I'm a Medievalist, a Celticist, a technologist and I write for money. I'm in the U.S. Unless I know you, I will probably block you; I've got a serial harasser. #Apple #stationery #fountainPens #analog #SF #CelticStudies #Medieval #Apple

Curious throwaway line in the latest Doctor Who: didn’t the Doctor say something about visiting those guys when Ruby mentioned Star Trek? Presumably just a joke and the IP costs would be terrifying. But makes me wonder if they’re in a ‘fictional’ universe or something now.

@craiggrannell Oddly, fanfic and at least one trade published Diane Duane novel (can't remember the title) got there first in the Tom Baker era

At the risk of sounding pointlessly salty and contrarian, I increasingly find Apple Event videos insufferably pretentious and over-produced.

@craiggrannell @flargh Yeah, Jobs emulation is definitely a thing. I don't like the plastic affect that seems common. You can tell Federighi has experience performing, for instance

Finished my day of corporate work. Needed to do something from a mag. Went to grab a drink. Got a great line in my head to kick off an entirely different article. Procrastinated from the thing I was supposed to be doing by writing the frame for the other piece, which I’ve just done a count on and discovered it’s ~50% of what I’m supposed to file, and it all came out in about ten minutes. And it all works.

This is… good? I think?

@craiggrannell Yes; this is a facet of imposter syndrome, and pretty much all writers experience at some point and to some degree. Sometimes it seems to me that the more "successful" a writer is, the more imposter syndrome eats at them.

Funny how the Americans denouncing Gaza Solidarity demonstrations at American universities are all cops and christo-fascist politicians, while the Jewish academics and students are fine with them …
