“Ideas are best when they are fully-baked.”

I would love to create an anthology called: “Main Squeezes: High Pulp”. #writing #publishing #anthology

“Sometimes, you look at a young person and you just know what they’re going to look like when they are older. Now, all I see is their death. That’s why I never got married.” #writing #character

What actors do you wish had stuck around longer to create more works? Here’s my list: — Leslie Nielsen — Patrick McGoohan Why? Both are versatile. More versatile than some may realize.

Do you have a passion project? Not a side-project. Everyone has one, or more, of those. I’m not sure I have one that qualifies. Most of my projects feel like they are until I realize they are just like all of my other projects. #projects #fun

“I didn’t know what I was doing when I was doing it, but I got it done.” #writing

I miss computers with switches and blinky lights. Back in the day, i booted systems from switches and reels of mag tape. At least you knew they were doing something while they were doing it. Now, we hav progress bars that estimate time on some other planet. #computing #programming

When you write longhand, you write slower than typing. Because it takes longer, you spend more time with what you’re writing. When you spend more time with what you’re writing, you remember and learn more. Typing shortcuts memory by shortcutting time. #writing #education #learning

Good morning, all. It’s Tuesday. You’ve got this! Now give it back. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

The Gathering it’s been an eventful morning already. Last night, Speck showed up with an injured leg/paw. I took him in to the vet this morning. Probably a puncture wound.. Speck is staying to get spayed. Should be out later. I guess he’s going to stay indoors for a month. #feral #cat #kitten

I declare tomorrow to be Second Saturday. Feel free to enjoy the weekend.

Just because a person or software provides an answer doesn’t mean it’s correct. Don’t accept an answer at face value just because you got an answer. #life #success

Dinner: pita chips and hummus.

Too bad tomorrow is Monday. You know what that means, right?

Today wasn’t a productive day, but I did get to eat lunch outside. That was a win.

The first Unix port was in Boston harbor.

Deep voice: “He was a master chef accused of murder when he killed a cop gone bad. Now, he roams from city to city, his chef knife the only thing that stands between himself and those who would see him behind bars.” Picture Stephen J. Cannell tossing a sheet paper from his typewriter.
