one of my hobbies is to make my own board games. it's splashing onto my son (5) who is making his own #TabletopDesign game. it's not the best...but it's playable. and, he made it for himself and not me. not to say he wasn't seeking my approval. but this is huge to me. he's definitely a chip off the old block.

is really giving me hope that maybe, just maybe, I can build a meaningful music community. Again. For like the 27th year. lol.

Open source radio. Decentralized music sharing/streaming. People building their own radio shows. I can do this. I hope you guys will help me along the way.

My book JavaScript: The Good Parts was banned in Arizona prisons in July 2015. I don't know why.

I can fantasize that the security systems in Arizona are so incompetent that they could be hacked by inmates, and that a suspected hacker had access to a copy of my book. Banning the book is easier than building competent systems. You need smarts to fix the system. Book banning does not require smarts.

so, i can confirm. in instances of mild sleep deprivation, a cup of about 430 ml of sencha green #tea prior to taking a 15-minute nap can ease the symptoms. the caveats are that you gotta drink a lot of water and you need to have mild sleep deprivation. forget about it if you have not sleep well or much in a few days. i experimented for about 2 weeks on this.

Massive eco disaster in Sochi. We arrested all the environmentalists who warned of this. So we have released them and arrested the people who 1st arrested them. Then we re-arrested them for being correct.

I remain a master strategist.

Does 5 Nights at Freddy's refer to staying 5 nights in a Freddy's restaurant? If so, that's real horror!

Bitcoiner spends $3 million on transaction fee

November 23, 2023

Bitcoiner spends $3 million on transaction fee
A Bitcoiner making a large transaction ended up spending 83.64 BTC (~$3 million) of the 139.42 BTC (~$5.1 million) transaction on transaction fees, effectively spending $3 million to send what ended up being a $2 million transfer. This likely error on the sender's part has become the largest transaction fee in Bitcoin history.
A similar incident occurred in September, when the Paxos crypto firm erroneously paid a $500,000 fee to send $1,865. They attributed the huge fee to a bug in their software, and the F2Pool mining pool (who had mined the block and received the fee) opted to return the overpayment.

Thinking I need to buy some Christmas faux liquor for the holidays. I deserve it after the stressful year I've had. Everyone deserves spirits of some kind, whether fake or real, this time of year
