Cat food. It just looked good and supervision was lacking.

I might be entering a fountain pen stage, so there’s all my money and productivity shot to hell.

Is it reasonable to expect a teriyaki rice plate to come with teriyaki sauce?

Golly, mistakes and shenanigans aside, the Anthropic settlement is a massive cash influx for publishers.

Already decoupled from Google Search and Chrome, and now from Google Maps. Decoupling from Gmail is on the to-do list. Youtube will be harder, but I'll get there eventually.

Revised the first 20k words and the book hasn't gone off the rails yet, but the next section takes place on an actual train so I guess we'll see.

Just saw The Fast and the Furious 25th anniversary re-release in a big room on a big screen with good sound. Damn, I love that movie:

Saw a guy with a really nice Martin guitar in the park. Couldn't tell if it was a 000-28 or an OM-28. The only difference is scale length, or the distance between the nut and saddle. Difficult to judge by eye. Didn't want to bug him and ask. I am evolving.

Gonna put this here and proceed to ignore all the angry/you’re just jealous/she’s a hero/you’re a misogynist/kill yourself comments her rabid fans will drop, like always.

With all this talk of whether AI is good for students (it isn't), now's a good time to reveal the cover for my Choose Your Own Adventure, QUANTUM CREEP, illustrated by Elena Dall'Aglio! You'll get to experience some of the other potential drawbacks of using AI, like losing your mind (literally).

Thanks to everyone who spread the word about my available world con pass. The thing I was missing world con for got moved back a week, so I'm going to come up for Saturday. Hope to see a bunch of you there!

Still selling my World Con attending membership for $100. Purchaser would have to buy the WSFS membership from World Con for $50. So that’s $150 total vs. the $275 if you bought both from World Con.

Sometimes assembling flatpack furniture makes me wish I’d taken up carpentry because then I’d only be angry at myself when the stupid holes don’t line up. Plus I’d have an excuse to collect wood.

We obtained Amelia Beelzebub twelve years ago today.

What's your everyday pen? I'm liking Uniball Zento Flow rollerballs for about $12.

Not a doctor, but when I got the pneumonia vax the nurse said she'd heard there was a chip in it with the number of the Beast and it would replace money, and that she was biblical so believed it. And then she gave me the shot anyway.

Wikipedia remains one of the most useful things online. No subscription fees, no ads, no stupid pursuit of AI, all curated by relentless nerds. Maybe remember to throw them a few bucks every now and again.

They're going to ask me how I want my haircut and as usual my only answer will be "not like this." Taking suggestions for the next 10-15 minutes.
