"I had stuff to do"

My publisher notified me of another sale on my Androids audiobook: 50% off, so it's just $10. The promotion runs through January 26th. (If you already have it / listened to it / read it: thanks! I hope you enjoyed it!) audiobooks.com/promotions/pr…

We have two cats. One is like a close friend: very playful and affectionate. The other is like a colleague: our relationship is purely professional, and touching is terribly inappropriate.

Loaded nachos are the Jenga of appetizers. One wrong move and you have a complete mess on your hands.

I chased a longstanding network speed issue to a specific ethernet cable in my house. I unplugged and tested it: it performed fine. I plugged it back in and the network worked perfectly. Clearly a case of Schrödinger's Cat6.

I just used the last swab from a mega Costco Q-tip box. It's the end of an eara.

Don't have the Androids audiobook yet? Or need a second copy to listen to it in stereo? My publisher is running a 50% off sale through September 5, get yours for $10: audiobooks.com/promotions/pr…

After spending 3 hours on a 3.4 mile journey on i680 yesterday, it was hard not to appreciate the sarcasm in this exit ramp sign. Well played, Caltrans.

I ran a half marathon in Chicago this morning. I'm not sure my head is in the right place for racing. In the last mile, someone had a sign that read "IF YOU RUN FASTER YOU'LL FINISH FASTER," which made me think, "Finish *Sooner*, not *Faster*"

Wait, you *still* haven't listened to #AndroidsBook? What are you waiting for? A sale? Good call: my publisher is selling the audiobook for 50% off until May 11 here: audiobooks.com/promotions/pr…

I just donated all 2024 royalties from my Androids book to @BlackGirlsCode (Previously, royalties were split between BGC and Women Who Code, but WWC dissolved this year. I guess I didn't sell enough books to keep them solvent.) chethaase.com/androids wearebgc.org

My main regret with the No Starch Press edition of my Androids book is that they somehow left out the intro quote from @ficus. It's such a perfect start to the story. So we fixed the problem today for the books I had.

Actually bsky.app/profile/chethaase.c… I changed my handle to my domain (@chethaase.com), which changed the profile URL (same account though, which retains anyone who followed via the previous handle)

You can now find me over here as well: bsky.app/profile/chethaase.b…

Hearing the bagpipes play in the park across the street makes me wistful for a time earlier in my life, when the window was closed.

Even in the middle of a big city, you can still enjoy nature and wildlife.

That moment in the shower after a long run in the rain when you realize all the places on your body that had been chafing the entire time.
