Anyone have the machine/assembly code for any version of the iPhone/iPad? Hmm? ;) #ios #mac #apple #ipad #failure

Tomorrow: iOS editing Python free-writing food things.

Apparently, the Phils won.

I guess it’s the season for stocking up on candy corn and circus peanuts.

Let’s go straight to this Friday evening. What say you?

“Remember to die on time.” #writing #throwawayline

What’s the best James Bond theme song, not soundtrack? #music #bond

Gah! Editing along and I come across the phrase “garbed in her writing habit”. The subconscious is powerful. #writing #holmes #watson

Anyone remember Sonia Dada? #music

Lunch consumed. Time to get back to editing.

“Come the dawn, the dead rise and enter our world seeking coffee.” #writing #zombie
