American date notation saved me from another year of subscription. I though the subscription would run until October 4th. Instead it was until April 10th.

A few days ago I though: let's just cancel it and let it run out at the end of the year.

Today I was at the AWS Summit in Amsterdam.

@kohelet @WTL It's definitely not my phone number. It's connected to some AWS database which has my name, company and email, probably. It's used to scan contacts and prospects too.

I am 💯 obsessed with Sci fi ain gon lie. The biggest wish I would have in the whole world is if aliens from other planets would connect with us . Surely this is a possibility at some time in the future?
Just want to connect with other Sci fi folks to discuss? Tho hope not just fiction 😬

@Jaden3 From what I've heard, from scientists, there should be plenty of life out there, but the distances are crazy big, so them finding us will be difficult, even if they have a way to travel that far/fast.
Take also that the universe is expanding, so the distances are even getting bigger, which makes it even harder for them.

I'm not going to think about 'us'. We can't even live on the moon yet, so interstellar space travel will take another dozen of years. Or more.

#Drawing again.
This looks too simple. It isn't. Did I already mention that proportions are difficult?

Drawing. The sailboat by my hand, proportionally challenged.

Would someone know how the name "Uqllo" (Inca, Peruvian) would be pronounced?

Diving into Inca mythology for a WIP.
Fascinating stuff turns up, all perfect for the #fantasy genre.

(Some of the names seem hard to pronounce. Good thing I only write them down. 😂 )

Apple.
I had the odd idea to use Apple Maps on the drive to the customer.
After 3 messages that the app could not plan a route because it couldn't find a server, I decided not to use Apple Maps.

Drawing starter kit.
An 80 sheet A4 sketch pad.
A pencil case with 23 pieces (all different pencils, small sketch pad, eraser, sharpener).

Let the doodles begin...

Oh wow. 7 5-star ratings on Amazon for Witch Kids. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This comment blows my mind:

"For non-native English speakers maybe a motivation to learn, the book is well written and easier to read than the original Harry Potter."

Sunday: Slept nine hours, went for a 6km walk with @TAV for brunch, then made soups for lunches. On to Alien: Covenant while I putter digitally.

On the #Drawing front, I wonder if I should get a cheap digital drawing tablet with pressure sensitivity, or get paper and pencils.
Hmm.

Here are the Easter messages of the two candidates for President. One is a man of faith, the other is a grifter who disguises himself as an angel of light.

You aren't voting for one 80-year-old man or the other. You're not voting for a particular issue. You're voting for the kind of world you want, selecting the sort of leadership that exemplifies your values, and choosing between the policies of love and democracy or hate and revenge.

#VoteBlue Every election. Every race. Every Democrat.

Donald J. Trump post: HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING THOSE THAT DREAM ENDLESSLY OF DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF DREAMING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE, THOSE THAT ARE SO INCOMPETENT THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT HAVING A BORDER AND POWERFUL WALL IS A GOOD THING, & HAVING VOTER I.D., ALL PAPER BALLOTS, & SAME DAY VOTING WILL QUICKLY END MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD, & TO ALL OF THOSE WEAK & PATHETIC RINOS, RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS, SOCIALISTS, MARXISTS, & COMMUNISTS WHO ARE KILLING OUR NATION, REMEMBER, WE WILL BE BACK!

@koen @Luuk_Aalders De regering zal wel heel lang inkomsten moeten krijgen uit Tata om dat half tot 2 miljard weer goed te maken.

    Al 8 exemplaren van "Windjammer" verkocht. Dat klinkt naar heel weinig, maar voor een onbekende Nederlandse schrijver... is dat toch aardig wat. 😃
