Well, tomorrow is another weekend day. I’ll attempt to relax.
Strawberry poke cake sounds disgusting. Sashimi seafood and fruit in cake form? Ugh.
Revolution and civil war never bring immediate prosperity and peace. Prosperity only goes to those who deal in death, and peace to those who die at their hands.

Do you prefer simple games, or complex games with lots of bits and bobs to move around and spreadsheets to keep track of things?

Sometimes you have to look beyond what people want you to look at.

Hm. This is the 10th year of the Apple Watch. Time flitters.
Hm. #math.
Would you ever support an inferior product?
In the US, we.get mattress companies popping up this time of year. The ads start flooding in from no-name companies hoping to make a name from people wanting to spend money before the holidays. Most of these involve variations on air mattresses. There is nothing new in mattresses.

So, what’s everyone doing this November now that NaNoWriMo is out?

I need to start gathering a box o’ books for Creatures, Crime and Creativity this coming week.

I’m having a decent day despite the snarkiness.
What keeps you doing the things you don’t want to do?
Time to stop trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong in my XOJO code and actually eat something
Old saying, worth repeating: “Intelligence is a constant in the universe. The population is growing.”
“He looked at me as I pulled a wad of bills out of my pocket. ‘Whoever said money equated to power or that power was something worth having was an idiot. You don’t need money or power to be happy or successful. It’s obvious that the more money you have the more of an idiot you become.’”

In the distant past as in 2025 we have prejudice, division, fear, hate, sponsored wars and greed. What will 2026 bring? What will 2125 bring? More of the same. Why would you expect humans to suddenly see a reason to be different?

Small minds construct high walls to protect themselves from perceived slights and non-existent threats.

I’m in a snarky mood, it seems. More so than the average.
There should be more fonts and fewer emojis, Apple.

@Annie thanks. Interesting.
@ryjo congrats. Cool.
@manton OK, it’s a true cell display. Cool.
remarkable #eink@manton Oh and the subscription is a big minus for extra features that others bundle.
@manton Color displays are always low-fidelity (not resolution) unless they use the new cell technology (which isn’t cheap), and tend to be more power-hungry than b/w. Tack on the front-light and you have an issue. The front-light also adds a layer between the writing surface and the display adding to fuzziness. I note the article is absent of specs and comparisons to other similar devices, and is therefore suspect. ;) Too much fan-boy gushing in the article.
@mandaris Cookie Monster
@odd heh. Good one.
@Mikehendley Cool! You could sell those.
@mandaris Only if there was a lot of soap-opera style melodrama and sex.
@manton SwiftUI (the UI portion) might be, but Swift, at least for me, isn’t.
@JohnPhilpin yup. But it wasn't this hot, I don't think.
@odd good one.
@manton Well, there will probably be something new you'll want in the 18 by then ;)
@Mutedog Me too. That's why I'm going to try it.
@manton iPhone17 rumor has it at 12GB
@il_fritz ;) as opposed to mandatory eating and cooking.
@hawaiiboy always important
@DaveyCraney Glad to help. I always liked the old Vaios. Sony had the best displays for the day.
@help FYI clicking the reply arrow on Mac app just redisplays the conversation. You have to click the "Reply" label to reply.
@odd heh
@odd Weekends doubly so.
