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.”
