This is not a drill.

All is takes is 3.5% of a population engaging in peaceful protest to hold back authoritarian movements.

See you tomorrow.

So long and thanks for all the RoundRects

I was so sad to hear of Bill Atkinson’s passing. He was one of the original Macintosh team members, creator of Quickdraw, MacPaint, HyperCard, inventor of the RoundRect, and so much of what makes personal computing enjoyable today.

Most of all, he was a friend. I spent many hours interviewing him. You can find the shows at the TWIT website. He was a deep, warm, and talented human and I will miss him.

The first time I met Bill, on the set of Triangulation in the old Brick House studio in 2016. Bill is holding an unopened copy of his masterpiece, Hypercard

So long, Bill, and thanks for all the RoundRects.

The Covid lockdown began in California five years ago today. Many of us turned to sourdough baking for consolation.

Not surprisingly I’m back at it.

We may have lost our democracy but at least I’ve gained the perfect sourdough bagel.

A cooling rack is filled with freshly baked bagels topped with various seeds.

System76 or Framework?

The day after I ordered a new home server NUC from System76 (a Meerkat with Intel Core Ultra 5), Framework announces the cutest damn PC ever. It won’t ship untill Q3 and it’s going to cost a bit more, but c’mon.
