@dmoren I suggested this to our local library as a series to order in 2022, and it was rejected because it wasn’t available through whatever vendor the library has a contract with. I resuggested it this week, and it’s been approved and is on order!

OMG Ford dealership!? Yes, I bought a car from you 9 months ago. Do you really think it's appropriate to send me: 1. A text message wishing me happy birthday. With a link to a video of the salesperson I worked with wishing me a happy birthday. 2. An email from that salesperson, wishing me a […]

Appreciation post. US DHS offices/staff often get a bad rep. We (due to 'reasons' -- no, not oversight/forgetfulness!) realized yesterday evening that we needed a last minute passport application (x3) for a mere-days-away international trip. We called our local Dallas passport office *after […]

I know others have said it, but it bears repeating. I've just found that our local library offers free access to the NYT, Washington Post, Washington Journal. They give you a redemption code which you use to create an account on those services. So cool! So be sure to check out what *your* […]

🍿!! (Biden should now tweet something like “I wanted to cancel Elon’s contracts, but couldn’t make it work. Trump will also find out it’s impossible.” and then watch Trumpy take the bait! 😂)

Callsheet. A must-have TV-watching companion app from @caseyliss. (It’s been promoted to my main homescreen and “Max Supporter” annual sub taken out. Worth every penny. Thanks Casey!)

Is this new? Does Apple allow non-AppleArcade games to change this button to “Play” instead of “Open”, or is this special treatment for their own games? @atpfm @gruber

Couple thoughts on that headline: 1. “reform” is doing some heavy lifting there, in the context of what Elon did. 2. And good! Government “reform” shouldn’t be *easy*. It should be deliberate, thoughtful, ideally bipartisan, and legal (!! sad that that even needs to be said).

Getting ready for bed at 00:45am (yes, I’m a nightowl type) I noticed a light under the door of one of my kids’ rooms. It’s school holidays, so I don’t mind, and went in to say goodnight. Found all 3 of my 12yo triplet girls, mattresses dragged in. Noses buried in novels. Having “an impromptu […]

Interesting article on the infamous "640k ought to be enough for anyone" quote, (likely falsely) attributed to Bill Gates. https://www.computerworld.com/article/1563853/the-640k-quote-won-t-go-away-but-did-gates-really-say-it.html
