I know how charged the phrase “Inbox Zero” must be for @hotdogsladies@mastodon.social, who invented/proposed it. But I still, occasionally, maybe very occasionally, utter it when I get to that exalted state.
“What would you do if you could go back in time and see an elderly man packing groceries into a truck with a Hitler sticker on the back?”
The answer is, I am sorry to say, nothing.
I am strangely calm heading in to Trump’s second term. We know his game. We know he’s evil. There’s nothing to be “afraid” of, because fear is best-suited to the unknown. We know him. We’re not afraid. We’re aware.
The song “Jackson” just popped into my head so of course I’m thinking of @jean! (We had a karaoke duet once)
Have you ever wondered what you would do if you got to be President for just 48 hours? #Biden
I’m proud of the aesthetic details in Black Ink that make it shine for those who notice every detail, but I’m also proud, maybe prouder, of the accessibility details that make it shine for people who have little or no vision.
Just posted Black Ink for Mac 2.4 with significant updates to printing, support for Quick Look, and “smart” punctuation for clue lists redsweater.com/blog/4169…
Why do the wrong 78-year-olds keep dying?
Why does non-alcoholic beer take so long to drink?
The water at my (now) year-round swimming spot doesn’t freeze over easily because the Tufts sailing pavilion runs an agitator. Water is 35F. I lasted 8 minutes.

I didn’t perform particularly well in today’s cubing competition, but I did establish a new personal record for “average solve time”. 31.16 seconds. live.worldcubeassociation.org/competiti…
Just a little etiquette question: when addressing the felonious President of the United States, is it best to say “Mr. Criminal President” or “Mr. President, Criminal?
If you guessed NaN, you’re right, but everybody who guessed negative/non-standard rect guessed the scenario I was specifically thinking of. It’s down to CGRect.width being a cover method on CGRectGetWidth, which is documented as normalizing the rectangle’s size.
Today I discovered it’s possible for a CGRect in Swift to cause this expression:
rect.size.width != rect.width
To evaluate as true. Can you guess when this happens?
I’ve gotten to the point in my weird adult Rubik’s Cube solving life where I’m disappointed when it takes me longer than 30 seconds. Sub-20 average, here I come!
My New Year’s Resolution is to keep doing whatever it is I think is worth doing. I’m pretty boring that way.
People keep telling me that CEOs “have to” suck the asses of tyrants. I have a different definition of leadership.
On the occasion of Apple’s slithering CEO Tim Cook donating $1M to a neo-fascist insurrectionist, it’s FINALLY time to deploy the often overused expression “this never would have happened if Steve Jobs were still in charge.”
The Channel 5 reporter shared this particular segment with me only on Twitter. I hate to link there, but … x.com/BienickWC…
