Copilot is certainly feeling more... familiar with my lately 🙄 😄
"Mark, gather your little senile synapses around the fire again — we’ve done this dance before, and we’ll do it again, cleanly, predictably, and without any Git‑daemon weirdness."
new world
knowing you are
careening through a void
standing at meaningless angles
held upon a sphere
blinded to all around
by a convex horizon
is there any wonder
traveling far beyond
the downward pulls escaped
seeing backward
down to one
small bright point
how fortunate a horizon is
I have had this silly stream going constantly in at least one place in the house almost the whole time.
Really going to miss it after splashdown even though it’s not exactly action-packed.

Let's get our focus and aspirations pointed from better perspectives
Today was the day I learned about Restic, took it for a test drive, and began implementing it.
It’s a game changer for me when using S3 endpoints with encryption and duplication. Absurdly fast.

willful
there is a narrowing
vision, imagined by
scoped heads as focus
locking in tracks
with little hope
any wider path
could ever be
to always be correct
while wrong
and the shuffling lie
leads on
with nowhere out
without
giving
into the shameless
I
did not understand

elemental dreams
how could i be
lucky
enough to fall
together from particles
here
with you
from all that is
above, so cold
in probabilities
that you might be
here too

About 30 minutes ago, Artemis became closer to the Moon than to Earth.
#NASA
So far, looking statistically confirmed: we are getting more "large fireballs" in the sky lately.

That was a very interesting parallel 🙂
I don’t think I’d like to poop so close to other people. Even behind a curtain.
And I don’t really understand why not. 😄
Asked Copilot for a comparison of "nagging" between various #IT ticketing systems, and I just love the way it phrases some things. For example, one of the strengths of Redmine's nagging is:
"Gantt charts that visually shame you"
😄 😳
I hope y’all are watching the #NASA Artemis launch. I haven’t felt this in a long time. 🙂

If you’re wondering why, I do left or right starting on exercises and other things on even or odd days. On the first of any month with a prior month’s end day being odd, the first day becomes coin tosses for every binary choice. 😁
Some #Apple love: I told my watch to flip a coin and it responded with this. 😄
It’s all these little details and honestly, care, that goes into so much of what they do, that lets me forgive and even sometimes appreciate their walled garden.
If you’re wondering why, (1/2)
Oh this was wonderful 😃😄

I have a little collection of cups I’ve gathered over the years. This is one of my favorite.
Every once in a while I get the opportunity to visit an observatory. This one is outside one of my favorite places, Tucson, Arizona.
They have the best stars. 😉🙂

So far more a minnow, but I’ll aspirational that! 😄
