To settle my brain I've been writing little easy-to-memorize iambic trimeter ABAB poems that contain essential lore, to print in case the Internet goes out. If I get enough of them I'll share them! Write one, it'll make you feel better.

Man this feels exactly like being in the waiting room as a family member goes in for surgery.

I had the robots tell me how a circuit makes a sine wave from the point of view of a band of happy-go-lucky electrons.

My decades-long tendency to save weird Internet cruft plus Google’s desire to show me old photos with context creates some of the best content in my life.

I guess getting Queen Bee means you have an ovipositor that lays word-eggs.

Workshopping new cow jokes at dinner tonight. What does a cow like to listen to? (Wait for them to say “Moo-sic?”) No, actually podcasts. Do you know what genre? Moo crime.

The other day I described a pointless meeting as “a real time toilet” and it instantly went into the phrase book.

Every time I see the word “Connections,” I think about how editor of the most important American newspaper said that he might consider hiring journalists who went to state schools instead of Ivy-League schools in order to cut down on the woke.

Someone has been planting flowers in these defunct emergency call boxes in my neighborhood for years now. The flowers are updated seasonally. Such a hopeful, sweet move.

I spend a lot of evenings looking for where my Weltanschauung went wrong and I think the biggie is that I really believed increased velocity of communication would lead to net global increase in creative empathy. Mainline protestantism. What can you do.

Aboard: an AI-Powered Kanban Board App to Organize Bookmarks and Projectswww.youtube.com Download SaneBox to let AI organise your email inbox (+$25 credit) https://sanebox.com/shuomi I have been a huge fan of apps like Pinterest, Trello, and Notion that allow me to collect, curate, and organise ideas from the Internet. However, at times, I find it cumbersome to find the perfect template to use, create suitable fields and tags, or even find an online course to learn how to use the app. While Aboard is definitely not as customisable or feature-rich as those apps, its use of AI almost solves this problem and makes it so easy to start collecting things, researching a topic, or working on a new project.
