Cubbies and a show.

It's good to take dinner time in the city to remind you why you're okay paying a premium for location.

Screenshot from Garden State. Zach Braff is wearing a shirt with the same pattern as the wallpaper behind him, such that it looks like his head is just sticking out the wall.

The kicking news is exciting, but let's give it up for the printers and perfect Pantone matching. The photo is giving off Garden State wallpaper vibes.

Wow, GMail's spam filters are good. It correctly flagged a Google email about their AI tools as spam.

- The Eiffel Tower (I HATE that it's awesome and that I can't explain why it's awesome)
- Alan Rickman's acting
- Northern lights

HT to @americanoutlaws.bsky.social for helping me understand this power. They're an exemplar of balancing local and national identities.

This is a great example of the power of having active superordinate and subordinate identities. People organize and connect strongly with their immediate, small cohort (local chapter) but underneath a shared umbrella of the larger organizational identity.

Tonight in the ai reading group i was reminded of something that happened in 2006 after I dropped out of college, when I was living in a run-down old house next to jb alberto's in rogers park with a bunch of dudes.

it was, as you can imagine, not clean.

I may not remember my Outlook password today, but I still know the password that it was assigned to me when I was handed my first laptop at 161 N Clark.

My first job out of college was with Andersen Consulting, so I know some other Enron stories, but not that one.

(They changed to "Accenture" shortly before all the news broke.)

Agreed. In a world of CHOOSECOLS, TAKE, and FILTER, I still often reach for INDEX.

That is always the first page I look for in a style guide!

A) You learn the most important aspects quickly by seeing what not to do.

B) Some of the impermissible ones are hilarious. And/Or, hilariously bad.

Now there's something you don't see everyday... An INDEX without an XMATCH

Data Visualization with Textiles This site is notes and drafts that may someday become a Handbook of Data Visualization with Textiles.

If you like data, or making things with textile crafts (sewing, knitting, crochet, weaving, etc.), I've finally written something up about data visualization with textiles. More words coming over the next few months! #DHmakes

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:
