I'm fortunate not to need it, but I tried taking public transit to work today! Simply as an experiment.

It's that time of year again for HPCOR; the high performance computing operator's review! This time, my colleagues and I went to Sandia Labs in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I am now part of two different running clubs, both with the same acronym! "MRC," for "Marin Running Club" and "Marina Run Club." I've been going to the Marin Running Club for several months now, but this week was my second week attending the Marina Run Club in San Francisco.
We're nearing the end of August already. At the beginning of 2024, I had 2 simple New Year's resolutions. How am I doing? Did I keep them, or stop after a week, like most people?
