Congratulations, USA, on getting a smart, hardworking woman as a VP. We’ve had one since 2016.

Pag pinadalhanka ng bill ng meralco sabihan mo sila na mukhang pera
Quoted PhilippineStar's tweet:‘MUKHANG PERA’
This was President Duterte’s comment when Health Secretary Francisco Duque III reported during a Cabinet meeting that the Philippine Red Cross has resumed conducting COVID-19 swab tests after the PhilHealth paid its close to P1-B debt. | @xtinamen

One upside of this election is that I’ve learned a lot about where US states are on the map

He should just migrate here to the Philippines, thats how 90% of our politicians are
Quoted bmemike's tweet:@wrongwaygoback I heard something in coverage earlier today and it’s just 100% spot on:
The only two outcomes for Trump is that he wins or the election was stolen. He can never be a loser. It’s just not part of his brand.

Wow, the new @PlayStation web store is so much worse than the old one

I’ve been quiet on Twitter but rest assured like the rest of you I’ve been gnashing my teeth over these red and blue numbers that may very well decide the future of the planet

Okay, this feels a bit crazy. It’s a promoted tweet (basically an ad, for what idk), but then the video in the promoted tweet has an ad! Adception!

So I think the draft itself was fine, but spoiler: the outcome was terrible! Bonus: A couple of Eternal matches!

Managed to hit mythic on #magicarena the day before rollover lol. I was using @karsten_frank ’s Gruul Adventures list #mtg
Quoted karsten_frank's tweet:I went 20-5 with Gruul Adventures across #RedBullUntapped2020 and the Arena Qualifier this weekend. Deck’s great.

Summary:
- Like every other sensible person in the pandemic, I am staying hunkered down at home all of the time. Really only going out to get groceries and meds.
- Work/employment is not a priority.
Current Location:
- still living in Quezon City, Philippines.
Work
- I still work part-time as a software developer/technical lead/system architect consultant, with the emphasis on part-time.
- No specific clients I care to mention, though it’s easy to find out if you dig around a bit.
- I am very picky with taking on new work, and I usually have very few hours I’m willing to dedicate to any one client, and will usually prefer interesting work. I don’t consider work nor full-time employment to be an important part of my identity and it is definitely not a priority.
- Nonetheless, if you have a work opportunity you feel I might like, feel free to contact me, maybe we’ll get lucky.
How am I spending my time
- I’m working on multiple personal projects, most of which I don’t want to talk about. The only public one is this website/blog. I write as often as I can and am constantly trying to update this site to make it better or more to my liking.
- I still do a lot of gaming
- Quiz team does online quiz nights, a few times a month
- Check the weeknotes for regular updates.

Local banks need to be making sure their websites work with Firefox. Not everyone uses Chrome!

Despite not having played Eternal since before the pandemic, after reading this tweet from LSV, I signed up for the event he described and got the 7 wins and qualified for the LCQ in the first try. I used Skelle’s decklist from here: https://direwolfdigital.com/news/throne-summer-championship-decklists/
I’m having fun!
Quoted lsv's tweet:This is the perfect time to get into Eternal - you can try any deck you want, you’ve got a high-stakes tournament to play in, and there are lots of resources in the article for decklists, strategy guides, and more. I’m really hype about this, and would love to see what you think!
@EternalCardGame should I have gotten some kind of token from these prize chests? How can I verify that I’m qualified for the LCQ?

In a pandemic, we wear masks to protect others.
On the internet, we should avoid Facebook to protect others.

Unlikely, as long as their fanbase remains rabid. Here in the Philippines, Marcos’ children have risen the ranks in local politics unrepentant of and despite their father’s infamy, on the back of patronage and propaganda
Quoted JessicaValenti's tweet:One day Ivanka will try to separate herself from her father in an attempt to reenter polite society. There will be a tearful confession, a book deal, or a glossy PR campaign.
We can never let that bullshit be successful
-
The only bug I encountered was that I lost the first game and it awarded me the prize for the win anyway lol. I won the second game, so I only needed to play twice.

10/23 Friday afternoon Zendikar Rising draft! ep9 https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #mtg #magicarena #mtgznr #twitch
Draft no. 11 went reasonably well, although I realized later that I didn’t get a full art land for this one, apparently the promo had already ended. Will still play one more draft next week in this series to wrap it up, I guess.

Today in how dumb I am: a replacement band for my fitbit that I had ordered arrived today. I easily removed the old band and quickly put the new one in place but when I tried to wear it, I realized I had put them on upside-down. =/ And now I can’t remove it!

I think I’ll go ahead and turn these 4 mythic WCs from the Uro ban, turn them into Omnaths, then jam them into my Adventures deck. If Omnath gets the axe later, I get the WCs back! #mtg #magicarena
