One tool to rule them all, one tool to bind them!

Between my profession and hobbies I jump between dev tool versions A LOT. I eventually found this tool that does it all and even works with tools that lack a version manager. I can’t recommend it enough!

I often travel dark forested roads where my halogen high beams don't cut it. To keep a humble look, I tacked together a hidden auxiliary high-beam mount from some scrap metal and mounted an SSC2 Pro kit for extra light! Huge difference!

In a world where everything is becoming SaaS, I'm pivoting away from #Fusion360 and learning #FreeCAD so I can own my designs and my software.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
