I’m in need of info/recommendations:
I would like to get a certain special someone a nice sewing machine for Christmas. One that she would enjoy using. I know nothing about sewing machines. She used to have one that was good for canvas and leather, but terrible for clothes. She has a cheap small one that is basically useless. Anyone have any advice?

So at the beginning of the “Breath of Heaven” solo at @mary ‘s choir concert, the audience was subjected to a “Stuck Poo!” advertisement. 👌Keep it classy with the free YouTube audio folks!

My daughter is trying to raise $1000 for the Santiago Partnership this month. We found out today there is a donor match. Meaning if you donate $5, someone will donate another $5.
Please consider donating if you would like to help a worthy project. Admin costs at Santiago Partnership is only 5%, so 95% of all donations go straight to the project.

The Misses and I just finished the Maple Films cut of The Hobbit and we both agreed that is was SO much better as a single four-hour long film.

Still enjoying Pluribus, so I looked up some reviews on IMDb. A lot of complaints about being boring and the pacing. Maybe they have a point, but I'm just not wired to be bothered by it.

This looks like a major blow to the global makers community “Did Qualcomm kill Arduino for good?“

I really liked the Halo series and was wondering when season 3 was coming out...looks like it's going to be long time if ever. Shame.

I like Comic Sans and I don't understand all the hate it amassed.

After a mostly effortless data retrieval from a borderline abused 3.5” floppy (27 years old), I just found out that I can fit about half an hour of opus encoded audio on a disk. That is amazing!

Ugh, stayed up way too late re-watching Blade Runner 2049.

“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
- Kurt Vonnegut

I have hijacked someone's evening. I didn't mean to, but I did.

And the data was GOOOOD! It was pretty much stored in a hot car and garage for 27 years. Only one Karel program left on there and it looks like my brother obnoxiously deleted the rest and left an idiot recording of himself. He deserves this.
