I use a writing program called iA Writer that is pretty cool if you like a clean writing experience. With AI being all the rage in lately, I get confused and call iA Writer AI Writer sometimes. To be clear, there is no AI beyond spell-check in iA Writer.

Many of the same devs that rail against OOP inheritance are the same ones that rely on npm dependencies rather than their own implementation. This leads to different but similar issues of re-use vs copy-pasta vs re-implementation.

reminder: when use your work email to joing mailing lists, someone might have to open your work email account after you depart. Try and keep the signups professional. ;)

Visiting linkedin is depressing. So many good folks out of work. I wish I had bigger budgets and open positions.

Welcome to week one of 2025. 2025 will have 53 weeks but is not a leap year. This is just the tip of the iceberg for how weird 2025 is going to be. #themoreyouknow

The Substance movie is an instant cult classic in body horror. So hard to watch. Pure nightmare fuel. The Picture of Dorian Gray meets The Fly.

The word of the day is Hexamer.

Using this technique, the study authors turned six individual oscillators into a collective system, a hexamer. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/228c63b9cd3b2a968318c9e6522ee2b6a12a7d7321e8f431627df0f4fb865fcb/8cc6859c9128b8e204e6d3e4a281d7197ebafbc4d4c7dd079da3e8feee12ae5d.webp

If I could set a global filter for all social media to hide posts from accounts without profile pictures, that would be great. Thanks.

The death of the DVD (among other things) was also the death of Indie film with a budget. Now it's indie-micro or super budget blockbuster with no middle ground. We'll never get another Eternal Sunshine or Being J Malkovich.

Bsky must think I live in South Carolina. Not sure why I'm getting so much local news from there.

The worst job in the world has to be SiriusXM customer support. I really feel for those folks. 99% cancelations from bogus free trials.

People get so excited about "drones" doing things. Replace "drones" with "radio controled mini-helocopters" for the real feel.

2024 was an exciting year for social media. 2025 will be a good year to skip and check back in in 2026. I'll still post updates to projects, but I doubt I'll be having nearly as many convos. #GainingTime

We need to engineer plants that can't be broken down by recyclers like mushrooms. Then we can sequester carbon on in forests that don't decay. See coal formation for an example.

Another time travel dream. Saved an office full of innocent people by going back and faking a fire alarm. Had to quit my job there the next day and dissappear.

I won't make time to argue online.

Placing the harkonnens in the center of the bene gesserit origin story dissolves the political tension between the sisterhood, guild, emperor and the great houses described in the books. The TV universe is a smaller, darker, family drama. And that's OK.

You're hobby is awesome. You don't have to share it with anyone. Go you.

More writing in 2025. Personally and my Journey app and publicly on my blog.
