I was a strange kid.

I grew out of it though.

Now I'm a strange adult.

Just had to tell someone, 'cuz I'm doing this in total isolation. Laboriously salvaging and pulling nails from ancient wood from demolition that would have otherwise just gone to the dump. Redwood from 1890-1940s California, when they unconscionably cut down trees over a millennium old ;_; light as a feather, stronger than steel. Milled ages ago and structurally unfazed. Only a culture beyond salvation would treat this priceless material like trash.

Y’all know that CNN has a text-only web interface, right?

If you want to experience how GODDAMN FAST the web can be without the tens of megabytes of adware tracking cruft and hundreds of npm dependencies, try this out:

I recently saw an IBM presentation on how AI will help eliminate COBOL once and for all. Basically, they are trying to sell a tool that uses their WatsonX cloud service to convert COBOL to Java with the help of the current buzzword named generative AI. Let me tell you, COBOL has outlasted most of the tech that was invented since 1965 and I think it will outlast generative AI, too.

May you be as epic as this lady

8 y/o daughter lost her hearing. Had to learn to sign. Struggled at first as none of her friends knew how to talk to her. One day I noticed our Labrador run to the treat cupboard after she signed "treat?" to her. In the absence of friends our dog had learned sign language for her

A pretty clever phishing email: I got a message warning me that my Twitter account was about to be suspended for suspicious activity, inviting me to click a button to prevent this. The URL the button went to *was* an x.com link, but it used a security vulnerability in Twitter's backend that allowed redirections to push me to an OATH server that would prompt me for my Twitter login and 2FA, and then send the attacker a valid token they could use to take over my account:

Tonight's Distraction: Britain From Above

Very high quality aerial photos of the UK, from around 100 years ago. (You get way more resolution if you log in)

"Britain from Above was a four year project aimed at conserving 95,000 of the oldest and most valuable photographs in the Aerofilms collection, those dating from 1919 to 1953. Once conserved, the images were scanned into digital format and made available on this website for the public to see.”

Somebody posted their Starfield wedding photos on social media and I am legally required to share them.
