Marquee of the Beacon Theater in New York City announcing tonight’s sold out Patti Smith show

Patti Smith at the Beacon in New York

Ah, but how many are you <not> seeing?!?

@kbspangler.com That’s probably late ‘70s or early ‘80s. He led the Guardian Angels, sort of a vigilante group that “patrolled” mostly the subways in NYC. Not violent, just mostly observing. Kind of like graffiti artists—most liked them, some hated them (i.e., cops and mayors LOL).

"the sandwich "exploded all over" his chest and claimed he could smell mustard and onions. But a photo showed that the sandwich was still in its wrapper on the ground after it hit Lairmore in his bulletproof vest."

"The jury -- which feasted on sandwiches for lunch Thursday, according to a person familiar with jury lunches -- deliberated the charges for several hours Wednesday and Thursday before delivering the verdict."

A Sonicware ELZ_1 Play v2 on a desk, with a Waldorf Blofeld hovering above.

The Sonicware ELZ_1 Play v2 has arrived. Only had time to audition a few presets so far but it sounds amazing. Can't wait to dive in and start patching.

Deep-pile tapestries? Would totally work, other than the steel frame and reinforced floors you’d need to build for them as they’d weigh tons. Alas.

Ugh. I was a QuarkXPress guy, so I guess we have to be enemies now. Darn.

Just to mess with folks, how about an empty closet or dresser drawer? It’s both earthbound <and> space LOL

This was astounding: Building a beehive simulator desk

Kiziks! Actual shoes I wear all day, but slip-on. Comfy, and this particular style is waterproof.Oops, forgot the photo

I use an app called Drafts for tons of different things. For novel writing types of things I have Scrivener. Not that I write novels, but still.

Wanted to go to Olney Illinois for years because they’re supposed to have white squirrels there the way most places have gray ones. We have black ones here in NYC but I’ve never seen a white one.

Apparently a now fully functioning Waldorf Iridium Desktop synthesizer with headphones attached as well as a CME Xkey Air 25 keyboard (via USB) along with a neon light sculpture next to it.

Well, my Waldorf Iridium Desktop has been dead for a while, but after emailing with tech support and installing a not-quite-released OS it has come back to life! No crashes in the past hour+ and I've made three new patches.

I’m a New Yorker, where our forced-to-resign disgraced former governor is now running for Mayor of NYC (!). But reading the Wikipedia article on what the Ed Stone was has nearly caused me an injury as my eyebrows kept rising at each sentence until they practically popped off the top of my head LOL

He was once on the cover of Keyboard Magazine with his (I think) Synclavier system. (Back in the day, of course.)

New Yorker in London a year or two ago and for almost all my travel took the buses. In the tube I was kind of just, well, on the subway. But on the buses I was <in> London, all over the city, everywhere. Completely different!

Maybe Stepic? I keep almost buying it LOL

As one of the people who used to be on Twitter with you, well, let’s just say I already happen to have inflicted a plushie-to-the-post-office-trip upon you LOL

…adverbs gustily whipping… LOL

I’ve been a Mac user for forever, but I also did tons of Mac and Windows IT. For me, Macs just make sense and seem easy where Windows seems, well, odd. But millions of folks see it the other way! Neither is really inherently better than the other though, despite how people tend to argue about it.

Outside view of the side of the Sky Bar factory/store.

Some Sky Bars in a tabletop display box

Went there about four years ago, was great fun. Not a huge place but all sorts of home things, and candy. And the small factory attached.

I really like his “six-panel” here’s-how-this-evolved threads

Black sand beach on the east coast of Iceland, late November, in the grey-clouded cold. There’s a large monolithic rock tower just off the beach in the water on the left, and on the right there are numerous small runoff waterfalls flowing down from a small cliff separating the land from the beach. The largest of these is in the foreground, and the runoff has almost but not quite made it to the ocean. The beach, cliff, and ocean go off miles into the distance eventually fading into the distant fog. There’s not a human in sight, just mossy highland, short cliff, narrow black sand beach, monolith, ocean, and fog. For endless miles.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.

When I was in high school in the mid-1970s we had what would’ve been a 4" screen CRT in physics class. Made out of uncovered clear glass, no phosphors! We were told it glowed blue and could project shadows with the beam. Alas they were no longer allowed to turn it on any more. Bummer LOL

And that’s not even taking into account all the static cling LOL

Screenshot of the online shopping cart of my local bookstore, Astoria Bookshop in NYC, with a pre-order of SideQuested in it, only to find I’d already pre-ordered it a couple of months ago LOL

So, immediately went to my local bookshop’s website to put in my pre-order and found that, uh, well… LOL

The Light Brigade - Fight The Future magnet on my fridge, right under the Frigidaire emblem. Round and slightly smaller than palm-sized. Also, three magnetic control knobs (obviously required to operate the fridge LOL).

Still have this up on my fridge, along with several control knobs
