This bowling ball does not seem to be in great shape; seems like they could have at least given him a new one.

For all of its faults, one magical thing about the broadcast era was stumbling onto a show in the middle of its run, picking up odd reruns in syndication, and never being sure you’d seen it all: the rest of the show was constantly a hazy, unknown territory, often making it seem bigger than it was.

This is basically the dialog from the base star Cylons in the Battlestar Galactica reboot. All it needs is, “End of Line”

It’s about this thing, not that other, totally unrelated thing that no one was talking about and that no reasonable person would have considered in this context.

Remember that time when Microsoft introduced the first Surface tablet and spent like five minutes of their intro event bragging about how they’d engineered the clicky sound of the kickstand?

Didn’t they do a Starfleet Academy episode about this

@holman.bsky.social long shot: do you know if there are any extant video copies of your old talk, "How GitHub Uses GitHub to Build GitHub"? It came up in a recent conversation, and I could only find the slides.

If body wants food, why does it tell brain “ew, food”? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fine. I’ll do the age verification meme. I manually reconfigured dip switches to fix IRQ conflicts between the add-on cards in my Gateway 2000 PC in order to resolve freezes in my video games.

Had a dream that they added a “grudge” badge as an alternative to “follows you” on profile pages, and I crushed to discover folks I’d never interacted with holding grudges against me. 😭

Do you ever spend a couple of weeks trying to figure out how to run a formally specified system in your head, only to realize that nothing short of a general purpose computer can run it?

Have you ever been nerd sniped so hard that your health suffered for it?

I may have made a terrible mistake: I got so absorbed/obsessed by what I was doing that I neglected to eat until two hours past my normal lunch. I am now heating up food, and it is an agonizing wait now that I am aware of my body again.

Have you ever thought about how if you always wait to open a box of cereal until you’ve finished the last one, then you’re eating serialized cereal?

This morning, I saw a bag of marshmallows labeled “jet puffed”, and I started reflecting on how many marshmallow brands feel the need to comment on puffiness (even fictional brands, like Stay Puffed in Ghostbusters) 1/

Have you ever had a film that you were sort of afraid to watch because of what it might mean if you didn’t “get it”?

Someone really ought to create a CDN that’s just called “banana” Think about it: “banana for scale”

So it turns out that Bandai Namco released an *actual* sequel, and then we had the election results we saw yesterday. Coincidence?

This, although I’ll add that finding that initial set of familiar patterns to build out from is often pretty tricky!

So do we all have to start referring to Sorkin’s TV show as just “The White House” now?

I’d like to have a home lab for some side projects, but I don’t want to do the research required to make sensible hardware/setup choices. I’m aware that it’s a zeroth world problem.

On an airplane, most folks seem to store their bags directly above their seat (when they can), but it seems more reasonable to me to put them *across* the aisle so that you can just reach out and grab them when deplaning, rather than awkwardly twisting around. Am I wrong about this?

Perfectly timed my in-flight entertainment today: read a book (mostly) start-to-finish, switched to a TV episode, plane landed as the end credits started. It’s weird how inordinately happy I feel about this
