recently i've talked to a few people (a neighbor, my parents, etc) about data centers and have noticed a common misperception among the general public: the average person thinks data centers are for storage. maybe something to do with "the cloud." they seem surprised and a bit confused upon […]

Superior, they said, never gives up her dead When the gales of November come early www.duluthharborcam.com/p/lighthous…

screenshot of a live cam overlooking lake superior and the duluth harbor canal. the waves are gigantic and the lake is churning. to the right is one of the piers with a lighthouse at the end, obscured by spray and mist.
text on the screenshot reads: Lighthouse Cam -- Perched atop the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center, the Lighthouse Cam offers a sweeping, real-time view of one of the most iconic scenes on Lake Superior. From this elevated vantage point, the camera looks out across the Duluth Ship Canal, capturing the constant rhythm of vessels passing beneath the Aerial Lift Bridge and into the vast open lake beyond. https://www.duluthharborcam.com/p/lighthouse-cam.html

'Ente (2CV)' #FotoVorschlag FASTER THAN A FERRARI. AS MANY WHEELS AS A ROLLS ROYCE. MORE ROOM THAN A PORSCHE. THE £2,584 CITROËN 2CV. All you'll ever need in a car

FASTER THAN A FERRARI.
Travelling flat out at 71.5mph the Citroën 2CV will
easily overtake the Ferrari Mondial travelling at 65mph.

AS MANY WHEELS AS A ROLLS ROYCE.
The £255,240 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit. How many wheels? Four, The £2,581 Citroën 2CV. How many wheels? Exactly the same.

MORE ROOM THAN A PORSCHE.
With a possible 30cu ft, boot space there's no need for one of those plastic luggage racks on our little run-about.

THE £2,584 CITROËN 2CV.
All you'll ever need in a car

It appears that this #NeXT Cube I'm working on (at @foulab ) was last set up to connect to `IPBROADCAST=132.206.3.255`, which is a #McGill IP block. Anyone in #Montreal got a greybeard IT connection at McGill that could tell me more about the cube? I'm afraid at least some of the lore has been […]

i was going to put this in a reply to someone's post, but by the time i found it and got it adjusted and stuff, my browser decided to refresh the page and i have no idea where i was going to post it anymore. so here, here's @mathew and i wearing goofy bird masks.

black and white photo of two people facing each other. at left is someone in a pale grey t-shirt wearing a big crow mask that goes completely over their head. at right, the person is wearing a slightly darker grey t-shirt printed with the words "whiskey whiskey whiskey" on it. they have a black plague doctor mask on that covers the whole face and straps to the back of the head. the mask is embellished with steampunk-style elements and has goggles where the eyes would go.

@ratiogeraet @rothko Looking at the post-consumer apocalypse wasteland paintings of of Simon Stålenhag I must say again that he's a visionary SF artist. It's not just the sense of a cataclysm but the nature of it suggested by the wreckage. www.simonstalenhag.se

@futurebird a young girl at church the other day was advised by her mother to ask me about parakeets -- i've had many over the years, and the girl is interested in getting a pair. so we sat down and she asked me very good questions about bird care etc, and she asked where she might find more […]

@JMarkOckerbloom DEFINITELY worth checking -- i was born in one of those years that didn't get a full dose. a number of years ago i became aware of this and asked my doctor for a titre. DOH! not immune. i went and got another MMR right away.
