I dislike having to boil myself down into a pithy description. Here are some likes, I guess: cats, photography, art, gadgets, fountain pens, stationery, video games, the old web (blogs!), science fiction, books, tech history

Lynn Conway, electricial engineer and computer scientist, co-architect of the VLSI design revolution, and transgender activist, was born #OTD in 1938.
She invented Dynamic Instruction Scheduling at IBM, but IBM fired her when they learned she was transitioning. π§ͺ π©βπ¬

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Hehe in this case I am choosing not to
Probably just our old-school mentality, and the desire to let a new show last as long as possible, instead of blowing through all the episodes at once and then not having anything else to watch.
Oh, yeah. We were watching weekly. π We tend not to binge shows even if they're released all at once or we catch up on a show that's already all available.
The first Black woman in space carried more than experiments aboard the shuttle.
Mae Jemisonβs journey from Chicago science museums to Space Shuttle Endeavour showed generations of girls what was possible.
History remembers the woman who reached for the stars.

I liked the series but at first was frustrated how short the episodes were. But upon a second viewing, somehow the episode length wasn't as irritating. π€ I look forward to a second season!
this is the perfect explanation of what critics do for us.
(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

Book Group The last Thursday of every month was Book Group,β¨when the books would gather together to discuss Brian. βItβs no fun here any more,β remarked Bleak House, glumly.β¨βWhy doesnβt he read us?β whined the Grapes of Wrath. βIt makes me so angry!β β¨βIβm sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,ββ¨complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness. βI bet he canβt even remember my name, The Idiot,ββ¨muttered a voice from the Russian literature section.β¨βThatβs because he avoids you like The Plague,β said another.β¨βCβest vrai!β came a cry. βIt is like I do not exist.β βLetβs not give up on him yet.β It was Brave New World.β¨After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance.β¨βBe quiet!β cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations.β¨βHere he comes now!β Brian entered the room, with his phone.β¨He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over.β¨After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities. On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines,β¨their silence speaking volumes. Brian Bilston
