Jacqueline du Pré was a very good cellist.

It's always a good day to learn a little more about Jacqueline du Pré.

What a delightful person.

At some point, I’d love to learn why YouTube embeds stopped working and moved to Berlin.

Both make me a little envious.

Just for the record, I have a favorite Bon Jovi song.

“He’s right behind me, isn’t he?”

Is it that there’s way more monologues about how 18th century warships were designed?

Because I’m guessing it involves way more monologues about how 18th century warships were designed.

I did not know wombats got this big.

Haha! No, that's august of 2021 at the very interesting Providence, RI airport.

More old photos.

Looking through old photos.

Hello.

I just had an idea for a neat thing Apple could do.

Y’know the little tabs that pop up when you select text in iOS?

It’d be cool if the device learned which actions you tend to choose in a given situation.

So, if you choose “Translate” more often than, say, “Format,” they could make that a little easier for you.

This is an idea that I just had.

@powersoffour

It’s gotten so hard to plan a day now.

Look at the ratty fence on that manger.

That mouth is telling you a goddamned story.

@alecox

I’ve definitely got another.

But, seriously.

Everyone needs to stop bringing new people to see the time hole.

It just means more people who’ll eventually have to be thrown in the time hole, and that just doesn’t scale.

I can respect a young person who really knows what they want.

@powersoffour

I’m just still amazed “Miracles” ever got played on the radio.

I wish I could travel back to 1967 to tell these kids their songs will be used in commercials for children’s crackers and finding someone to fix your toilet.

Talk about going down a rabbit hole.
