Pluribus is looking good so far...

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.

Found my old Karel the Robot disk…I think there’s some Pascal stuff on here too, at least there used to be. Amazing that I can get a drive and disks delivered tomorrow in 2025.

I finally did it.

@sundogplanets I saw this back in January and thought of you,. You might already know about it.

I never experienced the 1970's. Tell me something good or bad that you experienced from that decade that doesn't exist anymore. Could be just personal stuff, boosts appreciated.

I had to do a double take at the floor…we’re programmed to see faces.

Took Heidi to watch her first movie in the "cinema" today. She made it and had a good time! We also spent last night sleeping under the moon and stars on the trampoline...@mary tapped out early😂 At least she got some decent sleep. Seeing your 6YO daughter's beautiful face in the moonlight while she looks at you and whispers, "I love you", beats pretty much anything.
