 But the best thing about a Smash Mouth show is it’s unequaled, across-the-board, universal appeal. More than any other band, Smash Mouth is internationally loved by people of all ages and tastes. The band’s clean and irresistibly catchy songs are delivered with such joy and finesse, Smash Mouth is appropriate for literally any event. Loved globally for it’s fun and positive message, Smash Mouth music is also nearly impossible NOT to dance to. -- from the Smash Mouth about page What's your favorite printer of all time? I'll start. Juki 6100. Hands down. Absolute unit. Both friction feed and continuous feed. Font spacing at 10, 12, or 15 characters per inch, and a proportional spacing mode. Compatible with myriad daily wheels for different fonts. We only had three and it was plenty.  my last interviewer and I shared a good laugh at both having seen a recent job posting looking for a backend dev with cold fusion experience here in the 21st century. @djsundog "What? no this job doesn't involve ColdFusion, we just want you to have experience with it so you know that our system is relatively better" rustaceans. gophers. pythonistas. what was the first programming language that conferred a group identity on its practitioners? citations appreciated. @djsundog I'll see if I can dig it up but I recall ALGOL programmers (1960) sticking together and bonding over the shared language @djsundog this made me go check the status of a certain PR. merged!!!! wow. (still holding out for the publish button though) Fire up the photocopiers! SCOTUS has decided Oracle v Google in Google's favor, per politico on twitter dot com  @djsundog so wait this is the good direction, right? APIs not copyrightable? But I'm trying to recall because I hate them both Fifteen years on, the chaotic and multiply revised Sugar human interface guidelines are still a thoughtful and interesting approach to reimagining how people interact, not with a computer, but with other people as facilitated through the use of a computer. I think a lot of the points made would reframe ultramobile computing interfaces in a much more humane way. @djsundog I was like "wait this looks familiar" and then searched the page for "OLPC" and.. yup there it is. I was geographically adjacent to a lot of the primary development on that project because I lived near MIT at the height of it, so I spent a lot of time with people who worked on it and at workshops and talks. Kanye is getting divorced so this is the perfect time for a reboot of The Odd Couple. Who else has to get dumped to make this perfect television? I'd call it microcard but there's no way that's not already something, so then my mind goes to 'crocard and that sounds french but then it goes to crowcard and that makes me think of @garbados and that's a good thing so it'll be crowcard ok thank. oh, my pi pico take is "cool, good to get the pi crowd into MCUs, but probably not my first choice for any projects right now since I have about thirty MCUs lying dormant right now" Hail the mover of boulders, the digger of holes, the pourer of both quikcrete and water, the driller of holes, the lifter of gates, the victorious, uh, victor, me. The urgency with which I completed this project, unlike literally every other project I talk about, is solely centered around my dog's desire to play fetch with his bouncy balls while it is not raining for a brief moment in time and I really felt that. wait, I am pretty sure I have not heard at least one candidate I just found: he sang backing vocals on a Tia Carrere album in 1993, "Dream". (redrafted to fix name typo) I could probably do a solid week of music I love from the year 1990 without repeating any tracks, but most of y'all would get really sick of my shit about two days in, and the rest of y'all would not all fit into our guest bedroom simultaneously. Wait, people really pronounce UEFI as "you-eff-ee"?? (personally, I avoid getting into verbal conversations about UEFI. It's an ugly acronym.) @djsundog personally am sad that USASCII changed its name to ASCII because I like saying "you-SASS-key" more than "ASS-key" elevator pitch: squatnet - a decentralized federated social network where the data backend is built from other services' user-generated content backends, co-opted for completely different uses.
