YDKF Episode 248: Halloween II It's been 12 years since I last did a show dedicated to Halloween and so I decided that was enough time to revisit the topic. On this episode I'll touch on a few of the topics I covered back on episod...

Serenity and Skeletons Today, I set up flood lights in the front yard to light up our 12-foot skeleton. I did this because it was something I could change. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, c...

I've been on furlough for a month, our house flooded, and Morgan's apartment had a minor fire. So, tonight I set up flood lights to light up our skeleton. www.robohara.com?p=15512

Microsoft: It's 2025. Add tabs to File Explorer.
Engineer: Okay!
Microsoft: Make them like Google Chrome's tabs.
Engineer: I'm on it!
Microsoft: ... except waaaaaaay worse.
Engineer: Uh...
Microsoft: Yeah! Like never make them go where people want and stuff. It'll be awesome!

I think the original is half concept/half action. Legacy leaned too hard into the concept and didn't offer any meaningful connection to the original. Ares leans far into the action/fun part of the original. It has just enough Matrix and Blade Runner concepts updated with current AI tones.

Don't get me wrong -- the original is a classic and Legacy had some deep concepts, but in regards to a fun action flick, Ares beats them both. Legacy is great if you want to debate creationism and so forth and Ares is great if you wanna see light cycles zipping in and out of freeway traffic...

Oh, the original, by far. I thought TRON: Ares was similar to the original with all the boring parts cut out. The original is a classic but it has the pacing of a 70s sci-fi film. Ares has the pacting of a 2020s action flick.

Someone suggested I get a sensor to detect when the hot water heater leaks. I looked it up and they sell ones that will text you and set off an audible alarm for $15. Thank goodness they don't just add that to water heaters because why would anyone ever nee-- oh.

Fortunately I am on furlough which means I won't have to take off work while dealing with our house flooding. Our hot water heater was less than two years old.

I'm planning a #roadtrip while on #furlough and discovered one of the states I was considering made it a felony to sleep on public property or sleep in your car for more than 3 hours. youtu.be/NAMabGd6Wz8 #vanlife

Last week I toured a datacenter inside an old Southwestern Bell/AT&T building. The food court has payphone booths lining the walls. I'd never been inside the building but I spent some time digging around in their dumpsters back in the 90s... #payphone #phreak #2600

Every now and then I misspell a word and then come up with a definition for it. I think "mexmerized" is when you bite into a burrito so wonderful that your eyes start spinning like those old hypnotism special effects.
