Happy Alice in Wonderland Day … for those who celebrate.

Don’t forget that just because you’re lucky doesn’t mean there aren’t those who are more lucky. #life

5-Star for Scavenger Hunt on goodreads “This is a story of a team working together on a dangerous mission in a dystopian environment inhabited by hostile mutants. The extreme dangers continue to compound. It’s an exciting thriller right up to the end.” #books #reading

Why do we live in a world full of sinister evil?

Why is it Monday already?

Good morning. Practice kindness. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Gah! It’s almost 5 here. The day has slip slided away.

Meterage is a cool word few, if any, use.

No, I’m not complaining. Just pointing out the assumptions people either make or fail to. #writing

Assume you sell your book for $10 which for most people is considered expensive. Assume the author spent a year working on the book (optimistic). Calculate the dollars per day. #writing

Why is it when I show a copy of my book to someone they invariable ask, “Are you giving it to me?” They wouldn’t do that if you showed them your car. People undervalue books and writing. #author #writing #books

If Apple Watch will be able to detect whether you have a fever or not, I see this as a big plan to build the infrastructure for detecting and analyzing disease: heart rate/pattern, O2 levels, and temperature are key. Apple still needs BP & glucose. #disease #apple #neuralnet

“Asymptote: the Egyptian god of close, but no cigar.” #writing #throwawayline

“You can have a lifetime of fun but your life is only three years. Or, you can live into your seventies and have money but no knowledge of how to spend it wisely. Choose now. Your birth is imminent.” #writing

Seriously, asking for a phone number at a restaurant/bar for a “points” system is a security issue. #security #failure

Next time you’re at a restaurant/bar and someone offers up their phone number for a rewards system, dial it as they are reciting the number. Tell them you’re from the restaurant/bar and tell them they have won. My mind works in mysterious ways…

Would I want to meet you in a dark alley?

I want to see Apple apply it’s much-vaunted neural engine to squash all email spam. Bayesian has its limits. Oh, and apply it consistently agarose all platforms. The current spam handling is pretty obnoxious. #ai #spam #email @tim_cook

Entropy: I’m sure many know what it is, but few realize how it affects you on a day to day basis. #life #physics

“Just because you can play ping-pong, doesn’t mean you can play tennis.” ancient proverb I just made up

Welcome the new year each and every day you wake up and are conscious. #life

Just ordered a Pico W. Not sure what I’ll do with it. I’m not really a hardware kind of guy, so microcontrollers aren’t my thing, apart from programming.

I’m really torn about going to @bouchercon this year. It may come down to a literal coin-flip. Anyone I know still going? #bouchercon #writing #author #mystery

Who would you kill if you could kill someone insignificant and get away with it? What would you gain? #writing
