Good morning. Today is full of personal errands, writing, and eating time for the ceremonial coffee.

Be the type of person you admire. #life

The voices in my head are telling me to eat lunch.

Happy Do A Grouch a Favor Day

The Gathering is quiet this morning. They must be planning something evil. #cat

Good morning. Be thankful for the morning. You might not be here to enjoy it. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Hm. Apple phasing out iWork? I hope they’re just going to rebrand sans AI. Some of Apple’s best apps, by far. #apple #iwork

Time for some hot tea.

“Some people give away their consciousness and decision making to others.” #writing

I need a vacation.

I feel spring is in stealth mode, sneaking up on us only to stab us with summer heat.

The next “major” holiday here in the States is Presidents’ Day. So, who qualifies as president?.~

Marketing is so much easier than sales or innovation. That’s why so many people do it. #life #marketing #failure

So. Editor vs. curator. What’s the real difference? Oh right, the curator decides based on personal parameters. So, no real difference.

Philosophical/computing question: How much (CPU) power is needed to satisfy a human vs. an AI running on that CPU? And is it inversely proportional to the intelligence of the human? #life #philogophy #computing #ai

Vicious Rumor: WWDC26 to focus/promote AI-driven development, Shortcuts, and scheduling. Siri is still an idiot. #wwdc26 #failure #ai

PSA: Olympic curling has nothing to do with hair. #olympics

Tax credits are given to those whose agenda the government wants to promote, not to those who benefit the country or humankind. #government #failure

WWDC 2026 Expecting nothing. More filler: emojis, new/updated chrome, even more market-spit/spit. I’m also expecting more Swift/SwiftUI macro/obfuscation. Remember when Apple was creative and innovative? This is what happens when AI is allowed to drive decisions. #apple #wwdc #failure #swift #ai

Apple mail doesn’t synchronize rules across devices, or even give you filtering options on iOS/iPadOS. It relies on server-side help, which is useless since the server has no access to your contacts (as it should) #apple #icloud #mail #failure

OK. I’ve laid out the short story beats while awaiting food. Next, I need to write it out and make it “feel”. #writing

IF you’ve watched the MCU, heave you even bothered looking up “tesseract”? Or did you already know? #movie #mcu #math

The view at lunch #writing

What are you the harbinger of?

Well, I have the concept of an idea for the C3 short story. Now I just need to flesh it out. #mdc3con #writing
