I like wide-mouth Nalgenes. I have a number of the “standard” 32 ounce soft-ish white ones. I also have a couple of the harder-plastic 16 ounce wide-mouths. They’re smaller, so they don’t weigh a ton in a backpack, and they’ll also fit in a car cup holder.

I skipped macOS 26 entirely but installed 27. OK so far but it’s only been a few days. Logic seems fine though and that’s what’s important LOL

Ugh, another Hurley-recommended murder show to watch LOL Two seasons in on both The Bridge and The Killing, will add this one to my list. You’re the reason I have a MHz subscription!, but also watching Vera, DCI Banks, Broadchurch, etc.

I got one to label all my AC adapters so I’d know which one goes with which device. I also label power cord ends, so I can know which thing I’m about to unplug from an outlet strip. Life changing!

Well, I got a NY Comic Con ticket months ago for Friday and was planning on wearing a Star Trek uniform shirt but I think I’ll have to wear my Automatic Noodle shirt instead. As one does.

I’m from New York and I get asked for directions all the time when I travel. <Every time.> I was in London once long ago with a large backpack on, standing there trying to figure which direction I needed to go, when someone stopped and asked me where something was. All the time.

@liss.bsky.social Would you mind if I posted this bit of amazing timeline synchronicity? Totally OK to not post it if you object but it made me laugh.

Todd Rundgren. Not so much reviled as disrespected. He’s had a number of pop-schlock hits LOL but honestly I’d put him in a top-ten guitarist list without hesitation. Also, a platinum album producer (!). And he’s done some amazing prog stuff, like the Utopia Theme. Could write an essay, out of space

RT with your home river I grew up in New York City. Almost nobody thinks of New York as a water city but really it’s mostly a group of large islands with an ocean, an upper and lower bay, a sound, and several rivers and estuaries. The Hudson River, in fog.
The Hudson River, from 601 West 26th Street, looking west across the river towards Weehawken, New Jersey. There’s a thick layer of fog directly on the water, but not going onto the shore. The skies are gray and overcast, the fog bright white in comparison.

Powered up the Wavestate Module for the first time, ran the updater, loaded up all the patches I'd built in the software version, and then finally peeled off the plastic. It's got that new synth smell! LOL #SynthSky
Up-close photo of part of a Korg Wavestate Module front panel showing the boot up screen—along with a few knobs and buttons—still with the clear protective plastic on. Which was promptly removed moments later. There’s also a cable of some sort draped diagonally over the synth’s panel just visible in the top left corner.

Thank you for founding the Imagination Library and touching & enriching the lives of millions of children around the world. And thank you for your wonderful songs...we will always love you. Goodnight and godspeed, Dolly Parton. 🕯️
Dolly Parton performing outdoors on stage, wearing a brown cowboy hat and a fringed brown suede jacket with fringe detailing. Her signature long, voluminous platinum-blonde hair cascades over her shoulders as she looks downward with a gentle, closed-eye smile, exuding warmth and emotion. There's autumn foliage and a rustic building visible in the softly lit background during golden hour.

Black sand beach on the east coast of Iceland. My own photo. #WorldPhotographyDay
Black sand beach on the east coast of Iceland. In the foreground on the right is a low cliff, mossy grass on top, small waterfalls along the edge, and on the black sand below short “rivers” of water snaking towards the sea but none quite making it all the way there yet. A little ways off on the left there’s a square black monolith of eroded stone in the water but touching the shore, maybe twice as tall as the low cliff. The narrow beach stretches off into the distant fog, miles away down the coast. It is utterly silent except for the small waves reaching the shore, with no evidence of human presence anywhere in the universe.

I think it was more of a computer error rather than maliciousness but that they didn’t reply to my emails was maddening. To be fair they ended up very apologetic and I’m back getting my every-other-week beans from them but it was all so unnecessary as I’m a 15-year customer.

I had an issue with a coffee bean subscription place charging me $hundreds for shipping which should have been free. They ignored emails and eventually I went to the NYS Division of Consumer Protection and within a couple of weeks it was fixed. Might be worth contacting your state’s equivalent.

Just to be clear, I was trying to be very light on the “sacrilege” and very heavy on the LOL. Not sure that came through in what I intended to be a Dark Star (and Brooks R!) appreciation post. Definitely not at all wanting to start any trouble in such a congratulatory time!

What?!? Sacrilege! LOL If I had to pick only one it’d be Dark Star, from a bootleg three- or four-LP set at Winterland from long ago. Also, totally a Mets fan but can remember seeing many jaw dropping plays by Brooks Robinson from when I was a lad. Human Vacuum Cleaner!

That’s fair, but note that in a year-long Printing shop class in school, as a teen in the ’70s, I have actually set lead type by hand! School though, not as a job. OK, who here’s going to claim papyrus? LOL

I used to be a QuarkXPress expert back in the day and actually somewhat to my surprise it still exists! Not that that challenges your point at all, but back in the olden times XPress was <it>. It’s all Adobe now. And somehow I became the old guy LOL

I’m from New York but Joe’s Ice Cream out on Geary. Really small place with good but plain burgers-and-fries made in front of your face, plus interesting ice cream flavors. It’s like a cross between a ‘50s ice cream parlor and a tiny lunch counter diner.

in his seminal 1971 thesis on the origins of life, John Denver argues that the in the [Appalachian] Blue Ridge Mountains, life is old there—older than the trees. Now, we know that the Devonian progenitor to the modern tree, Calamphyton, evolved roughly 390 million years ago, which is in fact…
