iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

After having recently watched The Founder (2016), the contrast is quite stark.

I've been to McDonald's twice recently -- the one by Jonnie Brock's. Like so many fast food places, it's barely holding it together - they'll get you a burger but don't buy a drink unless you've first verified that there's ice and syrup in the machine, because they're not fixing it for you.

It's so trivial to carry a ladder on my 8 foot long Bikes at Work trailer, I didn't realized anyone would be impressed.

Same with text messages and phone for me. The only way people can reach me these days is Signal or Discord. The only way politicians or companies can reach me is: postal mail and then wait 3-9 months for me to open it. Good luck with that.

Nice to see my old stomping ground! What's with Yellow crossing zebra stripes? How many colors do we need for crosswalks?

The Tet Offensive at the height of the Vietnam War killed Americans at under half the rate that Americans kill Americans with their cars today. American drivers are at war with America, and we don't even react.

I currently don't trust self-driving cars. I'll never trust human drivers.

How efficient are these types of batteries? 90%? How likely are they to catch fire?

Maybe one of the 25 long distance calls I've gotten today was one of them, but there are so many Democratic robocalls I can't answer my phone for unknown out of state numbers.

I love the idea of them. Sadly the ones I could find weren't really geared for a broad shouldered guy who rides a road bike. I think they were designed for a woman on a dutch bike geometry. Never have I felt so awkwardly wrapped. Very claustrophobic. I gave mine away to its target audience.

I have no idea why St Louis metrobus is so cheap at the farebox. It's not like the state of Missouri supports transit. I guess the subsidy's such a huge slice of the fare, that they figure farebox should be as small as possible without attracting political attention.

Wind is a fucking problem. Otherwise it's great. Much cooler than a raincoat.

My newly poor and newly car-free friend pushed back on my suggestion to think about riding the bus, instead blowing hundreds of dollars on Uber he could not afford. EVENTUALLY he learned to ride the $1 fare bus with 20 minute headways going right by his apartment. That's fantastic for Missouri!

They've been on a mission to keep people from accessing health care for years. They've been going to committee meetings and cheerleading for stuff like Amendment 3.

Need to schedule a routine medical appointment. Log in to my Doctor's site and send them a message. A few hours later they send me a message to expect something from SSM. I get an email from SSM asking them to log into their secure site. I do. It requires another email for 2 factor authentication.

It's the next window for accountability. Unless you think the Republican officials who benefited from his behavior are likely to hold him accountable before then.

Late 90s nostalgia: Newscasters trying the tongue twister "visit us in cyberspace at" ... then spelling out h-t-t-p-colon-"backslash"-w-w-w-dot-... It's a forward slash and all of it should all be skipped but they had no idea what they were doing. Just mimicry without understanding.

Yeah. My take-away is we won't be able to _tax_ gas into obsolescence, but someone, somewhere, will air-raid gasoline into obsolescence. Hydrocarbon infrastructure seems to be indefensible to drones. The barriers to entry to a drone force are small.

Navigating a Wells Fargo or Merrill Lynch voicemail maze though... That really is a job for a machine.

My dad grew up dirt poor. Paper route was his first job. He was very young. His grandchildren are older than he was then, and they're not allowed the autonomy to travel alone - that's what allowed him to do the job.
