Day 9: In general I love stories that involve time or time-travel. This book is a collection of fictional dreams and musings by a certain patent office clerk about the nature of time. The stories, exquisite and sweet, will linger in your memory for a very long time.

We all know ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+z, but for example WIN+. brings up the emoji panel. WIN+tab brings up activity history and that's super handy.
Win+V brings up clipboard history (you need to enable that in settings). Again super useful.
Holding Cmd+Opt+P+R whilst booting up will reset the Parameter RAM on your Mac and solve all kinds of freaky issues. (Wait for it to do the start up chime twice before releasing the keys).
Again on a Mac Cmd+i is "get info" for a file and that is handy too.
Today's heaping helping of #prog.
Here is This Winter Machine with "Broken". Matches my mood today.

@codeWhisperer The importance of an uncompromisable kill switch cannot be overstated.
Day 8: This book is a -meh- OK read, but I'm including it here just for the entertainment value it's brought through the years. I leave it on the guest bathroom counter whenever there are people over for dinner.

When I was just a small boy, I stumbled on an odd little show playing on PBS, and was instantly hooked. Even way back then, the show felt ancient, with its low-res, black and white video bloom, but it completely captivated me. It still does, to this day.
It's definitely not for everyone, and some simply won't "get it" but I'd like to imagine that someone out there feels the same way about this guy as I do.
(and thanks to @realJanet, whose Scatman thumbnail reminded me)
BTW... if you ever decide to give this book a try, be sure to get a print version, not Kindle or similar. Otherwise you'll miss out on some of the whimsy. <opinion>
Day 7: Much like Richard Powers, any book by Nicholson Baker is one I will immediately purchase, preferably in hard cover. 🙂

Day 6: Including here because this is the book I used to teach myself to read.
Day 5: This set a course for me when I was a little kid.
Multi-paywall bypass
Day 4: Safe bet that anything by Richard Powers will immediately be purchased - in hardcover - and placed on my nightstand.
Anything.
Urgh.
A day late,
but still great.

wasn't even cognizant of the fact)
