poster dossier update opportunity: Lately I’ve wanted to add a few apps to amethyst’s (the Mac tiling window manager I have used for the past year and a half) float exception list and it doesn’t work afaict (also the menubar icon isn’t always there like it should be?) so I’ve switched to Rectangle ( https://rectangleapp.com), which has its own quirks and is less capable in some ways but meets my needs.

[keynote speaker at the big annual laundry basket engineering conference podium joking to a slide of a top view plan of a standard basket with red dots all over the handles.]
[next slide]
next up is a slide with a table on it titled “Mean time to handle failure for handles 1, 2, 3, and 4 for rectangular baskets produced in 2024” with a little side diagram explaining for first timers that these are the top, right, bottom, and left handles in standard orientation. the speaker continues…

all week I thought I’d really messed up my left elbow doing some exercise with a cool name like skull crushers (which I hate but do) or something and then the kid asked for a piggy back ride tonight and up he goes and instantly I saw a flashback of the last time I did this like it was an infomercial before-product clip and billy mays (RIP) was about to come on and convince me that I needed to place an order on installments

everloving wife asked for a cappuccino even though, to her, coffee only smells good but does not taste good, because I’m still NYC jetlagged and waking up at 04:30 which she does not like.
so I got one of her fancy tea cups she never uses out of the credenza (lol who has a gd credenza? this old guy I guess) for the occasion and accidentally got an appropriately spoopy one.

kinda neat engineering (I have no idea what I’m talking about and am pretty credulous, but, neat to me for sure), the entire thing is an archtop with no sides or back ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbBzabnNJhk), ultimately compromised to move units / be a little more practical built with a bunch of 90s stunts like carbon fiber and stainless steel and lasers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbBzabnNJhk

I thought I wanted to do 3D stuff when I grew up and so I taught myself 3D Studio (R2, for dos. Layers, lofts, and tweening.) in ‘94 or ‘95 by, among other things, mocking up a Fly by eyeballing an ad for them in Guitar Player Magazine of Gabrels holding one.
As soon as I was making any money, about ten years later, I bought one https://pizza.slow.high.quality.gravely.pizza/parker-fly-classic/.
