Nothing like that first afternoon coffee of DST to make you really despise DST.
Pitch: NFTs but instead of environment destroying blockchain they’re single press Franklin Mint coins with a QR code. Please send seed money via check.

Seveneves, not really spoiler
I keep thinking about Markus's watch.

Personally I'm pretty ambivalent toward AMP. On paper, it is just "the web," and based on statements from its fiercest advocates at Google, they're really trying to save the web from itself. But I dunno – if the web "wins" by becoming something that it's not, is that really a victory? Something to puzzle over.
There seems to be a deliberate effort to remove waving from Zoom etiquette and I will not stand for it. Waving is critical communication at a distance and video meetings are at a distance.

I keep seeing prominent Republicans reference Orwell’s 1984. Do they really want their followers to read that book? I mean, I hope their interest is piqued!

Sling sure has my profile dialed in. I guess I can’t cancel as long as NA is on the air.
I gave 15 minutes of my life to home automation and it doesn’t work so I’ll stick with flipping switches like a chump.

Reading the details of the election lawsuits filed so far reminds me of the sovereign citizen conspiracy theory and the “paper terrorism” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_terrorism) tactic some have used to harass courts. The fringe is the party now. I hope there are consequences for these bad faith actions.
I wrote a little love letter to GarageBand. Playing with that has been a fun anxiety-reducing activity: https://www.onfocus.com/2020/11/7945/coping-with-garageband

More like _Stupid_ Standard Time, amirite?
Yeah, I’m wearing Christmas themed bigfoot socks so I guess you can start listening to that Sufjan Stevens album now WTH.
Realizing that the new Google icons are so terrible because the color patterns act like dazzle camouflage making it hard to see the shapes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage
Overheard my kids' take on some classic rock today: - Freebird is too long (“This song is ten minutes?”), too slow (“We’re one minute in and no singing yet?”) - Sweet Child O’ Mine was a fav. (“Ooh, I like this one.” at guitar intro.) - Too many guitar solos overall. Tracked forward at solo a few times. - Laughed at The Police’s repetitive outro in Walking On The Moon. (Not into the groove I guess.) Kids!
3/4 of my family is in the grip of Duolingo madness. I can’t tell if it’s for the fun of learning or the XP.
