The next couple of weeks are going to be busy: — Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity conference and panels — a weekend on Kent Island — get some/all of the kittens to the vet for spay/neutering with associated isolation. — personal errands and stuff

“I want to hang out with people, but people don’t want to hang out with me. I just can’t seem to find my laundry line of life.” #writing #throwawayline

We bemoan what we don’t’ have, but when we get it, we bemoan something else we don’t have. The paradox is that we already have all we need. #life #tao #zen

Reality is when the sample size is equal to the population size. Oh, and the equations are correct. #statistics #reality #probability #life

If you feel you have too many books, go through each one asking: — Does it bring you joy — Does it contain anything you may still learn — Would you want to read it again NOW? If the answer is no, give it away, donate it, or toss it out, otherwise, buy a new book. #books #reading

Experience is more important than icons or words. #life

Remember to run everything by your internal editor. Don’t have one? I know people that can help. #life

“It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.” “What is that in Galactic Supertime?” #writing #throwawayline

“Everything changes, but most wish time was frozen to an instant. Those people are left in a past that never existed.” #writing

Remember when dub-step was a thing?

Person walks up and asks me: “How are you doing?” My answer: “I’m still alive. You don’t look it.”

What food(s) did you hate as a child and now crave? Pumpkin/squash (not pumpkin spice/yam-flavored) #food

Friends are people too. Don’t treat them as commodities. #life #marketing #failure

Looking forward to the Apple event. I’m want the iPadMini, but not optimistic we’ll see it. My iPhone needs replacement after my bike accident. Everything works, but has broken back-glass. My Watch also suffered some deep scratches on its face. I guess I’m not going to get a lot in trade-in. #apple

Are you the main character or the comedy relief sidekick type? Or are you the friend that dies? #character

I’m still trying to decide on my course of action now that NNWM is no longer an option for me. #writing #november

Slowly wrapping my mind around the way XOJO and its syntax works. When I last actually used it was before XCode became big. I remember switching to XCode because the XOJO syntax was wordy. Now, although the syntax is pretty much the same, it’s less painful than Swift. #programming

Hey! Eat some lunch!

Well, I guess it’s time to retire shorts for another year.

Good morning. Have you ever forgotten to put coffee in the coffee maker, wake up put some creamer in the mug and then brew a cup? Yeah, it’s that kind of day. New mug made. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Did you accomplish anything today? Anything interesting you want to share? I’m seriously trying XOJO. It requires going back to a different mindset, but at least I’m not fighting the compiler yet. #programming

Today wasn’t restful enough. I’ll try again tomorrow.

I guess I should start prepping for the C3 panels this weekend. #mdc3con

It’s one of those days. It’s one of those years. That come only a few times.
