I can’t code myself out of a paper bag, but I know the value of the skill of #programming and of #opensource, so good on #Apple for open sourcing #Swift Build. Now can you open source Mac OS Classic? Tim?… TIM?! #tech #news 9to5mac.com/2025/02/0…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Coldplay - X&Y (2005). My favorite album from this UK outfit. They have an uncanny ability to inject emotion into their #Pop #Rock compositions. And yet, Chris is inconsistent live. Oh well. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats - Live Meat and Potatoes (2012). Chad is more than just the battarista for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He’s bombastic in other ways, just like the opening track. #music #jazzfusion #funk www.youtube.com/watch
Both sad & hilarious, Kazuya Ishikawa’s “Salaryman Eraser” is goes bald with proper use, mirroring the difficult conditions Japanese business people face. Note that #Japan hasn’t updated the term to include the fairer sex yet. #capitalism #officesupplies kottke.org/25/01/jap…
If you don’t like the power coming on when you open the lid on your #MacBookPro #Apple has explained how to disable it. It takes a bit of work in the Terminal.app, but anyone should be able to do it if they follow the instructions. #tech #howto www.macworld.com/article/2…
The latest video from #MaxDerrat is a special one of a very personal and painful history dealing with #ADHD and #Autism, both of which I can relate to as I dealt with the former in the 70’s and the latter affects a close family member. #YouTube #mentalhealth #videogames www.youtube.com/watch
Without question, a well directed and shot film with solid performances by most of the cast, they should have leaned hard on the “psychological horror” instead of just “horror”. I may be jaded, but I didn’t find it frightening. Dafoe is always a pleasure, though. #film #movies #reviews
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Bruce Hornsby - Intersections 1985 - 2005. This boxset covers a wide range of material, test pieces, covers, and live tracks from his first 20 years. A true testament to his underrated genius. #music #BruceHornsby www.youtube.com/watch
Remember when you watched #Idiocracy and laughed at how absurd and over-the-top it was? Are you laughing now? #uspol #ElonMusk #TFG #fascism #capitalism #MAGA #FAFO www.salon.com/2025/01/3…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Big Wreck - Ghosts (2014). Hard to believe I’ve been listening to BW for a decade now as this is the first album I bought and discovered that Ian Thornley is amazing. #RIP Brian. You are sorely missed. #FuckCancer #music www.youtube.com/watch
