A built-in photos page has been added to micro.blog, let’s see how it works. It’s pretty fast, check out the Photos menu item up above.
But the core challenge isn’t about moving to the center or getting out the vote or appeasing the activist base. To break the grip of this corrupt status quo, you need a coherent story that explains the source of people’s suffering, offers them a plausible path to a better life, and names the actual villains.
What is going to happen if the Fed cuts interest rates?
Very good advice, this, I put it up there with the idea of a bucket list. I don’t have a bucket list, life is the bucket. I also try to live by the motto of no regrets, which I personally mean to give my all to the moment and give myself the room for mistakes.
Regrets, should we have them, are better addressed in the moment I think. We can apologize for our mistakes. We can make amends when we’ve hurt people. Most importantly, we can resolve to be better now instead of assuming things will work themselves out someday. We all know, at least at some level, that someday may never arrive.
The Oregon Trail Generation: Life Before and After Mainstream Tech Anna Garvey,
If you can distinctly recall the excitement of walking into your weekly computer lab session and seeing a room full of Apple 2Es displaying the start screen of Oregon Trail, you’re a member of this nameless generation, my friend.

Can you be a Christian and not be open to change?
We have greater access to information than ever before and so little wisdom to discern what it is really informing us.
What I find most alarming and discouraging is the fact that there has been and therefore will be interference in our elections, and the majority of U.S. citizens don’t seem to care. Even if you support Trump this should bother you as I would think you would want there to be no doubt of his legitimacy as president. More so if you truly love the America you wish him to Make Great Again.
The conclusion to be drawn from Mueller’s testimony this week is that it is now left to Congress to act. I personally believe not at least having an impeachment inquiry is a failure of members of Congress to live up to their oath to the constitution.
The story of how opposition to New Coke developed is prophetic. Imagine if Trump had been president then, it would have been a national emergency!
Apollo 11 In Real Time is really, really cool. If you are a space geek you probably already know about it, for all you others go check it out!
Among our problems is a lack of understanding about some fundamentals. One is that greatness is not self-determined. Claiming that I am great does not make me so, that makes me arrogant. Whether or not I am great is determined by others who know me or work with me.
So, when Trump says “Make America Great Again” one should ask, who determines whether America is great? How do they determine that America is great?
Likewise, I don’t think I can declare that I am not racist. I hope I am not, but I think only those of other races could determine whether or not I am racist by my actions and my character.
White man declaring he is not racist does not make it so, or does one white man saying another white man is not racist does not make it so.
I’ve been watching the replay of the YouTube live stream of the CBS coverage of the Apollo 11 launch off and on today, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the launch. The stream includes the commercial breaks, which generate a couple of thoughts. One is that there aren’t as many breaks as there would be now. Second, I wonder how much CBS charged for those commercials?
When is ESPN, amongst others, going to realize Serena Williams is 37 years old and not the player she was 15 years ago? The 6-2, 6-2 victory by Halep was not close. Opponents in big matches are no longer intimidated. Serena is still a top five player but there is no more domination.
Today’s wildlife encounter was with a momma turkey and her six young ones.
Sad to learn that Ross Perot has died. I did not work for Ross, but I did begin my career with a company (EDS) that still had his finger prints all over it. Those finger prints were completely gone by the end of the 90s. I don’t think the value that Ross placed on employees exists in corporations today.
It’s a year later and Surface Go is still a thing.
After two days of being cooped up in an air conditioned house because humidity, it’s nice to be outside. Started on the patio, went on a walk, and now back to the patio until the heat and humidity chase me indoors. Happy Sunday!
Did I wake up in Florida? The dew point is 72 degrees.
Worse than Bermuda.
