Such a wonderful moment. Thanks T&T for asking me to officiate. It’s was a true honor.
I can’t decide if this is aspirational or just plain nuts.

Watching the Superbowl while waiting for the Hellman’s ad (and my son’s half-second appearance in the background) and vibe coding a TUI to handle all the systemd services on my system. I was able to push it to Github faster than the Patriots could lose the game.
github.com/leolaport… (I’ve started naming of all my command line apps with a comma prefix per Brandon Rhodes).
Today would be a good day to remember that correlation does not imply causation.
Bee Acquired by Amazon? Oh dear!
From a Bee.computer founder on Linked In:
I guess I always knew this was a possibility, but I’m very disappointed. I’ve immediately deleted my Bee account and data. I pray they do, in fact, delete the data. There’s a huge amount of private information in my Bee data – essentially everything I’ve done and said for the past six months – and I really don’t want to give it to Amazon, regardless of their assurances.
This is a nice exit for the Bee team, and I’m happy for them, but I’m sad that this great idea is now part of the evil empire.
I also apologize to anyone who bought the Bee on my recommendation. I should have known better.
The (true) story of RSS
Here’s a swell history of RSS in comic form: audmcname.com/comics/rs…
I know sounds boring, but it’s not. It’s really the story of the enshittification of the web. But, and here’s the good news, Spotify wasn’t able to co-opt podcasting, RSS podcasts still live and thrive. And I, for one, intend to keep it that way.
Salt Hank’s is officially OPEN!

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