The big 4-0? Happy birthday, Chris!

Happy birthday, Mikey! Got any birth year scotch to celebrate with? ???

Played the first two hours last night. Hideo-mother-fu#$ing-Kojima! This is so damn weird and I love it! I'm thinking I might not be going outside much this weekend. -- EDIT: Finished it. A stunning piece of entertainment. It takes gigantic risks in a way that is so rare in AAA-budget entertainment. Kojima set out to make a game about connecting people and boy does he deliver.

So three episodes in the show seems to be starting to hit its stride. I really enjoyed that third episode. I have no idea what the show would be like to watch for someone who hasn't read the original comics or at least seen the movie. I think I'd be totally lost. -- Looks like HBO is doing an "official" podcast with the same host that did the Chernobyl official podcast. That podcast was great so I will be looking forward to checking the Watchmen one out later this week.

Frontline looks at the Paradise Fire. Unreal footage. Scarier than any horror movie I have seen. The radio chatter and the recorded 911 calls are heartbreaking. https://www.pbs.org/video/fire-in-paradise-ncamrn/

Go Nats!

How's the fit? I'm a little scared by the in-ear nature as I have not had great fits with IEMs in the past.

I am not normally one to optimize around edge cases, but... is this an edge case or is it just the new normal? At the very least, will have plenty of battery banks and food at the ready the next time around.

He made some amazing movies at Paramount. Also, to quote Rick James, cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Went in to SF for dinner last night for a warm meal and to charge devices and it was pretty damn surreal driving back across the Golden Gate Bridge into a nearly pitch black Marin County. It was like entering the void. Power is back on this morning but it is scheduled to go out again in a few hours and be out till potentially Wednesday evening. Plan is to run to the office, get my laptop, then go work at my boss's vacation home in Napa outside of the shut down area. I really hope we are saving lives here and not just shareholders, PG&E. This is such a pain in the ass.

Still no power this morning. It’s been out since 7pm Saturday. Word is now that it might be out until Thursday. This is insane. It might be time to head out of town for a few days and get a hotel room somewhere else.

Always so good.

Happy birthday, Marc!

Paul Allen's Vulcan crew found the Japanese carriers Kaga and Akagi sunk during the Battle of Midway. Cool stuff! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/21/us/battle-of-midway-carriers-ww2.html?searchResultPosition=1

Well, that was not what I expected. I am intrigued but confused. I’ll be looking forward to it next week.

Yup. Looking forward to it as well. The original Graphic Novel is fucking amazing. Going back in to that world after the events of the original Watchmen? Sure, lets do it!

Happy birthday, Peter!

CHVRCHES - The Bones of What You Believe

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

It is always hard to tell the signal from the noise with the whining that occurs any time Apple ever does anything. The plural of anecdote is not data, but if there is smoke there could be fire. I updated my work computer on Monday and have been having no real issues. All the apps I use work just fine, including MS Office. I didn't use any apps that weren't updated from 32-bit, so I'm sure that helps.

Wait till you get to the end of the day and have 30% more battery life left than you did before. The battery improvement is the best thing about the new phones, IMO.
