Happy International Coffee Day

Good morning, all. Find some calm inside yourself. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

“I’m not going to kiss you until I know your backstory.” #writing #throwwayline

“He was drunk on her beauty, bewitched by her guile, mesmerized by her money. That’s how zombies are born.” #writing #throwawayline

Happy International Thunderbirds Day Thunderbirds are go! (Or gone?)

Time to switch gears. It’s time to read. It’s time to play.

It’s easier to set fire to your stomach than your heart. — ancient proverb I just made up

‘Back in my day, we had to memorize and know things. Now, you just search it.” “There’s more stuff now.” “But we knew stuff.” #writing #throwawayline

“Sometimes, you have to do the right thing.” “Actually, you have to do it all the time.” #writing #life

“I have a business proposition. We’ll give you a bag of money. You let us put the dead bodies of our customers on your sport field.” “What?” “Ok. No? How about we just put our name on your sport field, and give you a bag of money?” “Uh, that sounds better. Let’s do it!” #writing #throwawayline

“‘But remember, the true worth of a man is in his ability not to judge, jury, or execute while acknowledging the differences.’ The rabbit crackled in the smoky fire.’Doing otherwise, you can end up dead. That doesn’t mean you won’t be killed by a stray stone.’” #writing

“‘Bring juxtaposition into your life. Without it there is no life, only existence.’ He held the rabbit aloft. ‘Without death, there is no life. Contrast is how we judge, jury, and execute.’” #writing

“‘We all strive to do the best we can.’ Kane tossed a stone into the trees. ‘Except the lazy. They strive to do the least they can at others’ expense.’ A rabbit squealed in pain.” #writing

“Danger is just what we fear will hurt or kill us. There is no danger if there is no fear.” #writing

I’m a bit surprised that Apple hasn’t done more with eye-tracking tech. Well, yes, they have Vision Pro, but they haven’t pushed it down to the other devices. Obviously, accessibility would benefit, but I see other uses. #apple

Look around you. See the people? Are they strangers or friends? Be grateful and thank them anyway. You are lucky to be there. If there is no one, be thankful for the silence. #life #success

What phrases, current or past, annoy you? For me, they are: “That’s what I’m talkin’ about.” “It is what it is.” “Proactive”.

“No on has the right to tell you that you are a failure—except you. And then, question the source.” #writing

When your rice is krispy, And your sugar pops, You live in a world of fantasy And marketing traps.

I want Apple to produce a writeable version of the Boox Palma eInk reader. They would do a bang-up job of it. But, seeing the Palma is an eReader only, and given the price, I’m out. shop.boox.com/products/… #eink #apple #boox
