  1. I should be allowed to drop some words in some sentences and some letters in some words

  2. It’s a secret to everybody. I put my sourdough starter in the little closet under the stairs where my home server and network gear is when I feed it on weekends in the winter.

  3. Most of the content is even more personally embarrassing than it was when I blew it away last time, six years ago. No one should have to reconcile with specific texts of their own teens, twenties, or thirties, which was the explicit reason I used to keep it up, until I didn’t believe it anymore: the unexamined life, blah, blah, blah

    the actual work of getting it to build was mostly fighting with the cruft of fads and new-things (shtml, textpattern, wordpress, octopress, etc) and incredible journeys ( https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/) and stuff I’d divested from over whatever reasons seemed sufficient at the time. Oh, we are all protest-deleting our github accounts now? Ok, I can do that. Oh, flickr got acquired and is being weird? Cya. tumblr too? bummer.

    so I’m finally going back to 1999, running it for myself only, on my home internet connection. kinda nice tbh

  4. I can hear this hooky Newmanesque chorus (or a much better one probably) getting played at Giants games and everything

    Oh, San Francisco

    Oh, I gotta go

    Oh, I gotta go

  5. Planning a picnic and intending to use the grills at the new bayfront park ( https://www.sf.gov/news/mayor-london-breed-celebrates-grand-opening-bayfront-park-mission-bay) and it looks like, oops, no bathrooms there?

    Mayor London Breed Celebrates Grand Opening of Bayfront Park in Mission Bay | SF.govWith stunning views of the San Francisco Bay and an innovative design that incorporates structures made from reclaimed steel from the old Bay Bridge, the new vibrant waterfront destination by Chase Center adds to a network of over 40 acres of park and open spaces within Mission Baysf.gov (opens in a new tab)

    why does LA get a randy newman and we don’t?

    someone who knows better has a hot tip that there is in fact a bathroom up the steps next to harmonic in thrive city (“yea, I’m going to the city next week”; some local “hey, we don’t say “the city” you sound like a damned tourist, we say whole ass name [enunciating carefully] Thrive city, c’mon.”)

    need to investigate this claim

  6. The lower clouds this morning were as much fun as the sky itself, like fog sneaking off to the bay instead of burning off like it’s supposed to

    photograph of san francisco in the mission looking southeast at sunrise this morning (some dox) the sky is streaked with orange-lit clouds over a blue sky backing, but low at the horizon and heading east, a thick gray cloud bank roils slowly

  7. Clarkesworld Issue 217 ( https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/prior/issue_217/) was pretty solid all around. I think I left 216 in a hotel room (d’oh!), so I’m going back to finish the last two stories of 215 and then I’ll check out 216 on the web.

    The cover of Clarkesworld issue 217, a ship that looks like a cross between Sputnik and a junk fly over a body of water banked by cliffs on either side over a sepia nebulae filled star fieldhttps://clarkesworldmagazine.com/artbio_217/Upon finishing instruction at Art Center, Robert Watts spent the next decade in aerospace where he was exposed to, and rendered, many secret and wildly advanced concepts. This period was followed by a movement into the much broader field of general illustration and storytelling assignments. His career has included the broadest range of styles, media and subject matter imaginable. Most notable among all these has been a deep love of fictional adventure, from Jules Verne to Larry Niven. The story has always been key, be it Nemos’ submarine Nautilus, or the saga of the Ring World. The search goes on into the worlds we only dream of seeing.
