A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

Did you know the internet is secured by a wall of lava lamps, also known as the Wall of Entropy?

In 1998, Silicon Graphics (SGI) patented the technique of taking pictures of lava to extract truly random seeds โ€” aka Lavarnd.

As of 2017, Cloudfare encrypts the web with their own wall of lava lamps.

Why Can't We Make Simple Software? - Peter van Hardenberg
Why Can't We Make Simple Software? - Peter van Hardenberg YouTube video by Handmade Cities

I gave a talk at Handmade Seattle last year about why I think software gets complicated (spoiler: it's not laziness). www.youtube.com/watch?v=czzA...

This is something I've thought about for years and observed up close both in commercial and research contexts, so I hope you enjoy.

A poem in a book, the page curved, distorting the words slightly. The rounded edge of a flat white petal peeps the top margin, like a ghost dog's tongue.

My poems are shrinking

Soon I will write a poem
that's a single word
ice
milk
cloud
leave you to do the work,
with your map of dreams and memories, your tales heard once,
your stories that have sunk into the bone
blade
flame
gull

Alex's deadline is Saturday. If you've ever shared an 'oh no' comic - especially if you shared this doctored one with a fourth panel added! rude! - then chuck them a quick donation for their horrible, horrible legal battle.

Organically grown frost-feathers on windscreens this morning are as diverse in structure as the tentacles of sea creatures: shimmering tinsel, peacock's tail, caterpillar trail, scimitar blade. A cryogenic ecosystem that will have melted by noon.

honestly, for me personally, the best thing about leaving twitter is that it sorta just made me stop using all social media for the most part, and that's been really great
