The goal of any emotion is to survive and grow stronger until it consumes you. #life #failure

Howdy. We’re all back for another Monday. It’s better than the alternative. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Enrich someone’s life.

Happy VCR Day. Go dust it off.

Hello. Try to relax and have some harmless fun today. Stay hydrated. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Sometimes, you just have to exist as a human. #life

Overheard: two old dudes arguing the merits of ShamWow(R). The older you get the more such things matter, apparently. #life #character

I’ve begun transcribing, from chickenscratch, a short story I wrote in 2021. It was an experiment to see if I could do more setting/mood than character/action. It’s interesting and decent, but more flowery than I feel is my “style”. #writing

Do you seek challenges or are you content to coast? #life

I hate apps that offer a “special gift” which is just a free trial and a “discount” which is always the same and always active. Idiots will idiot. #ios #marketing #failure #apple

I’m awful at design, but I know bad design when I see it. Most of it is mine.

Back in my day, GitHub didn’t require a login to view public projects. #gothub #failure

OK. I found the binaries for most of my old Apple Newton MessagePad software. I’ve put them on my site as freely downloadable. As is! I was hoping to find the source code, but that’s long gone. visualnewt.com/code/newt… #apple #newton #messagepad #visiualnewt

Greetings. Stay cool. Drink water. Sit around and do nothing. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

If dogs and cats can wear flea and tick collars, why don’t humans?

Humans tend to forget the good things that happen and dwell on the bad. Remember the good things in your life every day. Start a “win” journal or list of things you enjoyed during the day. When you feel down, review it. #life #success #journal

People actually worry about how a keyboard sounds? Huh? #tech

Happy Apple ][ Day

It’s going to be 93ºF. Stay hydrated.

Good morning, everyone. Be kind not because you have to, but because you can. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Making a mistake is never a waste of time. #life

Life isn’t about productivity. It’s about living. #life
