Yesterday’s strange state apparently brought on by lists of names in a spreadsheet and a brain primed to make associations.
Today’s drive to work fueled by an aggressive play list and coffee.
Which reminds me: I need more.
For some reason today I’m remembering events from decades ago of statements I’ve made that were hurtful to people.
I would like to believe I would choose differently, today.
But life is complicated, and maybe the eventual outcomes may not have been better.
iOS 12 Public Beta Is Available
#I’ve installed developer and public beta iOS releases from iOS 3 to 11. I have never really had a “Test” device though in recent years I have leveraged the fact that I carry a phone for personal use and one for work.
I may eat my words, but I think I am going to sit this release cycle out—knowing full well I’ll install iOS 12 on the day of release.

OMG! Thank you for @JRE_Library
I don’t know with certainty that language is a virus, but if not, it’s certainly a carrier.
With gratitude to Terence, Dennis, Lorenzo and Joe
Pro-Tip
I could not get OwnYourGram to work until I created an account on GitHub that pointed back to my Micro.Blog URL, then added that GitHub username to my account in the account settings on Micro.Blog.
After that it was like butter.
I’m not a developer, but okay…
Words, and Writing Them Down
#Picking which idea gets written first is a tricky proposition. I close my eyes and listen to them recite themselves over and over. Some lead to more ideas. Others stand alone starkly or awkwardly. Some seem ridiculously and unnecessarily revealing. Or mundane. Or grandiose. Vain. A trope. My internal editor red-lines most everything, anymore.
However, I still crave writing and returning to the habit.
Baby steps.

Bacon cannot be rushed.
It will not be rushed.
Was gifted a new Apple TV for Father’s Day. First I watched Tron, then 808.
In other project news, I’m keeping an older EliteBook pc notebook alive via Ubuntu. I made the leap to Mesa 18.1.1 for video.
I don’t think it’s the placebo effect—video and rendering seem better, artifacts seem fewer.
In the past several weeks I have been working on long-dormant web projects, including changing my registrar, changing service with my host, adding SSL finally, then adding Micro.blog. Feels like home.
Very grateful to @manton for a new vision of networking and for rapid assistance on a technical issue.
A question I had not thought to ask before:
Why is today different from all other days?
Taken from an email in my work inbox this morning:
“…It is biased data, not machine learning alone that should be feared.”
That is certainly much more broadly applicable than in the field of AI. I see this at the crux of many of the socio-political issues we face as a culture.
Hello, World!
“Odin will not save you but he will give you inspiration and courage to save yourself…” I don’t remember where I first read, but I like it. #selfie #bearded #dramamuch
My first! I’m excited! #unimitsubishipencil #kurutoga
In the business parlance of our times, I have some “deltas” or “do-betters”
