All nicely organized and backed up and versioned in GitHub, system and software. Ftrain.com as “canonical” collection of everything. Passkeys in a family-accessible vault. Eventually it all goes into archive.org, I think.

Bush did 9/11 AND Tiny Desk.
A screenshot from the song Jerk Out (1990) by The Time. A night scene in a dark room with skyscrapers out the window. Morris Day has told a beautiful woman he wants to sleep alone and asked her to leave her number by his “data bank,” which appears to be in the Compaq Presario line, and is the best-lit thing in the room. She is unhappy with this situation and about to leave. The eye cannot look away from the laptop. It is a sad situation but the laptop looks wonderful.
we used to live in a society
If you poke around...this is one of a long series of honey badger-themed IT books. It's WILD.

Liz! A great and helpful thread. I'm a big fan of in-house counsel (my business partner is a lawyer). Looking forward to checking all of the above out.

WHAT DID THEY DO TO KEYNOTE
sort of a late registration
That would be like having every drum machine ever made fall on your head at once.
you know podcasts don't count
It's Roland gear, it will outlast Earth.
I know better than to record anything.
Thank you. This was more of a glancing bonk than a proper bell ring—but I'll keep an eye out.
dammit dan
A pink middle aged man in a gray T-shirt with gray chin stubble has some gauze and a bandaid on his forehead above his left eye. His hair is sticking up ridiculously. It's also gray. His face looks like someone who is kind of an idiot who got injured by a drum machine.
No one in my family is taking this seriously.
I have a lot of forehead, it's okay.
No one warns you about this when you go DAWless.
A Roland TR-8S drum machine fell on my head from a high shelf if you see me this week and wonder why I have a big bruise and scar above my left eye.
Hi, hurkle expert here. This hurkle is NOT a happy beast, hurkles only become visible when extremely stressed. There's also a real risk of hurkleborne titillative paraesthetic formication.
the worst part is that you can now make vsts
The parts of a disassembled machine lie on a white background. There are two large red rectangular pieces, a dozen or so smaller gleaming alumnium pieces that have been precision milled, a few small motors, an integrated circuit, and several shiny plastic pieces of casing
