Democrats are pissed that the stock market is going to go up tomorrow and oil futures are going to drop.

Scientists mapped a piece of brain the size of half a grain of rice. One-millionth the size of the human brain. It took them a year and over 1.4 million gigabytes to scan it. They found over 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, and even some new structures they didn't know existed. Mapping the entire human brain in this level of detail would require all the data storage generated on Earth in a year a 140-acre data center. But the human brain itself can hold up to ~2.5 million gigabytes of information - enough for ~3 million hours of HD video or 342 years of continuous viewing. It can process roughly 10 quadrillion calculations per second - enough processing power to run over 4,000 high-end gaming PCs all operating at peak ability. And it only runs on the amount of power needed for a single dim light bulb. No technology even comes close to doing what the brain can do. The more we learn about biology, the more complex it becomes. This is God's Glory on display.

I didn’t write Thin Ice to tell people my story. I wrote it to understand it. Turns out… when you slow down and look back, you start seeing the patterns that shaped you.

AI isn’t magic. It’s just probability wrapped in confidence. The real power comes when you connect it to: • tools • data • feedback loops That’s when it stops “answering” and starts doing.

Your identity isn’t what you say it is. It’s what remains when things get taken away. Career. Health. Status. Strip it all back and what’s left… That’s the real you.

Didn’t expect to see Thin Ice break into the Top 100 in its category this week. Really appreciate everyone who’s taken the time to read it and share their thoughts.

I spent a lot of years trying to prove I wasn’t what I was told I’d be. At some point that stops working. Then you have to figure out who you are without that.

One thing I didn’t expect with Thin Ice is how often people say it made them reflect on their own lives. I wrote it to understand mine. Didn’t expect that part.

I wrote Thin Ice like I had it all figured out. Truth is, I was just surviving one system failure at a time. Career. Health. Identity. You don’t fix that with discipline. You fix it by understanding what broke.

April is Autism Acceptance Month. My memoir Thin Ice releases March 31st, and that timing isn’t accidental. For most of my life I didn’t know I was autistic. I built a career in technology — enterprise architecture, DevOps transformation, and platform engineering — and from the outside it looked like a straight line. Inside, it often felt like crossing ice you weren’t sure would hold. Receiving a diagnosis later in life didn’t change who I was. It explained decades of experiences that never quite made sense. Writing Thin Ice meant stepping back from the systems I built to navigate the world and telling the honest story behind them. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing parts of that journey — what autism looked like from inside a high-performing career, and what it means to understand yourself after years of moving forward without a map. If you’ve ever felt like you were navigating life without one, this story may resonate. Thin Ice: Survival, Identity, and Learning Who I Was All Along is now available. #AutismAcceptanceMonth #AutismAcceptance #Neurodiversity #LateDiagnosis #Leadership #TechnologyCareers #PersonalJourney #Memoir patsantry.com/thin-ice/

I thought writing the book was about figuring things out. Turns out I was also leaving reminders for myself. Reading it now, I need some of that same wisdom again.

Let’s see if people go broke or if AI providers pull back on the cost. Both Anthropic and xAI are throttling use and adding surcharges and what you pay they give you a pittance.

God only gives you a limited number of laters and you cannot know in advance which one is the last one.

Fell through ice at ten. Built a life from the wreckage. Book drops Tuesday. No bullshit.

If you’re on Goodreads, adding Thin Ice to your “Want to Read” list helps more than you’d think. Launch is March 31.
