Back in my day, we had a kid’s toy/kit that consisted of plastic girders and panels, from which you could build buildings. Creativity in a box. #toy #creativity

“He trudged through the rain, soaked to the skin. A dog yapped as he passed a yard. He snarled back, then climbed the steps to his house, and sat staring at the closed door. He shivered, then ate the bowl of rain-dogged cat food.” #writing #flashfiction

“Bard. That’s what he claimed to be. Most people thought that meant singing poetry, but they didn’t realize he was from the South.” If you get it, you get +1 to Humor. #writing

“The older you get, the more it seems life is going the wrong way. Usually, that’s because it’s heading forward while you’re going down.” #writing

“I realize that life is annoying because it’s not what I want it to be. I also realize, that’s a personal problem, and I can change things.” #writing #character

“The world doesn’t rotate around you. It rotates around no one, unless you happen to be in the core.” #writing #throwawayline

Macbook Neo: I’m also using iCloud to store/sync my Documents folder across my Macs. That offloads a TON of storage on the physical devices and isn’t as slow as I feared it might be. . #macbookneo #apple

My MacBook Neo update after using it for a longer period. It’s cute. It does pretty much everything my MacBookAir does, but a bit slower. Even XCode runs just as well (which isn’t saying much given how sloggy XCode is.) It’s a perfect travel/knockabout Mac. #macbookneo #apple

“It’s good to keep things from AI. You had got work for your knowledge. So should they.” #writing #throwawayline

Not a productive day, mostly due to having to pull tax info together.

Happy Cuddly Kitten Day Yes, it’s a thing. Here’s a pic of one of The Gathering, Mote.

Good morning. Another day, another Monday. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

What if GPS satellites could target specific vehicles to feed them incorrect information wile controlling traffic lights? #writing #prompt

PSA: I see many recipes that tell you to add sugar to cut the acidity of tomatoes. All adding sugar does is make sweet acid. If you want to cut acitdity add a bit of baking powder/soda. It will froth up a bir, but that tells you it’s working. #food #cooking

“The secret to a successful cult is marketing and popular opinion.” #writing

“When having a cult is not enough.” #writing #throwawayline

The entire concept of a “war crime” is hilariously sad. War itself is a crime against humanity and any other beings that wage or have it waged against them. #life #failure #war

“He was wise in the ways of the world. Unfortunately, he didn’t live in this one.” #writing #character

Every belief is true to you. Not every truth is a belief. #life

I wonder what the next real technology will be. I grew up when an LED was amazing and new, lasers and holograms were new and disappointing quality at the same time (and still are). Computers were new and cool and were run by cults in white. Computer apps are just as slow. #tech #progress

Analog writing allows you to slow down, think, imagine, and create. Of course, not everyone cares for those things. #writing

Find three things to smile at/about each day. #life

You don’t have to be part of a conspiracy to be evil. And conversely, you don’t have to be evil to have a conspiracy. #writing #life #character
