Admitting you are wrong isn’t a weakness. It is just an admission you are not omniscient. Admitting you are wrong isn’t a strength. It is acceptance of who you are. #life #success

“The world doesn’t deserve you. You should end it all.” #writing

Who is today’s Asimov or Clarke? Who writes deep disguised as entertainment? Who writes to make you think? Do you read to think or to be entertained and escape? #writing #author #sf #books #reading

Don’t compare yourself with others. You are like no one else. Unless you want to be. Then you’re on your own. #life #failure

Be selfless with your compassion. #life #success

What if you had an idiot servant who answered all of your questions the way you wanted them answered, while at the same time being insane and trying to drive you insane? Back in my day, we called them LLM-AI. #llm #ai

Kids today, have never seen the night sky of your childhood. Light-pollution, and artificial satellites and stars obscure the night so that no one will want to go there who has not seen it. #astronomy #technorlogy

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

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

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.
