It’s Friday. Do the Friday thing.

Hello. Don’t indulge your emotions. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I miss giving talks.

Darth Maul wasn’t half bad…

Ok. I’m going to stop trying to be productive for the rest of the day. It’s not working out.

Been busy editing again. Time for a break.

It’s going to be around 70º here today and tomorrow. Then down to 40+ on Saturday. This winter is weird. #netde

Of course, now I have to literally wait two hours for the latest #XCode to download… Bloatware. #apple #failure

OK. Universal Control on Apple is what I needed. No more using Swift Previews to debug (they are/were awful). Now I can just use and control my iOS devices with my Mac. Seamlessly! Well apart from the air gap which is a seam. #ios #apple #mac #success @tim_cook

Happy National Cabbage Day

Good morning. You don’t have to live up to other people’s expectations, unless you set them yourself. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plot: “Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy stalks girl. Girl kills boy.” #writing

Paint a rainbow on your heart.

Ok, plan for tomorrow: be a lump.

Belief is a lie we tell ourself.

Why did the Arecibo dish collapse? Aliens!

I’ve concluded that I don’t know enough, and never will. And that’s ok. #life

OK. Things booked.

Hotel booked for #bouchercon.

I’ve made decent progress on the writing, journaling, and migration apps today. I really like SwiftUI. I still need to figure out how to use “receive(on:”. I’m almost ready to migrate all my files. #ios #swiftui

Sometimes you have to amuse yourself to remain sane, despite what everyone else thinks. #life #humor

Server: “We’re going to have a bagpipe player for St.Patricks’s Day.” Me: “Is that a game?” …smart ass remark That’s what I have to deal with .~

Has anyone done a scientific study of how many authors have actually committed murder, espionage, or encountered a zombie/kaiju?
