Greetings. The green of the trees now has a cast of gray after the cooldown of the past few days. Winter is coming. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — edit — spend time outside — find some seafood to eat — relax, destress, enjoy being alive

Another piece of art I got at a SF con decades ago. This one is signed Dougherty, but I have no other clue. #sf #art

Hello. Stay the course. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I keep thinking that today is Saturday. I’ll be totally confused tomorrow.

Neat. There’s a murdle.com site. Too bad no API. #puzzle

Don’t overthink the obvious.

Listening to W1AW. I’m out of practice.

Squirrels are underrated.

I need a cover artist. I don’t want AI art. I, preferably, don’t want digital art. I want art borne of sweat and talent. Michael Whelan has retired. #book #cover #art

Tomorrow will be a day of editing. So I have declared it.

I’m really hoping Apple dumps Swift. It’s too compiler-centric now. It’s not developer or user-friendly. Yes, I know it’s never going to happen in my lifetime. Flame on! #programming #apple #swift

FWIW: I was at the Apple Store in Christiana Mall, DE and they told me that they sold the most VisionPros of all the stores on the US East Coast. I guess tax-free pays off. #apple #visionpro

In the US (at least the East Coast) you can get strawberry, chocolate, and sometimes if you’re lucky, banana-flavored milk. Why not other flavors? Raspberry, blueberry, mango? #food #marketing #failure

What is the most important question that always needs to be asked? #life #success

Don’t be stingy with your knowledge, kindness, help, or cheese.

OOP is about messaging, it’s not aboit objects Objects are just easier to understand stand and describe. #oop #programming

Observed: a lone person talking really loudly across the restaurant. Back in my day, that was the definition of insanity. Now, it’s not even rude when you talk through your EarPods #life #failure

Cherish your family, if you can. Cherish your friends more, if you have any.

Smile because you can. Not because you have to. #life #success
