I feel I’m not being creative enough.

Hello. A day full of errands and stuff today. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I still wonder what the point of TouchID on Mac is every time it boots, if you have to log in with your password, which to me, seems less secure than your fingerprint. #apple #security

Forgetting is as important as remembering. The problem is knowing what to forget and what to remember. #life #success

Happy National Sourdough Bread Day

Good morning. Despite it being April Fool’s Day, I won’t be fooling. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Brutality masquerading as sport still pleases the emperors. #marketing #failure

Looking bad is often worse than being bad. #life #failure

It’s funny, that here in the US, we have something marketed as “RealID”. The name speaks volumes. Also, how the times have shifted. It wasn’t that long ago that a national ID card was deemed as fascist, and what Nazis and communists used to control the populace.

Do you journal? Do you write a diary? Do you know the difference? Seriously, which do you write? NOTE: I said write, not collage/draw/junk-journal, etc. #diary #journal #writing

What one physical game would you take to a deserted island? This implies you are alone on the island. #game #gamedev

Marketing/publishing folk who use AI: If you’re persistent and keep trying to get me to respond, keep trying. The longer you waste your time, the more effective I become. #editor #agent #publishing #writing #spam #marketing #ai

“She sat alone, crying. She wore no makeup, knowing it would wash away and smear. She came every day to sit and cry, hoping someone would talk to her, but everyone knew the game she played.” #writing #character

I miss going to live tech conferences, even if they weren’t very (Blake) lively. Now, most are online. Soon they will be moderated and presented by AIs and no human will attend. #tech #conference #ai

VisionPro was a fun experiment for Apple. I hope they learned from it. #apple #visionpro

IOS27 Siri will let users make multiple requests at once, allowing for multiple insane responses at once. And it will explain in excruciating and unnecessary detail why it believes it’s correct.~ #apple #ai #siri #failure #wwdc

Just because you believe you are “right”, probably means you are, but that doesn’t mean you are correct.~

How do you print a capital E? Do you for am L and then the top two cross-bars, or sweep up to form a Gamma and do the lowers? Or do you draw a vertical followed by 3 bars? Or do you just run everything into a single stroke? #handwriting #printing
