Autumn sky.
It's autumn. The sky has a silvery look to it, cloud cover with sunny blue skies peeking through. A crusty old man looks down at the camera.

Scrolling through an article, asking for it to get to the point. There was no point.

The intro song to "Conan the Destroyer" came up on Spotify DJ. I hadn't heard it in half a decade or so. I subjected my kids to listen to it while driving them and their friend home from dance class. Remember when Charlie Sheen kept saying "Winning?" It felt like that.

I was late to Twitter-like discourse, and remain willfully ignorant of the following concepts: - when to use the reply button to reply and when to make a quote tweet to reply - "subtweet?" Is there a button for that? - what is a "ratioed?" - why limit text length but allow huge images with more te

Stock image of a woman sipping a beverage from a mug, with a face that clearly reads her anticipation of an easy-flowing, delightful, possibly pleasurable evacuation. The caption advertises: "The Best After-Breakfast Drink to Poop Easier." Her greenish background has three randomly placed red circles, symbolizing the immediatw visceral effect of imbibing the magical beverage.

Friday mood
Grace Jones choking Arnold Schwarzenegger in CONAN THE DESTROYER (1984).  They both have rather silly expressions on their faces.

I finished Book 3 at the airport, so I could move on to Book 4. I hid the book on a pop vending machine, to reduce backpack space. I am hoping to stealthily retrieve it on my way home.

I think every major company is looking at open weight AI models and realizing they can just bring them in house with an internal engineering team and cut out the frontier model companies to save money. They have more control and privacy. I really don't see frontier labs surviving this.

I am spending more time refurbishing these old computers than their monetary worth. They are technically usable... more so with a lightweight Linux distro... I don't want to just garbage them... funny that when I was young, I would rescue and restore garbaged computers from the University.

Wow. Frankfurt airport really wanted us to miss our connection. Luckily my wife has the "Voice of the Emperor" perk and got us through the line, much to the chagrin of principled line waiters (normally me). So many layers of passport control.

Brainstorm for an art project: redub the best quotes and moments of Babylon 5 featuring Londo Mollari, and repkace his voice with my terrible Arnold S accent. I suppose G'Kar could be replaced with my Walken.

During my vacation I have starting working on a web-based slideshow program to display at our band's show next week. It will feature weird videos on loop and cycling images and distortions based on input sound. This gives me an excuse to learn Web Components and the Sound API. MIDI control too?

I remember watching part of this film in Grade 6. It was the last day of school, and we never completed it. I always wondered what it was called and how it finished. Still wondering how it ends.

I remember my first experience with an interface for connecting a computer to a wireless network. You had to type in the key, but it was treated like a password so you couldn't see what you were typing. This interface demanded you enter it perfectly, twice, with no way to see the characters. Why?

I remember being young, thinking how neat it would be if the things I liked were turned into movies or TV series. I would imagine how it couls go... but I was wrong. Now that I am a crusty old man, I feel it is best to just go through them again and enjoy the ride... or take a nap. Naps are great.
