Hello World!
Thursday, January 16, 2025
Happy Thursday Everyone! It’s now been almost two weeks since my first post on micro.blog and it seems like a perfect time to introduce myself to the community. My name is Eric Cohn and I live in Houston, Texas. I’ve been a life-long tech-obsessive and low-key nerd and have worked at tech companies for most of my professional life. Was laid off a week and a half ago during a “RiF” at a company that I just joined so my professional commitments have reduced by close to 100%, it’s a perfect time to get to know a new platform!
Found out eric.ai was a thing today. 50/50 chance you just get me, Googling stuff.
Was happily surprised to see @manton and Micro.blog on @davidpierce’s Installer newsletter over at The Verge this morning.
The future is now.
Been learning chess (badly) lately. Enjoyed today’s xkcd a lot.
Not a big gamer at all but I’ve been casually playing the Last of Us series and finally just finished TLOU2. All I can say is WOW. I’ve never played a game like that in my life. Honestly, it felt more like an interactive movie than a video game. I’m not crying, you’re crying….

Lovely day at the Houston Museum of Natural Science before the cold front comes through Texas this afternoon.
Finally had a chance to visit the excellent Lone Star Flight Museum down at Ellington Field AKA The Houston Spaceport. The kids LOVED it.
First post! Thanks to @jthingelstad for the encouragement and opportunity here - lets see what this can be….
