16th consecutive day testing positive following short, precaution-filled trip out of state. Symptoms relatively mild but persistent, semi-isolating due to family member at high risk. Don’t buy the “it’s over” wishful thinking and loosening of mask mandates; be careful out there.

This series, wherein the son of Dennis Davis, Bowie's drummer in the mid-to-late 70's, interviews Tony Visconti about his Dad, is great. This episode, featuring some fantastic isolated drum tracks, is gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gCUBRFkvvU

Wow - source code to Defender! As a kid, one of my first non-trivial programs was a Defender-inspired game that ran on early UNIX + VT100. So many days trying to get smooth side scrolling and decent looking ASCII explosions working… https://github.com/mwenge/defender

Driving family & dog to check out Xmas lights display. As we arrive, dog pukes up 2 apparently-purloined sticks of butter, wrappers and all, into youngest’s lap. Bail out of car, & kid takes off barf-covered pants. To the surprise of all, seems he’s gone commando. Merry Xmas!

TFW the freeware disk cloner you downloaded is chugging away on your active install and pieces of the OS start to fail in strange ways and in a horrifying moment of clarity you hit the reset switch, but it's too late.
