Tiny fellow decided to look all tough and scary.

Most of the gang

Every now and then a Bandcamp recommendation goes somewhere unexpected and wonderful. This is one of them. The Birdwatchers Guide to Atrocity

Tiny tree frog on our morning walk.

Blue bird nest

Not sure of the plant, but I love it’s flowers. They grow down from the main branches on tiny sticks, then bloom on the end.

Today is the first day of “stay the heck indoors” season.

Love some lush and sappy synthwave, Monsters 🎵

Flowers from before

Apparently air quality is down here today due to dust from the Saharan desert. You can see the haze from the dust in the air and beautiful sunsets.

Yard work done! Time for a beer and some tunes.

Morning walks

I love walks in the morning, before it’s too hot. Headphones on with some chill music, not too loud so you can still hear the birds. Occasionally you can smell someone cooking a breakfast from the street. Makes you wonder about the people preparing the food.

Drafts 21 brings custom dialogs with HTML/CSS/JS. This is amazing .

Stumbled across, the Browncoats Mixtape and now I really need a Firefly rewatch. It’s been a while.

“Gross Easter Beer”.

It’s an IPA brewed with dragon fruit , passion fruit, lemons and… marshmallow PEEPS. By Westbrook Brewing.

I was a bit apprehensive to try this one. It’s definitely not gross.

My battery is getting low and it’s getting dark

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.

My workday is done when I close the lid on my work MBP. It’s extremely satisfying to close that lid.

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
