Was once again struck by the absurdity of the chain movie theatre self-ad concept: promoting "watching a movie in this theatre" to people literally sitting in that theatre to watch a movie. "Look how bright & colorful the image can be! How chest-rattling the sound can be!"

Yesterday I could not find any information on the Vectorworks website about when the 2027 version would be released. So I caved and asked the "help" chatbot. The bot told me there was no public release date announced. It turns out it was released yesterday.

Farewell to costume designer Bob Mackie, a designer of spectacular gowns for great divas, but also the creator of perhaps the greatest costume sight gag in history.

this morning: spent 30 minutes adding a digital program feature to our @voxel.org backend to offer easy mobile-friendly programs for each show this afternoon: went to a regional theater show with a $95 ticket and a digital-only program... in PDF that is not formatted for mobile (it is unreadable)

I opted out of all Democratic Party texts during the last election. Now they apparently bought my number from another source, and dumped it in a new system that seems to use the Hydra as its underlying concept: for every candidate/PAC I opt out of, 2 more take its place.

My audience includes a pair of patrons that look like the overprofiled pro natalist couple as well as someone literally dressed as the babadook. Theatre is for everyone.

Regardless of how good your program is, you should still check the name you are planning to give it against the Urban Dictionary. I needed to look up settings, & had to ponder how to do a safe Google search for Vor GrandMa, at work. (remember to actually search "Vor recording software GrandMA")

Got a union rule question at the top of the morning call today, and because this is a unique production and it was morning, I actually noticed my brain rapidly going through a series of "if/than" statements as I pondered the question.

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to my son’s 15 year-old cat (and sometimes inadvertent contributor to this & our previous Twitter account), Benny. He was 3 months old & my son was 8 when we got him, and he was a great cat for a little boy to grow up with.

Benny, an orange tabby cat, in a small cardboard box next to a computer monitor and microphone, appearing as though he was recording a podcast.

Benny on his first day with us, just 3 months old, eating in my son’s (left) room.

“And now the continuing adventures of Action-Cat! And his trusty side-kick, Nearsighted Middle-Aged Man!”

Benny as we sheltered together in our building’s basement during a tornado, about 5 years ago.

I have failed even as a wanna-be carpenter today. While doing a brief outdoor project, I had an inchworm crawl onto the lumber I was measuring. He volunteered to help & I failed to get a picture, I failed to measure the inchworm to see if it was an inch, & I failed to use the inchworm to measure!
