Dragged ..err...brought... the family to the Vintage Computer Festival PNW this weekend specifically so I could show my kids my first computer. Didn't get any other pics because the venue was packed, but it may have inspired me to acquire a TI99 4/A in the very near future.

Got Rayhunter running, fun start to the weekend. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
My new Orbic RC400L LTE modem. On the front panel display it has the EFF logo and a green line running across the top indicating it is capturing packets and no Stingray's detected.

Hmm...my 7th grade daughter, who has a dystopian fiction unit in ELA, commenting about getting to experience a dystopian world sooner than we expect...may not be far off.
A billboard sign on top of a Times Square building has a picture of a realistic but AI generated woman with the text "STOP HIRING HUMANS" followed by text obscured by the building, but you can make out "The Era of AI". Very Blade Runner vibes.

Prep for the prod launch of the first component of a major rewrite of our loan servicing app is hitting high gear. An appropriate time to sport one of my (many) favorite @charity.wtf lines.

Great example of the Streisand effect.

Got the car out on the Pacific Raceways road course over the weekend. I love the rainy weather...you can learn so much on a wet track. A first was the occasional thick fog and getting the car sideways unintentionally at 55mph out of turn 2 in an adrenaline-infused learning experience 😅.

#Seattle had a bomb cyclone come through last night. Can you tell when the wind started? ⚡⚡ Seattle City Light had well over 100k without power last night, and over 50k still without this morning. We were fortunate!
Screenshot of the Ting app showing a power quality graph for my home in Seattle on November 19th. Heavy voltage fluctuations start around 6pm and end around 11pm. Community brownouts with voltage dropping to 72 volts and 80 volts were recorded at 8:24pm and 8:32pm.
