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

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

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

What have you stumbled upon lately?

Tomorrow is Monday, but it’s a holiday here. It’s worth goofing off a bit.

Time to switch it up. Onishi Seisakusho Summer Creek (M) w/ Private Reserve DC Supershow Blue #fountainpen

Have a fun and relaxing rest of the day.

If not yet, when? If you don’t know when, then now. #life

Someone has yet to justify the existence of “government”, other than to consolidate power in order to control or to attack a population.

I wonder if corporate endorsements would make programming more lucrative and programmers celebrities… You know, uniforms full of patches, video advertisements, guest appearances on morning “news” shows. Getting to massacre the national anthem… That sort of thing. #celebrity #programming

TIL: Taco Bell, in the US, isn’t named after a bell, or even a “belle”. It’s not even Mexican/Latin in origin. #food

What book made you cry? That is, if you cry. #books #reading
