I hate when restaurants have decorative book shelves because I actually want to go browse the books but I suspect the people who sit at the table you're leaning over would be uncomfortable with that.

99% of head injuries go unreported and they are from wearing sunglasses on the top of your head.

You know what you need to do: $20K by Friday and they've marked all the books down by 40%.

My gawd, this was vile and hard to watch. I didn't realize the extremes were this extreme -- especially Mr. "Quite Frankly".

So, middle-aged women with floppy sausage fingers is "artistic genius" but six realistic fingers is "AI slop". I see how it is.

This is a really fascinating and thought provoking talk about the ongoing evolution (metamorphosis?) of software development.

Seems to me that "I'm going to rent an escooter to get home" has somehow become code for "Darryl is drunk and needs a ride."

Been talking about doing this and needing this for so long and it's finally fully functional. My own light weight music collection streamer that runs on a ~$30 Raspberry Pi. Introducing Tower of Song -- web app and API. Next step, an Android app.

If you want the DJ to play your requests, you have to become the DJ.

Even if i trained hard and gave it everything I've got, I would still never be accepted into the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading team.

I'm loving this Lights song and I don't care who knows it.

Created a music streaming service that runs on my Raspberry Pi and serves up my personal music collection via an API with a simple web client. Should save me around $25 a month -- which I was paying for someone elses. The best part is that I have the power to dictate features and fix issues.

I get it. It was probably the right decision given the long-term goals. But on some level I'm disappointed that when it came right down to it, faced with the very first trial, we capitulated to Trump's juvenile bullying. I'm a bit disappointed. Right before Canada Day.

There's a personality type that interprets a self-deprecating sense of humour as a license to dogpile the deprecation.

Shoutout to the dude who set up his entire desktop PC on a table at the foodcourt so he could play Fortnight. Don't sleep on that free WiFi.
