Growing older
I’ve finally reached that time in my life where it’s become tempting to lie about my age. While this has long been an accepted if not celebrated custom of women, it’s not been as popular among men.

While all of the content from that blog ends up being cross-posted here, there are plenty of satirical, technical, and personal bits in this space which won’t…
