So I made a run to the place I take old Mac’s down in Rhode Island today (Unicom in Cranston - he repairs, refurbs and repairs and resells Apple hardware) I open the door and am immediately ambushed by two immensely enthusiastically friendly older cats who are apparently the Guardians Of The Door.

So, now that we’ve watched the most recent Severance episode & reading social media, seems like Seth Milchick has lost a LOOOOOOOT of fans in just a few short minutes of airtime. That was a brutal episode.

Oh look. It looks like President Zelensky in fact HAS said thank you for US support for Ukraine. He thanks the President, Congress and the everyday American people. So…maybe JD Vance needs to STFU.

If your laptop ran on coal, you literally put charcoal briquettes into it to make it run, and smoke came out the back, you’d use it less right? Or if your laptop ran on tap water, but its exhaust was brown & chunky liquid, you’d use it less right? Or if your laptop left acidic stains on the […]

What's with this trend of companies shelving their "points" programs recently? So far, Amazon Coins, Nintendo Gold Points and Marvel Insider Points have announced these changes in the past week. Some type of new legislative rule banning such programs?

In my tradition of only finding hour about things I want to do at the absolute last day, apparently the Brattle in Cambridge has been showing “The Fall” since Friday and today is last showing of the 4K restoration 😱 I’m spontaneous because I have to be, else I’d never do anything. 😂

For any folks who are old enough to remember: When Elon Musk finally keels over and dies(my money is on ketamine overdose)… it’s gonna make the circus that happened after Howard Hughes died look like a puppet show. I hope I’m alive to see it. Preferably really, really soon.

Time for a footnote to this: nearly 40 years of writing my stories on computers has taught me two things: 1. Always have backups. More than you think you need, too (backups can go bad). 2. Always have an exit strategy from a hardware, operating system, or writing software choice: vendors can […]

Mike here has laid out some of the important history that led us to this place, in which self-described "libertarians" who used to claim they believed in freedom, shifted to become authoritarians hell-bent on seizing power and destroying the US from the inside. I may have more to say on this soon.
