So, @thurrott ... Windows 10 has started giving me notices a couple times a day that I should switch to Adobe Acrobat as the default for PDFs. I've had Acrobat for as long as it's existed -- but that was a bit much. I uninstalled it.

I'm still getting those notices. Thoughts?

@Grizzlysgrowls I'm not sure what that even means. Windows 10 is delivering this? Is this in Edge or the OS? Or some app?

Watching Windows Weekly . Heard Paul @thurrott talking about CoPilot, including it having a feature to "turn on Dork mode."

But on second thought, I'd bet that's not what he said. 🙂

@Grizzlysgrowls Close enough!

If you're wondering why I'm up at such a silly hour for the US Midwest... Remember @pluralistic Cory Doctorow's book "Eastern Standard Tribe?" Turns out my bioclock is syched to the Olduvai Gorge, as I figured out the other day. So far as my body is concerned it's 3:22 pm.

Maybe I should move to Tanzania?

Listening to the Mysteries Abound podcast from Paul Rex, one of my favorites. Spent some time discussing and describing cryptids. And I wondered from that...

Do all have glowing red eyes? Are there cryptids that have glowing blue or green eyes?

Something I wondered about with heygen.ai, @jasonhowell ... @jeffjarvis mentioned using that on Homer Simpson... Would HeyGen make the cartoon's lip movements more realistic?

Hey @jeffjarvis did you ever find someone good to narrate your "Gutenberg Parenthesis" book? I know a guy...

Grizzlysgrowls,
@Grizzlysgrowls@twit.social avatar

@jeffjarvis Okay, so now I got the Audible version of your book, since I had spare Audible credits. I still woulda sounded better. 🙂

But yeah, folks like to hear the author read the book... (sigh)

Saw something on about the rise of the "Experience Economy." And immediately I thought of @pluralistic and those workers being paid in Woofy.

@Grizzlysgrowls There was a time, not very long ago at all, where this sentence would've convinced people you'd had a stroke. @pluralistic

@Grizzlysgrowls How on earth is that book 20 years old?? I swear it was just yesterday I was saying I needed to check it out.

Time's moving too damn fast. And there are too many kids on my lawn....

Hey @AbandonedAmerica I finally found your podcast! Listening to the one from 01/23/2023 about the church. You sound nothing like your typing makes you sound. 🙂

@Grizzlysgrowls oh, thanks for checking it out! I have never really liked my voice much but it's the one I have.

@bookstodon

Currently the "Shadow Vanguard" series by Tom Dublink Michael Anderle and Craig Martelle on my . It's part of that Kutherian collection.

SF, fairly plausible, except the spymaster named Nathan Lowell. Where do these SF folks get these crazy names?

@nlowell

Grizzlysgrowls,
@Grizzlysgrowls@twit.social avatar

@nlowell Quite plausible. Or Schenectady. Or Poughkeepsie.

🙂

@nlowell @bookstodon Just finished the second book in "Shadow Vanguard," and I absolutely love this series! The good news is I got the full collection as a bundle on my -- and the bad news is it's the full series and it'll be done. (sigh)
