Former tech dude at various SFBA (San Francisco Bay Area) companies. Now retired and working harder than ever! Too many hobbies...

#introduction
HashTags? We ain't got no hashtags. We don't need no hashtags. I don't have to show you any stinkin' hashtags!

East Bay resident for a long time. Favorite #park to hike in is #Tilden which is the jewel of the #EastBayRegionalParkDistrict. Worked in #SiliconValley, mostly #remote (yay). Hated the #commute when I had to go in! #Retired now, but running a #WX station/website, and some random apps on #RPi. Other stuff: #photography #dogs #cats #Rugby #AllBlacks #CalRugby #hiking #hamradio #gaming #ColossalCave #AstroPhotography #EldenRing

Still running this #Akkoma instance, and liking it. I've brought up a #Sandbox instance (a fork of Pleroma) on another server. Meh. I'm also on @sfba.social just in case my Akkoma server dies :-)

Just added two more hobbies to my list, hahahaha!

Seriously, how does one manage the anger & frustration that TFG causes in you? It's hard to ignore when the thug is actually proud of his mug shot and uses it to promote himself.

What do you do? Gardening? Read a book? Escape to playing a video game? Exercise? Walk the dog?

Reminded of the “Kurt Vonnegut goes to buy an envelope” quote. One of the best expressions of the joys of careful and deliberate inefficiency I’ve read.

Posted as image because the alt text has a higher character limit than a toot so I can paste the whole text as actual text there. Weird huh.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he’s going out to buy an envelope:
“Oh, she says, well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I’m going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I’ll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don’t know. The moral of the story is — we’re here on Earth to fart around.
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don’t realize, or they don’t care, is we’re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it’s like we’re not supposed to dance at all anymore.”

@gme@bofh.social He may have done a VERY good thing, yes, and he has integrity, but no, not a just man. Remember, Marc Elias and Democracy Docket are who saved democracy in the courts:

I don't remember much before the '80s, but I assume I reacted similarly. You?
