Enjoy the calm before the storm (aka: Pineapple Express) about to hit the Bay Area.

My next door neighbor from childhood died this week.
Fond memories of him.
A long life.
A good life.

I'm on my 4th kvm.
I've got a remote velcroed to the edge of my desk that has a line-of-sight to the KVM mounted on the underside of my wall cabinets. I'm switching all day long.

I'll be designing a keyboard tray that fits under the desk when not using the computer. Then positioned for sitting. Then positioned for standing.

The tray will be a mesh so that all disgusting stuff falls through it continuously.

@Cosmichomicide
I often do a
- Shake
- Shake
- Shake
and marvel at how much falls out.

When I post that recommendations to my FB friends I get a lot of disgusted reactions from those that do it.

@Cosmichomicide

You are clearly a better person than am I.

Do you have a keyboard that is separate from your computer?

@Cosmichomicide
It wasn't the band. I just installed a new, metal one.

There is a lot of room for "stuff" to collect on the device itself.

For those that wear a FitBit on a watchband: when was the last time you cleaned it?

I'm sorry, but you may be about to experience a terrifying reality on your arm.

Don't you worry.... He'll katch-up to them.

My friend, Andy Mullen (

Andy was a staffer for Sup. Catherine Stefani. So, he had a unique position to see this act happen in real time.

New restaurant in the neighborhood. This is their version of pot stickers. Delicious!

Enjoy a morning walk in San Francisco

New Hampshire GOP voters amount to less than 1/2 the population of San Francisco.

These races are horrible representations of the US electorate.

What is the value of anger?
Why do animals exhibit it?
How does it effect our evolutionary trajectory?

If we master our propensity towards anger, would we change as a species?

Would we trust more?

What would we learn about ourselves that cannot be learned due to the wide exhibition of anger in our society?

A best-practices database for every facet of wildfire management.
I'll be designing it to be like Wikipedia so that experts can add and edit the results I'll be populating using AI.

Another milestone with the AI development!
Finally got the results to write to a database. Seemed simple when I started, but, oh, what a tangled web we weave...

@Render
Education should be objective facts and the training to assess information.
Promoting an opinion outside of that context is not education.
Therefore, she should not be associated with any educational institution:
"As of December 2021, Kiswani was the vice president of CUNY Law School Student Government Association and a Delegate for the CUNY University Student Senate (USS), CUNY’s student government. In February 2022, Kiswani ran as a candidate to head graduate affairs within USS".

The result of the democratic process is a reflection of the character of the population.

"Governed by the people" is consequential and not necessarily optimal unless the culture is actually progressing.

Jury is still out on that one.

Ah, the effect of scaling the primitive being without improvement.
