This is just a great quote from Edward Abbey

Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast . . . a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure.

$3,500 for a set of googles to watch TV and browse the internet?

Really? That’s your pitch, Apple?

Apple still hasn’t given me a reason to want a VR headset.

Everything is you can do the same thing now that but instead of a screen it’s floating!

I think the “One More Thing” introduction should have been done live in front of an audience.

Why is the M1 Air staying in the lineup? What is the difference between the M1 and M2 Air? Production? Why not drop the M2 Air down to $999 and drop the M1 Air?

But can it play Crysis?

As Rage Against the Machine sang

They don’t got to burn the books
They just remove them

I always thought I would get more conservative the older I got. Mainly because that is what happened to my parents. However, that is not what happened in my case. If anything, I’m more liberal now in my 40s than I was in my 20s.

Stephen Hackett links to a piece that includes the epitome of the long tail in writing

I’ll gladly tell you why, but first a little background.

This is like reading about an author’s trek across country just to get an apple pie recipe.

I cannot believe that in the year two thousand and twenty three (2023) you still need to mail a check to a financial institution to rollover your 401(k) from a previous job.

A check. Mailed. And that is After that check has been mailed to you.

You. You are the middleman in a 401(k) rollover.

The part of this Disney story that everyone is missing is an important part of the story:

The Lake Nona campus, about 20 miles from Disney World near the Orlando International Airport, had been championed by Bob Chapek, who served as Disney’s chief executive from 2020 until he was fired last year. Mr. Iger, who came out of retirement to retake Disney’s reins, was much less enthusiastic about the project — even before the company became mired in its battle with Mr. DeSantis.

Igor wanted to pull the plug on the campus when he returned, not because Desantis and Florida are anti-business.

Political Wire, Taegan Goddard: Rick Perry Says He’s Mulling Presidential Bid

He better remember which 3 departments he would get rid of once elected.

The California Coast was grey and dreary this morning.

A coast of melancholy and beauty at the same time.

What a lovely day.

Sometimes you can’t tell the sky from the ocean.

To me, Dave Winer will always be the old man yelling at clouds.

Sometimes there is a path to follow.
Sometimes there is no path to follow.

Dirt walking path between evergreen trees.

The California Central Coast is pretty stunning.
