The view from my neighbor's window. San Francisco isn't all that bad! 🙂

@HoustonTx
He's doing well now. Still in the ICU, but trending well.

Oh great
Just boarded a flight home. Landing in Oakland.

A tornado warning was just extended north to San Francisco.

Holding on tight!
Weeeeeeeee!
Woooooo Hooooooo!

The villain has been around for some time. It has been a part of humanity for millennia.

Interesting list from George Lakoff:

I just finished replacing the noisy water pump for my over-built, ostentatious computer.

Now the office is quiet.

It's always an adventure.
I'm kinda wet.

I always try to improve the system every time I take it apart. New flow indicator. New pressure release plug.

Hope this holds for a while. I've got WORK to do!

@HoustonTx
Thanks. I'm more concerned about the family than my BIL. He seems to be doing fine.
I expect him to be an even better person once he recovers. He hasn't been the best-of-characters for a few years. This is probably why.

Brother in law is recovering well from brain surgery yesterday.

Wife wants me to fly down to southern California this weekend to be with the family. The "hint" is pretty clear that I should have been with her from the start.

Checking on flight options.

@Museek
Doing fine in San Francisco. I've seen MUCH worse.

My brother in law made it through surgery. Now they need to run tests on what they found. Definitely cancer, though. Question is what type and how far along it is.
Family is a bit shaken, but holding strong.

Brother in law is in brain surgery. 2.5 hrs into a 4 hr procedure.

His immediate family is gathered at the hospital.

This is a tough time for us.

Just found out that my brother in law has a brain tumor. Surgery tomorrow at 9am.
Wife is arriving at the airport to get to him.

Always appreciate the present moment. It's all we really have.

@MrGoat
Well, that's one way to get Rick-Rolled.

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.
