i still buy and rip CDs just because i got tired of streaming services not being available, not letting me play/download, can't hand shake with the intertubes so won't start, etc.

i can't believe i'm buying 1980s media to convert to 1990s file format to duct tape over 21st century bad programming, but there we are. ;)

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

It would be incredible to reach 100,000 followers of the Memorial here at Mastodon this year.

Don't you think?

@auschwitzmuseum From my privileged position (a lucky place however hard I may have worked) I see this image on this day and instinctually reject it, the way it encroaches for a few seconds on my perfect little life… and then it reminds me that none of this I have is a given right (by god or whoever floats your boat), but a circumstantial blessing of time and place, and sadly I feel only more thankful for what I have. Never forget

I just realized I haven't done an #introduction toot, so here 'tis. I create online training courses independently and for LinkedIn Learning, mostly on #tableau and #microsoft #excel, and do a bit of writing and #keynote #speaking as well.

I also dabble in #boardgames and #wargames, especially as applied to business strategy, and have been a professional #improv performer since 1993. Other performing interests include #magic and #mentalism, especially as they intersect with #law and #rhetoric.

I ran @bazzargh's program and got this.

My dad has been going through his loft and found his boxed Omnichord.

It's the musical future!

As Christmas present this year I would love to have somebody who knows about stochastic calculus/statphys to answer a pair of questions about noise interpretations in conserved systems (when a white noise field has a multiplicative term and both are *inside* of a gradient).

I have been searching in the literature for weeks and I'm stuck, please help :)

PHOTO BLOG: Earlier this month, a storm chaser from the Netherlands took a wonderful photo showing several textbook ice halos, including a 46-degree halo, a 22-degree halo with parhelion (sun dogs), and an upper tangent arc. https://www.accuweather.com/en/leisure-recreation/live-news/weather-permitting-photo-blog/933860

In my time writing about SV, it has gone from being a place of naive curiosity to where posturing is everything. And the reason we have this state of affairs is that, with extreme success, the denizens of the valley have ostracized these four phrases from their vocabulary:

I’m sorry
I don’t know
I was wrong
I need help.

Nothing is more potent than admitting I was wrong or that I don’t know. And that I need help. It all starts by actually admitting you are sorry.

Auschwitz shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.

It is a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world we live in.

Our mission is to preserve the historical site and all remains of the German Nazi concentration & extermination camp.

We commemorate the victims & educate about this tragic part of human history.

ElonJet is back on Twitter but as @ElonJetNextDay lol It will still be live here though.

Critics say Elon Musk has been asleep at the wheel lately with Tesla, but he said not to worry because it's a completely safe, self-driving company.

Actually cannot believe this. After 13 years, Sony/BMG have decided to take down Rick Astley's "Never gunna give you up" due to a dispute with Youtube over ad royalties.

It's completely blocked globally. Actual end of an era.

This cartoon is the most hilarious take-down of Must I have seen.

It's long, but trust me, you want to read it.
