The drive to be constantly innovating to sell more new shit, when the shit we have works fine, is ruining technology.

I don’t want a new phone every year. I don’t want a new computer every six months. I don’t want a software upgrade that changes everything. I don’t want a fancy new language we have to rewrite everything in for reasons.

I want bug fixes. I want security patches. I want removal of fundamentally broken things. I want big thick manuals with full coverage of every option and setting and function call. I want people to be able to learn programming the way you learn woodworking – as a mature discipline not subject to regular world shaking innovation.

100% agree with this. No to the shiny shiny all the time.

Linkin Park – The Emptiness Machine

Really digging the new Linkin Park song “The Emptiness Machine”.

And the new members are a welcome addition.

Emily fits really well in my opinion and her vocals on this song make me excited for Linkin Park’s future.

Yes, Chester is missed greatly, and I can’t imagine the pressure of taking his spot, but she’s doing great.

On their Livestream, a couple of the old songs were a little jarring for me. But only because it’s a new person singing them.

On the whole she brought something both reminiscent and fresh to the songs I have grown up loving.

If people hate the idea of lineup changes then tell them to check out Fleetwood Mac – they’ll lose their heads.

Innuendo by Queen

This album has resurfaced in my life and it just hits a lot differently than it did last time I heard it.

Every song is an absolute banger that are bookended by two of my favorite Queen songs — Innuendo and The Show must go on.

The lyrics of These are the days of our lives is especially poignant to me now as a father.

What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

I vaguely remember watching Teddy Ruxpin, He-Man and Thundercats as a very young child.

Pretty standard 80s child I guess.

I got into the X Files and Buffy in the 90s when I was in high school. I was obsessed with both.

I think the one constant from a child till now though — with a few breaks between — is actually Neighbours.

I am…

I am a breeze, rustling through the Autumn leaves. Crisp clean air that revitalizes the land. I am a ray of sunshine, blanketing the Earth with my warmth. Providing the light for all life. I am the rain, washing the dust of the day away. Breathing new life into everything I touch. I am a […]
