theres a few choice picks from my stash of articles
Please be aware that “Might Get Loud” is an understatement for entertainment value. The film will, indeed, get loud.
One meta-thing to come over is the realisation I had that paying a regular subscription to use a service is actually the right thing to do. If your Mastodon server admin has a link somewhere to throw them a few bucks a month in return for being there, please do it.
"If the service is free, you're the product" works both ways - if you directly support the things you use, they are less likely to resort to extracting value from you as a means to survive.
Patrons are reminded that “The Never-Ending Story” does, in fact, end. Would all customers kindly vacate their seats when the final credits conclude.
#PhotoOfTheDay is an aisle of the old Map Room at the USGS West Coast Headquarters in Menlo Park, California. This place was like a temple to topographic maps, with some very old handmade benchmark disks on display too.
Sadly, it's been gone for a while now. We did an interview with the head of mapping there (I was helping to make a benchmarking video) and he explained that he had none of his people left that did actual field work. :(
Viewer Notice: Despite being named “The Terminator,” this is the first film in the series, not the last.
