On the next episode of Very Gay in Space. 24 year old James Dean and the "Little Bastard" at a gas station in 1955, hours before his fatal car accident. That car is cursed.

I wonder what is that big silver component in the middle. I don't think it's a piece of audio equipment.

This happened a while ago, but I just found out about it. In the 90s I attended Landmark College in Putney, VT. We used to go for "drives" around the Vermont hills and uh, sample the Vermont green. Occasionally we'd pass "the art property" which was a farm that had some massive metal sculptures on it. This lead to some "whoa, dude" moments. Apparently the sculptor died earlier this year at the ripe old age of 87. One of his works is going to be moved to the Landmark campus, which is pretty neat: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/25/arts/charles-ginnever-dead.html

I'm not messing with Catalina for months. I swear half of my daily use apps are still 32 bit.

"Elephant Prints" La Jolla, California at sunset. Menton, France. Click for slightly more hon hon hon.

I have a Logitech wireless keyboard/trackpad combo. It was under $20. It uses a tiny USB dongle and I get a great range with it. My Mini is across the long axis of my bedroom (maybe 15') and in a closet with the door half open. The Logitech's trackpad is nowhere as good as an OEM Apple one, but what is? The Nvidia Shield is a big long in the tooth these days, but it is by far the best Android TV box. I almost bought one before I got the Mini.

James Bernard's new modular setup. Fremont Street, Las Vegas, NV, circa 1959. Melting iceberg in Disko Bay near Ilulissat, Greenland. Click for slightly larger.

A refurb'd Mac Mini. It has a real OS, works with all streaming services, can do light big screen gaming if you GAF, and can access all of your local data as well. /not the answer you were looking for, but it's the conclusion I reached.

I'm going to investigate BackBlaze Real Soon Now(tm) because I have to back up 10ish TB of data before I move house.

Oh man, that vintage Carver TFM-25.
