Just finished the 3rd and most recent Ana and Din Mysteries audiobook (the series name does NOT do it justice) and I'm impressed by the consistency of quality in all 3, 5 stars throughout.

I don't need to live extravagantly.

Living vagantly should be enough.

Quoting myself from a day ago - "The problem is thinking that the product of a programmer is code. It isn't, really, the code is just the final stage. The actual valuable thing the programmer produces is the underlying mental model. Without that, the code is just tech debt"

It has taken me 5 years to make pickled mustard greens again after the first time, according to my last logbook entry. Not sure why because I've been thinking about these ever since.

The secret is 1.5% MSG.

honey, we have no more freezer space, it's all taken by this black ice

what do you mean you need the long island iced tea to become iced coffee
Just woke up from a dream where I ordered a rum and coke at a bar and they asked what kind of ice I wanted, then showed me a menu with 60 different kinds of ice. Most were different shapes but some had flavours. I chose mint and my drink became mintier over time. Anyway good morning

Funny and kinda sad watching Apple just try to keep up with the market these days instead of innovating. I've had a foldable phone for years.

For all human history, it was far more difficult to write a document than to read it. Until now.

But generating a document doesn't make the work of *producing meaning* disappear. It's just been outsourced from the producers of the document to its consumers.

Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all.

Presenting: Project Anglerfish.
