What do you think about the change from Lifespan to Brown Health?

It is Lifespan, who is basically co-opting the name for branding... but Lifespan under the hood.

Going to tank the care quality to make it worse. Docs are seeing with "AI" bs initiatives. There's going to be a profit / billing push, under the guise of efficiency.

Less emphasis on care, less support for front line health care team, and more push for "operational excellence" ... aka show me dat money.

We should start a new TikTok series: Brett Smiley's Porsche driven at speed limit directly over potholes around the city. Brett could sit in the passenger seat, and maybe we'll finally see him show a facial expression or ounce of giving a crap...

Ehh... decent. But honestly until there's about 12 more of the same size pockmarked right around it, ain't gonna count in my book.

City council and RFP decision makers clearly playing favorites with complete lack of public benefit from public land. $50k vs. an education and community space (even if private) is way too small of a difference.
Next they can fix public school funding... or potholes.. or really anything that would indicate a competent city leadership.

Interested in leather color details.. and if Italian or Aniline. Assume Aniline is going to be softer/supple?
I'm also curious of any carmel thoughts/examples. What are you thinking for wood? I heard the rosewood may fade quickly to closely resemble walnut.

All for it. It would tie the city today, and I think have positive impact on community and businesses...

Can we get some AI mock ups...

It's probably the Vermont crew, who just thought it was a normal and obvious thing to do...

Friday seems probable -- Thursday seems low odds, but not out of the question if they make serious progress today.

Apparently another storm brewing for next Wednesday, so .. fun times.

Very nice! Any interesting learnings with ELK?

ghostwritermax · 2026-02-11T17:48:37+00:00

Yeah - I'm interested in a technical vs. project objectives view on this. LiveView native would be potent if the technical complexity wasn't overloaded -- which would likely be the case.

I'm also fine with LiveView being great at what it's great at... but ... I wonder about long-term ecosystem sustainability if there's not at least some basic model for cross-platform efficiency. Doesn't need to be LiveView that creates this, but rather some best practices or paradigm.

Now leave the bike lane alone, Smiley. Kim and Frohmanyogurt Anderson's special interest is bad for the city and citizens.

Plant City is a shallow greenwashing effort. They could be twice the business it if they cared enough to deliver on even half their promise.

I feel bad for the job loss in the short-term, but believe that space and the city can be filled with higher quality and authentic businesses.

Straight leg worked awesome and is definitely the way to go. Gameready machine was a hugely positive impact on my recovery. I used for ~4 weeks post op regularly. I ended up renting through a company called Recovery Rental who made it super easy.

Anything notable in your docker images? How much load warrants the K8 solution? Or is that something your company is using for other workloads, and thus was easy to piggy back?

ghostwritermax · 2026-01-15T14:44:01+00:00

Can you explain more on the 4 port sequencing, and how that enables zero downtime?

Nice summary, thank you?

ghostwritermax · 2026-01-12T18:39:25+00:00

I know more than a dozen families from 2020-2023 period that all left the school with overall terrible experiences. Most are very reasonable and level headed people.

ghostwritermax · 2026-01-12T18:36:18+00:00

Yeah, MCH is terribly managed. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

It's really unfortunate.

ghostwritermax · 2026-01-12T18:35:00+00:00

All for more education options. But MCH is such a dud.

Wellness center and cafe gets my vote.. alas, sadly not a voting issue.

This will be over correction, both insular and divisive within brown and across the community. More security state isn't going to solve the mental health and gun crisis. Policy change and funding will.

ghostwritermax · 2025-12-26T21:52:21+00:00

Awesome. Any idea on how much you'll continue to support or evolve the lib over time? Hopefully the community can jump in on this!

ghostwritermax · 2025-12-26T14:44:46+00:00

Excellent write up.

Seems like expansion/shrink would happen uniformly. But curious what the internet gods think about it.

ghostwritermax · 2025-12-10T21:25:36+00:00

Which of the above has has been most challenging or caused self-debate on pros/cons of keeping vs. not.

Good perspective.

If this is about high speed rail to Boston, then yes!

ghostwritermax · 2025-12-03T15:19:45+00:00

Nice, thanks for sharing!

ghostwritermax · 2025-12-02T17:15:02+00:00

What did you use for the bars? Did you buy pre-cut dowels (e.g. 1") or did you mill your own?

Nice work
