If you come close to Kirkland WA feel free to come by my place for cafecito and vegan treats.

Jesus you can get a 98" TV for $1700 now why can't they do this for healthcare.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Just heard about Fauja Singh passing away. What an inspiration he was, I will run a 5k on Friday to celebrate his life.

Damon Albarn conceding that Oasis is better than Blur just makes me double down on my opinion that Blur is (and has always been) better than Oasis.

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar

2025: ohhh ok

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

I would love to see a 50-state campaign to pass free school lunch and anti-gun measures in tribute.

If macOS 2026 really drops support for iMac Pro, maybe that means Apple will release its successor in 2026 and is giving us an "incentive" to move over to the new device. I love that machine, but yeah, I'd be down for an M5 Ultra 32-inch iMac Pro next year...

Chatting with my wife about twirling, I suddenly understood gravity. I will need to write this down, but I hypothesized that a frozen (0k) object that doesn’t rotate but has the mass of Jupiter might not really have gravity. G waves may come from object rotation, not just mass.

Totally carbiding my nano listening to the new Sleep Token album

I often buy music from the iTunes store. Does anyone know why Apple Music lets me burn it to a CD when I download as AAC, but not when I download as ALAC? It would be great to burn lossless music to a CD for me to listen on my stereo.

I built one using your guide after seeing your video. You’re inspiring.

Frosted Flakes with banana for dessert is self care.

Got my own media server set up at home, feels super neat to stream your own content within your home network.

Most times, talking about roles and responsibilities when teamwork is hard is the wrong move.

When you’re outcome-driven, people can set aside their egos and collaborate. When it’s turf-driven, the best ideas can’t surface because people have to stay in their lanes.

Trying to imagine pitching this movie 50 years ago:
“So this guy from apartheid goes to America and cons his way to collecting half a trillion dollars and buys a President with it. Then he starts to order Congress around from his computer which is actually a portable telephone.”

I know not what hardware Windows 12 will run on, but Windows 13 will run on sticks and stones

It's hard to explain but when you're a millennial and you hear Phoenix you heal 10 hp

arrested at a mcdonald’s? for what? what is his crime? enjoying a meal? a succulent meal?

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, today the brave minimum-wage worker at McDonald’s who led police to the man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson said they can’t wait to spend their entire $60,000 bounty on a single night at the hospital.

Anyone near Carmel Hamlet
New York (Zip 10512) looking for an iMac G3 (slot load model) model?

Someone reached out to me looking to find a home for it so it doesn't get scraped... but I'm not close by and I have enough iMac G3s. 😅

I'm thinking I should start publishing more of the content I write. I usually do a yearly retrospective writeup, and I also document the highlights and lowlights in tech for the year but keep it to myself. I'll take the time this year to publish it.

If you're thinking of buying a new PC because of Windows 11's requirements, and you've written off Linux-on-the-desktop because of past experiences, it may be worth it for you to try it again before you buy a new device.

Desktop Linux has come a long way in a short while.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.
