Spouse, very fine potter, noticed I purchased a dice mimic figurines from toomanymimics.com These joys figs come unpainted.
She: You paint lead, D&D figs in high school?
I did.
She's been on a gentle campaign to get me to paint them.
Bought acrylics & brushes. Started painting the d6 today.

It is amazing in this country, USA, I can no longer read the 3 key national papers (Washington Post, New York Times, & Wall Street Journal), because all so obviously bend knee to the fascists and billionaires (Venn overlap). I cancelled all these sub, and now have #theguardian. #wapo #nytimes #wsj

I love how these people are both dishonest, bullies, and cowards simultaneously. Least he could have done is spoken to his staff before he left. The LEAST....

Just heard on call where a French client once said, "SAP is the equivalent of Germany in WWII. Invades our territory and takes all our resources." Couldn't help but laugh. #SAP

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

Huge respect to Georgia Fort for continuing to report what was happening and why it was unconstitutional while the Feds were literally at her door.

Remember in WW2, even after the United States entered the war against the Nazi's, how US companies continued to sell to the Nazi's until the US banned the practice? This post isn't about WW2. #ice #capitalism #conscience

Jamie Dimon and @postopinions.bsky.social should check their facts. Right now, federal law prevents states from doing this—and it's the big banks who want to keep it that way.
If you want to get on board to let states cap credit card rates and lower costs, I’m ready to pass the bill.

Holy sh*t! Using Evernote forever. Loved the product.
Over time: pricy, bloated. I'm tired of it all (especially $).
So, I tried open source Joplin. Does most everything core Evernote, free, imports Evernote notes. I'll play with it, but think I will cancel Evernote.

#marriage In 2010, after the death of my wife, I started dating, and met a wonderful, smart, kind, caring woman. Both of us stated we didn't want to ever get married again.
Today, we are celebrating our 10th anniversary. Could not be happier to be wrong.

I have a peer who absolutely hates me.
He was once pontificating on "Strategic IT Initiatives."
I asked: What's your definition of a 'strategic initiative.'
Him: Anything > $100k.
Me: A PC refresh can easily be >$1m for a large co. Important; not strategic.
He hates me; I'm not sorry.
