…it’s clearly a recently-filmed parody…

…i use four WQXGA displays at work but i think i might be more productive with a pair of curved WQUXGA displays even though i’d lose a little vertical real estate; two curved 5Ks would be great…

…can i reposition my taskbar?..no?..then it’s not the f*cking same…

take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them a home, a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial home for incurable tyrants and kings
they could appear to themselves everyday on closed-circuit TV to make sure they’re still real
it’s the only connection they feel

…down to 49% now as the votes keep coming in; the russian propaganda apparatus reaches deep but not yet that deep…

…by ‘attack’ are we talking signal-jamming, hacking, or physical disruption?..

…how about bluetooth in an '81 98?..

…well he’s not…

…what about amber displays?..our VT-200 terminals were green, yes, but our lab full of packard-bells were amber…

^{(or my applecolor monitor 100 which could toggle between monochrome green and full color modes)}

…it’s that sauder fiberboard bookcase + potted plant…

…man, that’s a deeeeeep cut for a time when electronic arts developed good games…

…here’s the thing most folks don’t realise: as a metropolitan area, austin skews far more conservative than san antonio…

_{(we actually meet in the basement of the alamo)}

As a European, the whole registering to vote thing is honestly one of the wildest parts of the US elections to me. It’s so unnecessary complicated and prone to errors/manipulation.

…what the electorate consider a bug the politicians consider a feature…

come you masters of war
you that build the big guns
you that build the death planes
you that build all the bombs
you that hide behind walls
you that hide behind desks
i just want you to know
i can see through your masks

…i’ve done a buck fourty-five in my convertible with the top down: it’s LOUD…at one fifty-five, pushing with all two hundred horsepower, my car can’t make any further headway against the wind and buildings are a lot less aerodynamically efficient…

…i’ve ridden out a half-dozen hurricanes but category fives are get-out-of-town devastating…

…in its prime, olive garden was very similar to red lobster: upscale suburban is perhaps a good description…

…these days they’re both well past their prime and i’m not sure a similar national chain comes to mind; it seems like only regional chains are playing in that space…

…it’s mind-boggling from today’s perspective just how good the olive garden was in the eighties: we reserved a table for my graduation and it was a properly respectable dinner…

…our orange kitty does the same, but he’s the smartest cat we’ve ever known: perfectly adept at opening doors on his own, so we must keep them all deadbolted lest we find wild critters brought into the house, which has happened on several occasions…

(he’s also pretty good at operating our ipads and desktop computers; he’s sent gibberish text-messages more than once and i worry that someday he’ll buy something online!)
