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

…as should writing. #writing

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

The smaller the space, the bigger the ideas appear. #life

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

Picked up Speck. He’s wrapped in The Cone of Discomfort. #feral #cat

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.

Who is your new best friend?

Gorgeous day. I had lunch by the water. Got some questions about my books. Time to relax.

When in doubt, eat a bucket of ice cream.

Oatmeal chocolate chip raisin cookies out of the oven. Made with my chocolate oatmeal raisin stout. Not pretty, but really taste good. Not very sweet but the stout and chocolate come out. #baking #beer

The sun came out and it’s warming up. Maybe today is a good day to eat outside.

Time to wake up. youtu.be/etB4RWEtm… #music
