Well now I’m watching the Giants/Cowboys. I wouldn’t normally care who the heck wins until it actually matters later in the season. But I suppose since I’m dating a Giants fan and he just rooted for my Eagles…. I will begrudgingly half heartedly kind of sort of root for the Giants.

I've always been fascinated by miniatures. But, only WORKING miniatures.

From tiny doll-house kitchens with real running water and a gas stoves you could light, to a working tiny macintosh computer ... small things that work are a delight.

While reading about MONIAC the hydraulic model of the UK economy the reason for this fascination became more clear.

Working miniature are a kind of abstraction. They are literally models

Do you have a favorite miniature?

Greetings, fellow #Linux users. Have you stopped your distro hopping endeavors?

Good morning, all the early risers.

Rain moving in, so I'll likely work out at home instead of running. Visiting Dad later, and then I have a couple of virtual clients before I settle in to watch the Eagles/Patriots. #flyeaglesfly 🏈

Hope you have some nice plans for Sunday?

So in my quest to actually be able to watch the #Cubs #MLB games via streaming, I see that Marquee Sports now offers a streaming subscription!

I click over to their site to check it out… $20/month?!?!? For one channel that doesn’t have anything of value other than the baseball games?

By comparison, MLB.tv is $20/mo (when paid yearly) for access to ALL games and ALL radio broadcasts except of course for the teams that are regionally blacked out. Good grief.

Reminiscing with Mark about the 70s.

Kickball, hula hoops, rollerskating, badminton, running through the sprinkler, riding bikes. These were things I played when I was growing up. How about you?

As A Gen-Xer, who could ever forget clackers? (No, that's not me in the pic). Yeah, they were eventually banned (boo), but I'll never forget going out to the playground and hearing the 'clack, clack, clack' from 30 kids and their clackers.

How to follow people on Mastodon (at least, how I do it).

1. Someone likes/replies to my toot, makes a provocative reply to someone I follow, or even follows me.

2. I click on the link to their profile, and examine:
   a. Their previous toots, to determine the general direction of their politics, creativity, etc. (are we thought-compatible?).
   b. How often they toot/boost content, vs. how important to me that content actually is.

Open Source community after Red Hat decides to go closed source 😂 #linux #redhat #rhel #opensource By limiting the RHEL public sources to CentOS Stream, it will now be more difficult for community/off-shoot enterprise Linux distributions like Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, etc, to provide 1:1 binary compatible builds against given RHEL releases.
