@FalconMarkSix Congrats! Feel better soon!

@shiawase @AnthoDerv I had the 1982 version as well ... when one wants the soundtrack and that’s the only version available, what else can one do? (I have the proper Vangelis version now)

@allrite So much for the idea that kids today know how to use tech and their parents don't ... 🤔

A photo of a heavy man with a mustache, wearing a suit. He is sitting on a floating chair in a swimming pool, talking on a telephone. His legs are dangling in the water. The phone is sitting with two others on a life preserver ring to the man's right. To his left is another life preserver ring, on top of which sits a tray with a spritzer bottle and some decanters, presumably filled with types of liquor.

@davidbisset Reminds me of the last AirBnb I stayed in ... 😒

When I saw this from a distance, I thought it was a tiny #JackSkellington head! #NightmareBeforeChristmas

There is a plant in the snow with a very long stem and what seems to be a crown of thistles. The crown has trapped some snow in it, making a ball shape. Some of the thistles are peeking through, making the ball of snow look like a skull.

Good morning, #Portland! #snow #PowellButte

@slims I call them ooh-ahh shows, because the panelists all sit picture-in-picture and go oooooooh, aaahhhhhh! 😒

Text of a post by Bluesky user KD :

“If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.”

But it was assigned “Gulf of Mexico” at birth…

@JonGretar @DrPen Very cool! Thanks for the info! 👍

Let's play a game.

Don't say PowerPoint presentation, say slidedeck
Don't say Word, say text document
Don't say Photoshop, say image editing
Don't say Excel, say spreadsheet
Don't say...

Language is important. When corporate companies own the names of the tasks or the digital items you create, you have become a cog in their branding machine.

@DrPen Regarding the posts debating the confusion between text document, plain text, etc. ...

The #Japanese say waapuro for short ... maybe we just need to coin new terms? Wordpro? Wo-Pro? Wo-Doc? Pro-Text? Or English-ify Icelandic* ... Ritvin (from Ritvinnsla).

*It's my understanding #Icelandic does not allow new words to be created. "Computer" translates as "number witch". #íslenska

“Lunchtime Movers”

I recently posted a black and white photo from this vantage point at the Marunouchi Oazo Building in Tokyo. During today’s lunch break, I went back to take a short video.

@philipjohn And it doesn't even work most of the time. I spend more time trying to solve CAPTCHAs than I do playing video games. And if I try to click to get an audio version, it says it doesn't work. 😒 (edit: I mean the audio version is not available, not that I was unable to solve it)

My cellular carrier won't let me send email to my own SMS email. They will of course offer a paid service that will allow me to email my own phone.

I also have a paid, parked, Internet SMS number. The entire industry got together, decided that we are not allowed to send SMS messages anymore, and offered plans to pay $20 a month to use a SMS TEXT number that we're ALREADY PAYING FOR.

They are literally converting a free service that has been free since forever, and arbitrarily adding mail servers to their blocklist for no reason. Then they are taking the paid service, and saying, pay us $20 more per month for your SMS, and we'll let you actually use it. Thieves, all of them.
