+
+### Highlights
+
+- This was my second week at the new job and I feel like I'm starting to settle in. During the IT Department's weekly meeting, I was told that I have better hair than most of the women in the office. Just wait until they find out I'm pretty good at computers, too! On that note, I do have a small project to work on, and I've scheduled meetings with some development teams this coming week so I can learn how they build things (and how I can build things to help them build things). I'm excited!
+- I do kind of miss the walking route(s) I had at my old job. There don't seem to be any good routes at the new one, but there *are* four flights of stairs between the parking lot and my desk. So I've been trying to walk those more to get some physical activity throughout the day.
+
+- After last weekend's 40(ish)-mile ride, I took a few light rides to recover. And then got back into a threshold training ride on Thursday that *really* kicked my butt. I guess I still had some more recovery to do.
+
+- I skipped Friday and Saturday due to weather, but went out for a relaxing 22-mile ride this morning and felt great. I was chased (briefly) by a dog that appeared out of nowhere to say hi and I saw a person looking *absolutely frickin' ridiculous* on an ellptical bike.
+
+### I learned...
+
+- I figured out how to trigger a GitHub Actions workflow from another repo[1].

+
+- It turns out that `{[]}` and `{{}}` don't mean the same thing in SilverBullet configs.
+
+### I tinkered...
+
+- I deployed an Ubuntu 24.04 VM on my homelab to start playing with podman[1] and specifically Quadlet[2] for managing containers with systemd. It seems pretty neat so far, and I really like the podman approach. I hope to find more time to play with it in the coming weeks.

+- We're binging season 4 of Only Murders in the Building[1], and really enjoying it. But we only have a few episodes left before we catch up with the weekly release schedule and that's going to be a rough adjustment.
+- We're watching a *lot* of Drag Race as the episodes are released: Global All Stars[2], España[3] Season 4, and UK[4] Season 6. We're also really looking forward to the new season of Dragula[5].

+- I've been listening to a playlist I put together[1] to get ready for a 3-day metal festival next weekend. I just grabbed the top four tracks from each performer, and that added up to over **twenty hours** of music. So I imagine I'll be jamming to that all this week, too. (I just hope this festival goes better than the last one[2] we attended.)

+- NIST published revised password guidelines[1]: complexity requirements ("x character classes") are out, and minimum lengths are longer. This is great!
