I love programming, fonts, computing esoterica, and learning languages (even if I’m not very good at it).

Gonna start migrating over to The WELL's Mastodon instance.

If I don't survive, tell my wife...hello.

I remember the horrible realization that some people had an #Amiga to do work and/or play games and not have a religious devotion to the system itself.

I was >< this close to getting a Canon Cat off eBay about five years ago, and was outbid at the last minute. I was pretty bummed. What a beautiful, beautiful machine.

I was infatuated enough I even investigated getting a modern keyboard with a touchpad underneath with mouse buttons above the touchpad so I could write an editor and map those buttons as leap keys.

…I might have a problem.

We’re in Houston, to tour memory care facilities for my father. My wife came a day later (after depositing the kids with Grandma) for moral support, God bless her.

Wife (texting): I’m close to the hotel.

Wife (texting): I’m at Taco Bell. I took the wrong turn.

Me (texting): Sounds like the right turn to me. 🌮🔔

He goes on to become a magician with an amazing teleportation trick and ends up in a feud with Christian Bale.

The WELL having a Mastodon instance means I might finally migrate off mastodon.social…
