Richard Gabriel (@Rpg) goes hard all those years ago: "Maybe that's the difference between reading/writing papers and reading/writing code. ... CALL/CC is a tenure-seeker's dream come true."

I just saw this image a couple of times on another site and it made me smile.

Alt text: A magnet with an image of a horse pulling an old-timey four-wheeled carriage, with reins in the hand of a man wearing a hat and sitting on the front carriage seat. Above the image are the words "Please be patient with me", and below it are the words "I'm from the 1900s".

My wife and I spent a few minutes of our Thanksgiving recycling leftovers from many of our aromatic candles. The result: two new candles for me. The one of the right is almost all a pine scent. The one on the left has several different layers, each with its own scent. Both will give many weeks of enjoyment this winter.

This is the shirt I'm wearing today. A little while ago, I looked down and started wondering whether the proposition could possibly true. Rather than mark me as humorless, this episode simply confirms that I'm the kind of person who wears shirts like this.

"But stay lucid, even during office hours."

That's a tough ask some days.
