Hello. Be steady. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Back in my day we had “instant-on” Macs (a selling point against Windows that had a startup progress bar.) Now, Macs are just as slow to boot. I bet it’s all the AI stuff loading and priming… someone should do a study. #macos #apple #failure

Seriously, Apple, unicode. We don’t need/want more emoji. We want better functionality. #apple #unicode #failure

The Gathering: The litter that was born inside is one year old today. All six of them are fine and pretty big. They are a fun bunch except when being fed. Mote, the mom, is smart. She visits once in a while and ignores them, otherwise. #feral #cat

You don’t need media to be social. #life

Easy hack: If you want to “sign with a team”, just sign a pi ece of paper when someone else signs on the team. Then you can go around telling people you have signed with the team. .~ #sport

I’d like a Picotron that uses Python. #lexaloffle #gamedev #python

I’m extremely lucky. I grew up in a time when art and science were taught in schools. I learned how to measure the speed of sound and light (via experiments) and that I used to have some artistic ability before I developed aphantasia. #art #science

Do what you must, but harm no one in the process of doing. #life

Two steps forward, seven steps back, today.

Time to switch it up. A cool pen I got at the show. Monteverde Axis (B) with Organic Studio Ralph Waldo Emerson. The pen caps and posts magnetically. Pretty comfortable to hold, surprisingly. #fountainpen

Apparently, feeding a baby a stick of butter before it goes to sleep is a thing? Fat. Cholesterol. Heart attacks. High blood pressure. You’re setting your children up for death. We live in a world fixated on death and killing. Flame on! #life #failure

Happy Panic Day

“If you don’t stand up for what you believe in, or only when it’s convenient, you really don’t believe it.” #life

Good morning. The weekend is kaput. Time to get back into the rut. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Almost time to head out for lunch. I bought a few things. #fountainpen

“There is no such thing as a dumb animal. It takes a human with an unused brain to be truly dumb.” #writing

Happy Be Nasty Day Yes, it’s a thing and anyone responding to this being or pretending to be nasty thinking it’s funny will be muted/blocked.

Just because you don’t know or don’t understand something doesn’t make it bad or untrue. Also, don’t believe all the people who claim trhey do. #life

It’s the last day for the pen show. Time to waste—err, spend money. Then lunch with a friend.

Good morning. Grumble. Clocks reset. Grumble not enough sleep. Grumble. Grumble. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I should bake something this weekend.

Remeber when the world was saner?

I got two of my pens fixed (sac replacement). I usually do it myself, but I didn’t have the sacs handy. Will have to reorder. Anyway, back to functional. #fountainpen
