Politically unaffiliated. A pox on all of them. Hashqafically unique Daddy husband, Linux geek.
Great. Now Australia is gone too, joining UK, Ireland, Canada, South Africa, France, Sweden, and numerous other countries.

Always good to wake up to the news that a murder took place in broad daylight across the street from the office. At least I’m on holiday this week.

First real bsky post.

Pitch clocks in baseball are great. But the proposed Golden At Bat would be another nail in the coffin of Western Civilization. Designated Hitter in the National League was bad enough. I get wanting to improve the game, but this ain't it.

6+ hour (and counting) ordeal to transfer phones from TMobile
to Verizon Wireless. And because of data entry stupidity when TMobile bought Sprint, we have to go to a physical store to authenticate ourselves to obtain a transfer PIN. This is just not acceptable.

Sky Follower Bridge FTW. The Other Place is overrun with ads, spam, trolls, and bots. If the S/N ratio was 60/40 5 years ago, it's now 10/90. Here its more like 70/30.

I run a charity called The Laptop Project that refurbishes tech for people in need. 

Thanks to a generous donor and the VERY hard work of three of our volunteers (including a former intern), we were able to send out a batch of *20* laptops to families that had been impacted by the recent storms...
