“Dark Side of the Room”

Some people are not endowed with humor the same way I’m not endowed with a third-eye. I pity neither. #life #humor

A million failures can still outweighs a final success. #life

Would you buy a book with a grammatical problem with the title, one that made the title symmetrical on the cover? I wouldn’t. I’m seeing a bunch of these. #books #reading #marketing #failure

It’s never the last thing you do which matters, it’s what you do now. #life #zen #tao

“She read my mind then ripped it to shreds.” #writing

“The popcorn flew all over the kitchen. He giggled. Then the house caught on fire.” #writing

Overheard: “I only have Old Bay as far as dry-rubs for wings go.” I don’t consider Old Bay a “dry rub” for wings. #food #failure

I’m trying to decide whether I want to include some sort of Microsoft interchange. I don’t use their products. Nah. I have too much to do as it is… #writing #programming

“The last chance always comes again.” #writing

I’m predicting I will need to rewrite/redesign 20% of my code base after #wwdc. That’s low since I normally have to redo 40-60%. It’s low because I’ve shifted my code rewrites to #swiftui

One thing I have not missed, and enjoyed not having around me, is country/western music (such as it is). I forgot how much it reminds me of a toothache that comes and goes every few days. It also feels that same way. #music #covid

I haven’t tried writing a script in a couple of years. Maybe after #nanowrimo . My priorities now are to get the noir out and finish editing the thriller. I need to create an AI that does what I tell it to. #writing #editing

How do you detect a time traveler? It’s the person talking to themselves and not wearing ear-buds. #writing

Observed: There’s always some old guy talking to himself after the waitperson got tired of dealing with him. Luckily, I’m neither. #writing #character

“She sat on the roof dangling her legs over the edge trying to touch the sun as it went down.” #writing

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. There is no value in comparing yours to someone else’s. #life

Break time. A penultimate editing pass through the noir is complete. #writing

FYI: The old Magic Keyboard works perfectly with the new iPadPro. I’m not sure what the hullabaloo was about. #ipad

Happy National Grape Popsicle Day

Good morning. Drink water, stretch, rest your eyes today. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
