I thought Prius, Bolt and Tesla drivers were so self righteous and entitled that it explained why they didn’t indicate before, during or after any manouver … but no … it’s because they think they are saving battery life so they can drive further with a single charge.

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.

Into the job, he notices all monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the Old Abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies. The head monk says, “We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.” He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives, in a locked vault that hasn’t been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the Old Abbot.

So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing. They missed the R! They missed the R! They missed the bloody R!" His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old Abbot, “What’s wrong, father?”

With a choking voice, the old Abbot replies, “The word was CELEBRATE!”

Generally loving ‘global’ dark mode … but on occasions wish I could override the setting in an app… sometimes it looks cool - but really makes it harder to use … I’m looking at you ‘Maps’.


To put things into perspective …

Last year we remembered 100 years since the end of WWI.

This year commemorates 80 years since the start of WWII … just 21 years later.

21 years ago it was 1998 (seems just like yesterday doesn’t it?


For all of the adoption of the word ‘snowflake’ as a term to insult and the associated damage that Charles Koch has caused in empowering people who use such insults, it causes a wry smile to cross my face when I think that there must be a god, because there is a Koch Snowflake.


Sadly - not for sale.


ok - so when is Catalina going production - because ios 13 now synchs my notes and reminders with my Catalina test machine - but my production machine is now out to dry on those two apps.


From a standing start, never leaving a room and spending less than $1,000 he launched a ‘fake product’ that garnered coverage from the global media in just seven days.

FASCINATING. Imagine what you could do with this kind of thinking and a real product.

Mesmerizing - whether you like / use pencils … or not.

How Faber Castell make pencils.

(I used to use their slide rules - but pencils - never - but that might be changing now).


Two things all cell phone users should be aware of;

  1. headphones are available to save broadcasting the voice of whoever you are talking to all over the locale.

  2. all cell phones include a microphone so you don’t have to scream into the phone to be heard by the other party.


Rate of US abortions drops to lowest level since 1973.

I don’t believe it - and The Guardian should know better.

Thanks to Rethuglicans making abortions illegal, it has all been pushed underground at best - and those terminations are not included in the analysis.
