and right when people were making algorithmic bias/inequality more visible, many of those processes were **mysteriously** relabeled "AI" and that whole conversation got erased...

This, but for drawing your own slides for talks. Here is a series of images of my slides over the years. Starting in 2017 and continuing until my most recent. Just get started. You'll get better as you go, even if you only build talks once or twice a year.

One of the best things I ever decided to do on this site was automatically block any account that follows me which is following over 10k accounts. Y'all ain't real, or you're follow-farming.

Every piece of technology that you actually enjoy using was built using some form of public digital infrastructure and digital standards. The early web? DARPA. Mapping apps? GPS and USGS shapefiles. Streaming music and video? The MPEG standards group. Fight for public digital infrastructure.

Make today the day you rediscover the movie Clue, an absolutely terrible film that is elevated into the stratosphere by multiple high-energy performances, not the least of which being Tim Curry's.

Things To Do With Potatoes Throw a potato on the ground behind a stranger, then say "Excuse me, you've dropped your potato!". If they deny ownership, pull another potato from your pocket, saying "Well it's definitely not my one". Hide a potato in a pair of shoes at a bowling alley.

For reasons too complicated to explain, today I was watching a Price is Right episode from September 1984 off the Internet Archive. This is Pauline, one of the first four contestants, with her custom-made shirt. A bold choice, but... I respect it.
A woman at one of the The Price is Right podiums, wearing a teal sleeveless t-shirt with stenciled lettering that reads "Bob Barker's Private Duty Nurse".

"Stay home if you're sick." Oy. My worst GenCon was 2019. Started feeling exhausted on the drive in. Napped in the back of the car. Got to the hotel, passed out, woke up with a sore throat, went to the urgent care and it was strep. I spent an entire GenCon in my hotel room eating room service.

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. It must be like the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation.

When life closes a door, it opens a window. And if the fall is too steep, use the fire exit. Run to the roof -- you always have that airship on the dock. The most important thing is to keep moving. Keep dreaming.

A screenshot of a visual data workflow tool. The start and end blocks are named "༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ" - a kaomoji for "summoning". The middle block is named "Summon the Pain".

The data workflow tool is Matillion, if you were curious.
