I think I’ll read and play a game or two now.

“Laughter is the best medicine, but you can’t afford to buy it nowadays.” #writing #throwawayline

I know that the US and Mexico have soap operas. Do any other countries have a daily melodrama series? #tv

Soon, we will have apps to tell us that we have an upset stomach. #ai #life #stupidity

Urgency does not equate to importance. #life

PSA: Remember that security exists to save the company/organization money, not to protect your privacy. That’s just marketing. #security #privacy

Sigh. What is is with developers/security types? I’m seeing more and more websites ask for a passkey/Face ID and then ask for a text-code sent to your phone/email? I get people are paranoid, but when does it end? Security also follows the single source of truth paradigm #security #failure #web

On this Labor Day, I think I’ll have a Caesarian salad and chili for lunch. #food

“The lies people pay to spread every four years…”

Just so you know, the opposite of HyperCard was a failed project named PlacidCard. >cough< #apple #hypercard

What super power are you hiding from your friends and family? Is it that you’re writing your first book, sneaking off to learn to dance, or that you are a TikTok celebrity? What?

I love (not) websites that advertise: “Be the first to know.” This plays to everyone feeling that they are somehow special. Of course, you won’t be the first to know. You’ll be among, potentially, hundreds or thousands to find out. But you believe you’re special, so you sign up. #marketing #failure

“Appreciate your friends because they put up with you.” #writing

How many projects have you started only to abandon them? #life #productivity #project #failure

If you look back on the past and think how great it was, just remember how bad/difficult/confusing/frustrating it was when you were living it. Enjoy what you are living now. You don’t have to look back on this moment to see how great it is. #life

Your fears are caused by you. #life

I’m waiting for the new iPad Mini and the new SuperNote A5X2. I’m not in the market for a new Mac.

It’s a quiet, do nothing day. Nothing in the sense, I’m doing the usual stuff. #laborday

What fun things are you doing today if you’re on holiday?

Stuff I find in the garage. #game #dos

I miss good sf conventions ‘79 was Joan D Vinge and Karl Kofoed (artist) “80 was Larry Niven and Vincent Di Fate (artist) “81 was Joe Haldeman and Darrell Sweet (artist) “82 was CJCherryh and Carl Lundgren(artist) #sfcon

Happy Bison-tell Yell Day Yes, it’s a thing.

Hello. Don’t be confused. It’s just a holiday. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

How will you survive the end of the world?

Thinking never changed anything. Executing what you think does. #life
