Extremely niche electronic item I wish existed: media player in the form factor of an iPod nano, SD card storage, supports .flac, can play videos, and uses a transreflective LCD with front lighting so I can use it sans backlight, and if I do need a light it's not being projected directly into my eyes.

I would go for an e-ink display were I never including videos.

Oh, and some sort of podcast management integration to track episodes listened.

@mxsiege I have attempted to draw what a potential goater might look like

I came into work this morning and they took me into a side room and now I'm being asked about a tortoise???

"It's the anniversary of Pulse and it's awfully quiet.

As it always is.

The victims of Pulse were Black/Latinx and often at the intersection of both, including MANY Puerto Ricans. My auntie had to help a friend from her church prepare for a funeral of one of the victims.

Hey, this is a long shot, but if you're in the Seattle area and want to work construction I can virtually guarantee my company has openings, with health insurance and above min wage pay.

I will also happily dish any and all dirt related to the day to day operations so you can make an informed decision.

This piece by Janelle Nanos about how advertisers and companies are tracking your geolocation data, and how they're using it, is very good, well presented, and worth a read: http://apps.bostonglobe.com/business/graphics/2018/07/foot-traffic/

Relatedly: someone stop the future, please. I want to get off.

Hey all, if you need writing, editing, tech support, or some bizzaro combination of any and/or all of them, I'm open for clients! See www.scrivian.com

I wrote a post based off of/inspired by @ajroach42's very good essay on how the last 10 years of modern computing has sucked: https://www.humming-rain.com/2018/04/25/computers-hate-us-now-because-capitalism/

(Go read his original essay here! Right now! Please! http://ajroach42.com/observations-on-modern-computing-the-last-10-years-were-a-misstep/)

When running a new cable in an emergency, be sure you actually plug it in to the right port instead of being pretty sure you got it right and then forgetting to verify.

Also, it's "ping" not "pint." #talesfromthedatacenter

To be fair, no one has ever proven I'm NOT six cakes stacked on top of each other in a hoodie.

Is anyone in #Seattle looking at starting a local and/or co-op ISP? I want to help! I have experience in datacenters and can lift heavy things. #coopISP
