Last night's nightmare about insects burrowing into my skin and said skin then sloughing off, interrupted my 2 week run of dreams about me waiting at a train station for a train that never arrives. Which was nice....

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

The first rule of Overexplaining Club is you do not talk about Overexplaining Club because this is a secret club and we want it to stay a secret, but if you talk about it then people will know it exists, thus ruining the secrecy.

One of the older guys at the LCS asked about my laces this morning, and if they meant anything special. I told him they were my Ace laces and he looked puzzled. After a quick 5 minute explanation, he smiled and said that was cool and thanked me for telling him. A new Boomer ally.
