Sweet!

While you are in the concept neighborhood, these attribution error categories remind me of narratives my own mentors would tag as "Just So Stories," after the title of the 1902 book by Rudyard Kipling. A narrative space free from nuance or complexity or alternative explanations.

A belt with a leather hole punch and a hammer, literally oriented, showing new holes added from the bottom of the image upwards. The process of making new belt holes to accommodate weight loss changes. The hole punch is pointing at the 8th hole in use now. In March, 42lbs ago, the 1st hole was in use.

Started from the bottom now we here.

Of course - I had to label it...

Like a dog-chewed bone.

You are right - assembly accessions went and specified this. My apologies and yikes!

No.

For the letter prefixed & underscore delimited identifiers, the number of characters that make up the integer is not specified. It is parsed from the set of characters after the underscore _ and before the dot . that marks the start of the version integer.

And the channel outro - is "Welkian".

Harder to pull off than it looks!
I seriously underestimated what it takes.
But progress has been made!
Here is the teaser for Episode 0.
SPOILER ALERT!

1972 Canada vs USSR series. Pre- VCR.

My clean Desktop with a a book, an Elgato Stream Deck + and USB hub, a laptop with several cables attached neatly, a microphone arm with headphones, another notebook and monitor. Few cables are visible.

A view underneath the desk of the floor, an HP workstation to the left, an Elgato pedal, and a small red file cabinet at an angle. 5 cable drops to the workstation and pedal unit. No cables on the floor.

A look from below at the underside of the desk. A peg-board is attacched to the desk underside with wing-nuts. It is loaded with a network switch, power bar, several transformers, and cable bundles - power, network, USB. All are attached to the peg-board with cable ties. This keeps it all out of sight and off the floor.

Cable management in 3 perspectives.

Chekhov's parade was just last week.

At the Celebration of Life for Dr. Atul Butte.

Philip Ball elevated blueprint from analogy to metaphor in his book: How Life Works, A User's Guide To The New Biology, despite using many different analogies in his book. Lay persons have no idea how a generative model works, so it has little value as an analogy. Good luck with that!

This is a panel next to the vending machine with sample chips and barcode. Pick your color, and feed it into the machine, and it rolls to feed your selection .

That was opening day, yes. I went back a week later and it looked like the filament stock in the machine was 2/3 gone.

Thank you for the years of support and encouragement - time to tell some stories!

Desk with video production gear. Softbox key light, Elgato Prompter, Stream Deck, Overhead Camera, microphone, 2 laptops, 2 large monitors, fill lights.

Gear is set up for 4K production.

Welp. Still setting up software and video assets. It's been 12 years so I will need another week to crank this out.

Santa Clara Micro Center has the goods.

Cheap spring style microphone arm with a shoelace wrapped cross cross and inserted into the spring coils to silence the annoying sound it makes

Discount microphone arm spring silencer. LTT store dot com sent me a bonus gift of 3 shoelaces. I figured out how to use that 3rd one.

Welcome to the heel turn spin cycle.
Don't forget to rinse and repeat!

Camera, lights, speqkers, mounts, isolated on Ikea Lack tables. Because I might pound on the desk a lot. Hockey stick for focus, light colour testing.

Elgato Prompter, Studio Monitors, 4K Razer Cam.

Testing camera, promoter and microphone setups on OBS. Dark Mode ftw!

Testing the lighting. Getting a good 4K image without lights reflecting in the glasses is tricky. Tricky tricky tricky tricky. Just need to fix the face. Shave, eye bag masking, teeth whitening, would help.

On June 12 2025...
I will be launching a new YouTube channel...
