Progress!

Slack is the Emacs of today.

A pet peeve is when politicians or pundits say “we have a president” or “we have an administration” when they just mean “the president” or “the administration.” I don’t think the “we have a” part adds anything but words.

I wish those filthy cheaters the Houston Asterisks would go back to the National League where they belong.

People on the NetNewsWire Slack are suddenly talking about a Mac app called Hammerspoon, which I’d not heard of before, but which sounds really cool.

Sometimes I think that if web browsers were written entirely for the benefit of the people who use them, then the internet economy would collapse.

Laptop Capri steals content from Six Colors and, I presume, other places. It’s weird because it appears to translate from English to another language and then back to English.
It cracks me up! “icon clothier extraordinaire Brad Ellis” and “so there shall be insects”!

In a dream last night, I’m back in high school, and it’s a Kafkan nightmare. Utterly realistic.
But then my subconscious gives me a Christmas gift. @macgenie shows up! We start talking excitedly about people who could be guests on our respective podcasts. True! 🥃

It occurs to me that not everybody around the world knows the alternate lyrics.

The Seahawks have lost their top three running backs to season-ending injuries — and this team relies, more than most, on its running game.
But now I read that Marshawn Lynch might come back. That would be a real Christmas miracle!

So far they are utterly failing, but perhaps a few will find their patriotism and avoid the condemnation of history.

Let’s call him #3 instead of #45.

This is a serious and somber day, and I feel like dancing.

It’s 12/12 — and I always remember that Q Branch was officially founded 12/12/12. We shipped Vesper mid-year 2013. It really was that long ago.

Anil Dash, “Link In Bio” is a slow knife:

The House of Representatives published articles of impeachment today I KNOW BUT GET A LOAD OF THIS MAC PRO PRICING!

I like to make band names from Swift programming terms.
Static Void would be a great punk rock band. Public Func would be something like Earth, Wind, & Fire. Internal would be a Smiths cover band. Final Class would play old-fashioned jump blues with a horn section. Etc.
