Loved your interview with Alan Alda. Does your blog have an RSS feed?

I think I prefer the mystery!

I’m pretty sure this was the only I was or ever will be mentioned in the NYTimes:

β€œSomeone she met online "in an AOL folder" offered to do her Web site for free and digitized her sound clips and artwork for her music festival application.” - archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....

Ms. Abyss: it is so enheartening to hear you making (sonic) waves. I’ve paused listening to β€œLovetongue” to listen to your @abyssradio.bsky.social, just for a little while.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

@moltz.bsky.social I thought Vitici was renaming ClawdBot after you. Such a missed opportunity to extend the Moltz brand.

@cabel.panic.com just curious… were you in the front row of the audience at a performance at the Alberta Abbey recently?

The front and back covers or the original hardbound cover of β€œTwas the night before Christmas” featuring illustrations of 11 cute children.

The cover image is now rearranged into a more traditional and readable orientation. The previous cover was quite wide, and included the back. It is still available in the file collection. www.gutenberg.org/files/17135/...

A Visit From Saint Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore Free kindle book and epub digitized and proofread by volunteers.

I’m not sure why the search results don’t show this one: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/17382

Maybe because β€œsaint” is written out in the title?

We’ve been losing touch with the code ever since compilers… I only need a battery and tweezers to get rolling.

"The tartan officially named "Red Grant (Government No. 15)" by the UK Ministry of Defense, and used in some regimental attire (including cap cockade and bandsmen uniforms) of the 32nd Signal Regiment – formerly 51st/52nd (Scottish) Infantry Division Signal Regiment, earlier Lowland Divisional Telegraph Company, amalgamated from the 1st & 2nd Lanarkshire Voluntary Military Engineers. It is a variant of the main Clan Grant tartan, with slightly altered proportions, and with both green and blue darkened, while the red is slightly lighter and more orangey than typical. This regimental tartan is no longer "funded" as part of the MoD uniform specs [1]). The unit began as a Lowland regiment, and after amalgamation (with 51st (Highland) Signal Regiment, et al.) became a pan-Scottish one. There is no evidence of clan usage of this variant of the tartan." - picyrl.com

Careful. You’re going to decide that much of the β€œwelfare spending” is actually propping up businesses, not families. That leads to some very non-mainstream thoughts.

@goldste.in do you have a minute to talk about Greg N? I’m working on a project about him and I’m looking for a list of the OtH episodes he appeared on.

I’m not sure the phrase β€œYoung, yet mature for its age” for the Baby Swiss cheese slices is hitting customers in quite the way they (naΓ―vely?) intended. At least in the current political climate.

If you are sitting at lunch and tell someone you just met that you don’t have anger issues… your statement may not communicate what you think it communicates.
