Happy Speak Kind Words Saturday. You don’t need an unofficial holiday to speak kind words every day.

The Gathering: Last night, I had two new visitors. I had a fox show up at the deck door. This was later followed by a raccoon. No, no photos. I wonder if the spot my house is built on the Lost Graveyard of woodland creatures. Or maybe, they just like watching me sit and write/program. #feral #cats

Well, it looks like I’m going to eat something.

Greetings. Enjoy the weekend. Relax. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

What stuffed animal best describes you?

Plan for tomorrow: — relax — de-stress — decompress — live — breathe

Are you planning on reading something new this long weekend? What? #reading

“Break the mold. Then put it together. Make it beautiful: Kintsugi 金継ぎ Even a broken person can be made beautiful.” #art #life #writing

Will you be getting a new iPhone 16? A new IPad Mini? #apple

So, are you going to be disappointed with the new Switch2 given that Nintendo seems to be having a fire sale, pushing out everything in its back-catalog? Expectation vs. Reality. Switch vs. WiiU. #nintendo

Where do you go to get away from everything? Why aren’t you there?

What’s the best MMO? I’m not interested in “rumble/last man standing” games. FFXIV doesn’t count, because their install/activation/logon procedure is bizarre. #mmo #game

Do you journal? I mean journal, not bullet journal or what I call “scrapbook-journaling”? #writing #journal

“Toss a feather up. Toss an orange up. Toss a pineapple up Toss a cinder block up. Which huts more coming down? Gravity is just the other wing’s way of making you buy more feathers.” #writing #satire

I guess I should eat some food. As opposed to eating diamonds and rubies.

I should get outside this weekend, before the winter storms come… .~

App developers can’t seem to think outside the 2D box. Most of the VIsionPro and other VR devices are tied to the 2D spatial bias of existing apps and devices. It’s also the easy way…just port. Flame on! #visionpro #Meta #vr #failure

Is Vision Pro going the way of the Pippin? #apple

What if there is one true constant in the universe and it is an aardvark named Louie? #math #reality #writing

Remember when MySpace and Tumblr had potential?

How many books should a series have? At what point do you think, “This is so formulaic that an AI probably wrote this,” or, “The author is in it for the money.” Or, “why am I reading this?” What series have you run into that makes you ask these questions? #books #reading #series

You have to have a sense of humor to stay on this planet. No one else has one.

Code packages are just another form of “We’ve always done it that way.” #programming #package #library #failure
