

Playing with Lydia and Amber on Saturday morning, carrying them in our arms and treating them like babies. They loved it, and were so sweet, cute, and giggly.

Melissa

Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked I shall come into the living room.

№ 118 372 Adventure

Brian selfishly recorded a podcast for himself and Melissa. And Ben De Bono of The Sci-Fi Christian. And maybe Matt Anderson of The Sci-Fi Christian. Only for fans of the podcast 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back, anyway.
