As I was saying to Alex today, Roget's REAL thesaurus is amazing and deeply philosophical.

The first entry is, necessarily, "Existence."

@hotdogsladies I recently discovered Roget's thanks to "On Writing Well". It's a fascinating thing. I want to build something like websters1913.com to make using it easier to use... but I've been procrastinating

@hotdogsladies it's been a fantastic read! So much to chew on, so well written. Plus it got me to finally pick up a copy of Strunk & White.

@hotdogsladies Man, the dialogue on this show. It's like a Mamet play was marinated in Labatt Blue for awhile. Incredible.

You know what would be amazing? If a bunch of streaming services — cross-corporation! — all got together and offered a bundle of a BUNCH of streaming apps for one price! Why not?

It’d be even better if they could throw in local news, too. And maybe even local community streaming from city-based public studios — how amazing would that be?!?

Bonus points if they could deliver it on a redundant connection, like some kind of dedicated cord, so it keeps working even if your WiFi dies

@cabel they should name this brilliant invention after you. In your honor.

And it was all done with practical effects. Amazing.

@hotdogsladies I heard they got the original Shaggy Dog to play Ghost

"And that, to me, is one of the differences between trying to spend more time with these [LLM] systems -- like, when you come into them initially, you're like, OK, here's a problem, give me an answer.

Whereas when you spend time with them, you realize actually what you're trying to do with the A.I. is get it to elicit a better answer from you."

@hotdogsladies I've been looking for something to read after that fun Nightcrawler arc. This will do nicely.

@hotdogsladies Thanks! I loved Jason Aaron's Thor run. Looking forward to this.

I just told my kid there's only one toy that I still really wish I'd had as a kid.

And, granted, printing a random stranger’s recreation of Han Solo's DL-44 blaster at my office would take over 38 hours.

But, if you account for sleeping and eating, it's basically just a day.

Point being, never tell me the odds.

@hotdogsladies feels like a great opportunity to leverage the knowledge of stains and finishing methods you gained when making Siracusa's haunted statue

@jamesthomson @tvaziri Yea I think I read somewhere that they had an actual Godzilla on set for Godzilla Minus One and it really helped the whole thing feel so real and grounded

There’s already a font called “Manufactory” :( So, I’m trying to get creative in giving our forthcoming typeface a name that pays homage to the history of the painted lettering.

(Advencher is the name of my boat, which I use to visit Glosta Habah)

What’s you’re vote?

@zachlebar@mastodon.social avatar

@simplebits I think I actually like "Glosta Habah" best

Loving my new mug from @simplebits. It's a phrase I need to see on a daily basis. Glad to have it in such a convenient and pleasing format.

Another year, another new phone classic conundrum. What do YOU do during setup?!

(And does EITHER method prevent you from having to sign-in again to every app in the universe!?)

I love Passkeys, and also believe that Passkeys will, eventually, eliminate my need for 1Password (which I like — but would like to not need!). macOS/iOS Passkeys automatically sync to all my devices, they’re not a text string, they just work.

So, imagine my surprise when I just went to create a Passkey for Nintendo, and found that 1Password blocked and hijacked the system Passkey prompt… in favor of their own.

Just a convenience? Or artificial lock-in to protect 1Password’s future? Hmm
