I miss developing physical photographic film. We have lost a lot of hands-on personal accomplishment and involvement with the rise of technology. We are handing over our achievements to a digital non-entity. #life #failure #photography

Observed: restaurant staff singing “Happy Birthday”. 1 - They look like they have been forced to participate. 2 - I doubt the restaurant has/will pay the royalty 3 - No one can sing. That makes me feel better, because I can’t. #life #birthday

The problem with a “single source of truth” is no one can agree on what truth is. We need a single source of fact and accuracy. #life #programming #failure

Back in my day we had the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Funk & Wagnell’s. Now what? #life

If perfection doesn’t exist And god is perfect, Then there is no god or perfection. If perfection exists, And god is perfect, And if it is attainable, You can be god. If perfection is an illusion, And god is an illusion, Then you are deluded. If perfection is unattainable, Why do you try? #life …

When someone near you exclaims, “Thank God!” be sure to acknowledge it. #life

Death has a way of bringing you down–six feet. Not always. 6’ was to keep disease from spreading, make it more difficult for grave robbers and animals from getting to the remains. But no one used a yard/meterstick. My theory:it was deeper than the average man, keeping him from crawling out. #life

Becoming bored with a thing, animate or inanimate is related to their ability to entertain you. #life #failure

The problem with customers is they tend to like things they buy, unless you piss them off or surprise them in unexpected ways. That’s why reviews are pretty much meaningless. #life

Knowing what you’re doing is better than (not trumping) stumbling though. #life

If someone ruins something you enjoy (a game, a show, a song, etc) is that their fault or yours? Probably, it’s yours. You can’t adapt, or accept their viewpoint. #life #failure
