There's a group that's sad when anyone gets murdered
and there's a group that's sad only when someone they like gets murdered

I have spent a lot of time working on software that automatically synchronizes audio events with visual events and I think we need an app that you give a collection of explosion videos and it sync-sequences them to the 1812 overture.

Model: a conceptual representation of almost anything
Context: the information that goes with something. Almost anything.
Protocol: rules about how data is transmitted.
These are the generic words you use to pad out your backronym. Using them all in one thing, it's like a guy with three last names

I have been trying, for 30 years, to come up with a universal system for organizing all my files. Every year I get more files and more ways to organize them. Sometimes I have to migrate the system. At this point I'm thinking of hiring a librarian.

I am not the Andr00d that made a watch project that got out of hand (5th place Revision 2025, Wild)
I do, however have a clock project that is in the process of getting out of hand.
tl;dr I thought a clock that was just a qrcode of the time would be funny and now I have a flip dot display WIP.

I bought Star Control in 1990 for $55. That's the same as paying $135 today. It has been weird watching games get cheaper even as they get more expensive to produce.
Part of it is that it doesn't take me a whole year to save $55 these days, but the other part is that the prices just stay the same.

My grounding in social science is rudimentary at best. My understanding of the utility of currency is that it lets the value one person gives another be abstracted. This enables shaping of social behaviors, as we try to be valuable to one another in whatever way we can so that we can buy ipads.
