Depluralize a movie

Dial M for Crow

2008 photo of a wire rack holding an HP LaserJet 4050N, a lampshade iMac G4, and a lot of other junk. Taken as part of a hasty attempt to document the contents of our apartment before evacuating ahead of Hurricane Ike.

when I was in grad school, I snagged a 4050N that my CS dept was throwing out. that thing was absolutely unstoppable for over a decade afterward. I should have put it in the acknowledgments section of my dissertation

who called this show "Starfleet Academy" and not "Hogwarps"

Slightly diminish a game:

Mini-break from Tarkov

you've just opened up a star trek-themed restaurant

what are you calling it?

BBQ Continuum

Shakshouka, when the walls falafel.

Google Keyboard users: right now, go tap the mic button to start voice typing, and say:

"I am Locutus of Borg"

a freak accident caused beds to get stuck upright?

this is Murphy's Law

Life imitates art.

This is such a great listen even if you aren't already absolutely in the bag for dropout dot tv, including insights about
- Decisions
- Making art you're proud of
- Organizing your team
- Exclusivity
- The inescapable tension of running a company and being good to people
- The number 3

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

The boss is on a roll with “Voice Quitting”

screenshot of the stamina meter from the game PEAK. it is a horizontal bar, currently divided into four sub-sections: the amount available to you as stamina (green), and the amount that has been subtracted for other temporary game conditions, in this case encumbrance (red), hunger (yellow), and poison (purple).

started playing PEAK by @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social and all I can think about is the genius of the everything-meter

Very much here for the staff of IKEA inventing fake board games for their room display

excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time. When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work. If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

My gingerbread for this year. Merry Christmas and happy Voyages to all!!

passing it on to the team, thanks 💚

suddenly reminded of the way twitter felt in the late aughts / early teens: your friend texting you from the splash zone of history

I'm at the National Assembly building. The army is here. And I just saw two soldiers in fatigues getting pushed around by belligerent ajusshis. and they looked legit scared.

…and then my remote desktops to other workstations, each running i3 with multiple workspaces, each with too many windows and terminals, each with too many tabs and screens

And then showed her all my virtual workspaces, each of which had too many windows with too many tabs

And then my terminals, running GNU screen, with too many screens…

My daughter saw my computer and said “you have too many tabs open.”

I then zoomed out and showed her all the windows she couldn’t see (that had too many tabs)…
