My smart home is so smart that when the sun sets it closes the curtains… which triggers a motion sensor which turns on all the lights in the un-occupied room.

Acts Of The Apostles - Slashdot Back from his stint in juvenile detention, it's hemos with a review of John F. Sundman's technothriller Acts of the Apostles. And you don't even have to buy it until you're hooked. (Read more to find ...

A little story to amuse any paleo-geeks out there. April, 2000, I gave a copy of my self-published nano-bio-cyberpunk novel Acts of the Apostles to Slashdot's @cmdrtaco.bsky.social. 6 weeks later this @hemos.bsky.social review appeared. My amzn sales rank went from 1,300,000 to 54 overnight. 1/

I’ve been robbed.

35 Oscar nominated films on my list this year. I have 10 left to watch but The documentary category has been pretty soul crushing so far. I’m gonna need to watch Anchorman or the Naked Gun or something just to keep the shotgun out of my face.
