1. I wasn't able to participate, but it looks like we had a pretty large, enthusiatic turnout for #NoKings in my town.
2. Our public #libraries. Today I picked up a hold that someone from another library system pulled off the shelf and sent to my library, just because I asked for it. I also bought 2 books, a hardcover in great condition and a like-new trade paperback, for just 25 cents each. Truly amazing.
3. A nice dinner with my lovely wife at our favorite neighborhood place.

It wasn't the first desktop publishing app, but it was the first of importance. I use it to rebuild the 40-year defunct #OMNI Magazine, resurrect a 40-year defunct software rivalry, and examine how the effects of the publishing revolution trickled through the public sector.
This post comes with a free gift!

1. Fairly light workday, which was fortunate, as I was fighting a migraine all day.
2. Got our taxes done, and although we owed both federal and state, it was not nearly as much as last year, which was a great relief.
3. Friday, and a payday.

When I was a teenager in the '90s, my boyfriend at the time gave me his old skateboard.
The trucks and wheels were fine, but the deck was heavily used and the design had been scraped off most of the bottom, so I took some paint markers and decorated it by painting a black and white checkerboard background with a large stormtrooper head in the foreground because Star Wars and ska were two of my favorite things at the time.
I was mostly just a poser and barely rode it and it remained in the back of my car for several years until I was at a sporting goods store and saw a kid doing tricks on a demo deck and I told him he was really good and he said "Thanks! I have to practice here because I don’t have a skateboard."
At that moment, I remembered my backseat skateboard and told him he could have it, but warned him that the "graphic" was kind of nerdy so he was more than welcome to draw/paint over it.
I went out to my car and grabbed the skateboard and brought it to the front of the store where the kid was waiting and he flipped it over and said "Whoa! Star Wars and ska?!? These are two of my favorite things!"
I’m so glad that skateboard finally found the right owner.
