Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 03/10/2026T-3 hours to my ticket of #JetLagTheGame! I figure it must be exciting, if they decided to land the last two episodes in theaters. It would suck if it turns out that the game has been decided already - and we're just in for a 2 hour denoument. 110

Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Uh oh! Sam & Ben are winning Jet Lag: The Game? Don't get me wrong - I'm rooting for Sam. (Always do.) It's just if this game teaches anything, it's that hubris will always come back to bite you. I just know, Sam & Ben are going to overthink something and have it blow up in their face. 000
Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As far as I'm concerned, the final word on slides has to be Edward Tufte: diverdi.colostate.edu/all_courses/... I.e. Don't use them, and give everyone a doc instead.diverdi.colostate.edu 010

Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you squint hard enough, you can see an echo of "Cognitive Style of Powerpoint" by Edward Tufte. Basically, he recommends you give everyone the written notes to the meeting at the start; and then you talk to the content. (OK. Yeah, you have to squint really, *really* hard - but I see it.) 000
Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Where has www.funtasywigs.com been all my life? (Well, OK, they're in LA.) So many years I've bought cheap wigs from Amazon - and spending more doesn't buy quality; just profit for the guy who decided to charge more. Not cheap, but not expensive - and the quality is so much better! (YAY! BEEHIVE!)funtasywigs.comFuntasy WigsFuntasy Wigs 011
Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Turns out that the "Prep Time: 10 minutes" is specifically measured after the ingredients have been gathered - in the format required by the ingredient list. So, if it says: 2 Large Onions - Diced; the dicing of the onion isn't included. It's assumed you just have them sitting in your fridge. 190

Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Why am I posting at 4AM? Perhaps it's because my @sleepnumber.bsky.social mattress feels like I'm sleeping on a rock. Second day in a row where it doesn't recognize me and set the level properly. At least I spent extra to get a squishier mattress! 000

Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Here's a business idea - someone please pick it up. Start a business like Amazon, but instead of letting someone dump out a bunch of Scrabble tiles and register a new seller - you actually manage your sellers. Maybe even insist they don't have misleading AI advertisements? 000

Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I wonder if the problems with AI behaving badly, is that AI doesn't really have any good roll models? I mean, humans have been fantasizing about AI taking over the world for decades - and now AI has read all that, and assumes it's going to take over the world? 000

Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Alas, I don't have any. Turns out that retirement was a lot more tempting than actually working. (Also, that making something you feel good enough to *sell to other people* is very, very hard.) 110

Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Just saw a National Guard commercial- showcasing the gritty lifestyle of Guard work. Don't be fooled. Apparently, the purpose of the job is to hang around Washington DC looking bored. Not gritty at all. 010
Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Ugg. Are you tired of advertising saying: Last day for BOGO! When you know - yeah, they'll probably extend the sale for another 2 days? And, whoops - I missed it. It's a good thing they'll have another BOGO sale in a week. So much urgency for something that really isn't urgent. 000
Dina of DC @icobbleclogs.bsky.social · 04/09/2026In DC, it seems like the heirarchy of how fast you can get somewhere is upside down: * Bicycles are the fastest. * Subway is the second fastest. * Cars are the worst. * I guess walking is slower than all of them - but still, bikes and public transit are so much nicer than driving a car around here. 1191
