I think Peter Muhlenberg was possibly more prominent than Walz as a national political figure, but that’s going back a bit.

I’m sorry, your teenager can not create their own account. Also, you can not see access to their test results after they turn 16. No, they can not grant you permission to access these results unless they log in from their own account.

I wonder if they will include Smith calling the colonial enslavers “the refuse of the jails of Europe.”

More irreverently, the NRSVue translated the snakes as being poisonous, not venomous - in other words, deadly if you lick them, not deadly if they bite you. The reason the bronze serpent worked was because it distracted the israelites from their serpent-licking hobby.

I have to admit that I miss an 80 column display. Especially since there is no technical reason that the hardware couldn‘t run a C128 core. Other than that, though, it’s been a blast.

I hadn’t heard of the Agon Light. That sounds like something I would enjoy, particularly if there is an easy way to run CP/M software.

Oh, yeah! I’ve seen a bit about the neo6502 and it looks very cool. Recently, I’ve been playing with a new C64 Ultimate, which is FPGA-based. It’s the most fun I’ve had with a computer since I got my first Raspberry Pi.

You mean assemblers for 8-bit targets on modern hardware?

Jonathan he/him/his @trellisjumper.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

To be clear, I’m not really all that upset about vibe-coding, and I know LLMs have been used to write software for 6502, Z80, 8086, etc. I’m just concerned that security vulnerabilities are going to make any kind of hobby-level development on modern hardware more trouble than it’s worth.

Can’t address more than 64k of RAM. Can’t run the cryptography that allows modern web access without a coprocessor.

This is making my ridiculous idea to teach myself 6502 Assembly more palatable.

I find this tendency enormously frustrating because Weber himself was fairly careful to point out that he viewed the Protestant work ethic as a kind of unintended consequence of the core theological commitments and as what remained after the bourgeoisie had already abandoned Protestant religion.

Uncle Scrooge #203, which contained a reprint of Carl Barks’s story about Scrooge and the Golden Fleece, referring to the story of Jason and the Argonauts. The story stuck with me, and nudged me to read the Argonautika years later. I still have the comic.

I remember my grandparents having a photographic scene of a beach in Hawaii papered on an entire wall in their dining room. I’m about 90 percent sure I’m not imagining this.

I’m not aware of any other perfect scores in the quartet contest, but I haven’t paid close attention for a long time. I hope the videos don’t take too long. GQ’s sets are masterful, and all of the top ten gave stellar performances.

This is my first international convention in 26 years, and my first as a competitor. I’ve been out of the loop for a long time, and I’m so glad that I got back into it this year. The level of singing in both the quartet and chorus competitions is so much higher than in the 90s.

Jonathan he/him/his @trellisjumper.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

They nailed every set. Each *song* got a standing ovation from the crowd. It was flawless!

Jonathan he/him/his @trellisjumper.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I cheered so hard at the announcement that I couldn’t sing a single tag last night! They deserved that medal, and I’m so happy my boys and I could be there to see history being made.

I love that the photo underneath looks like the most boring diner food from the worst truck stop on I-80 and it’s still getting this reaction.

At the time it came out, I remember thinking that “Can’t Hardly Wait” represented a kind if passing of the torch from one generation to the next.

Yeah — this is back in the range of the typical nominal price from before the price spike, which got up to about $8/dozen here.

Store brand large eggs are down to $1.59/doz. at the supermarket where I shop in W. Michigan — similar to the price before the big spikes. The national brand eggs are still around $5.

One of the teachers who has a bit more experience, explicitly said that they want to move away from the classroom management and instruction tech whose adoption accelerated with the emergence of COVID.

Jonathan he/him/his @trellisjumper.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Three of these teachers are relatively recent college grads, probably under 30 years old.

I have no idea how representative this is, but in the last two weeks I have had conversations with six middle/high school teachers who have told me that they want to get rid of Chromebooks and online assignments. Something seems to be shifting.

A lot of bars around here have PBR, and if I’m not feeling like a craft beer, that’s what I will order. Unless they have Miller High Life, which is my true go-to.

In addition to this, I just don’t think that “getting things done quicker” is a self-evident good in church work.

If I ever meet a medieval peasant, I’m taking them to Buffalo Wild Wings. ”Imagine a world,” I will say to them, “where for less than the wages earned in two hours at the state minimum wage, you can have a cheeseburger that has both bacon and Mac and Cheese. And plenty of beer.”

They composed in Markdown and transformed it with a stylesheet that interpreted some paragraphs as references? Then composed the references as regular paragraphs? Seems unlikely, but at least possible.
