@marcprecipice I hope we all work to figure out something better than Twitter, not replicate it. It has been a wake up call regarding central control.

@chidgey That was such fun! Thanks, Chief, for keeping it real when it comes to engineering a fictional cruise ship.

It was a thrill to fill in as the host of Episode 643 of The Incomparable. Thanks @jsnell for the opportunity! I chose the 50th anniversary of The Poseidon Adventure (1972) as our topic. šš³Just as Die Hard is a great Christmas movie, The Poseidon is a great New Yearās Eve movie. Tip: start watching at 11:35:18 pm to sync with midnight in the film. š„šhttps://www.theincomparable.com/theincomparable/643/

Iāve had my social graph hidden on Mastodon (i.e. āWho you follow and who follows you will be hidden on your profileā) because my experience with Micro.blog has taught me that I prefer that.But can you still see I am following you on your own profile? Can you see me on other peopleās following lists? (Guessing āyesā and āyesā.)Thanks! Itās research for my post about how to use Micro.blog and Mastodon without driving yourself (or others) crazy.

Definitely staying put today. The weather has cooperated with my reluctance to do last-minute shopping.

The universe had other ideas. A pipe burst and flooded my apartment. I had to decamp to my neighbors. The whole scene, sounds, alarm, building evacuation and general panic reminded me of a disaster film. A mini Poseidon Adventure moment. (Photos show the wall where the pipe broke and flooding that reached the hallway outside my door.)

Work is being done on my apartment. I might be able to move back in mid-week. Iām lucky to have friends and family to camp out with. I say to the Frozen Pipe Grinch, "You didn't stop Christmas from coming. There's no wrapping, no boxes, no fancy clothes or drinks. But somehow or other, it came just the same!" Merry Christmas, friends. Thanks for all the good wishes.

I got movers to do the shortest move of my life, to temporary digs down the hall while repairs are being made. Sorry, @glennf, I had to put the Glenns from IKEA into storage.

@chidgey Leave it to the engineer to ruin it for everyone! Happy New Year! I assume your NYE was less chaotic than the Poseidonās.

I still miss the fun and community of Macworld Expo, but I do NOT miss having to prep a booth and a team for a trade show that kicks off early January. Enjoying a quiet New Yearās weekend and hope you are too! š

What would you do if you had one minute to get out of your home? I learned a few things I would do differently next time, and shared my tips on The Weekly Review podcast with James Dempsey. Ep. 246: In Case Of Emergency: Bring Glasses: https://www.theweeklyreview.fm/2022/12/30/in-case-of.html

10 years ago today at Macworld. One of my pithiest marketing slogans, though Iām no a expert on productivity or control freaks.

It really looks vintage because we depict software in boxes. We didnāt even sell it in boxes at that point, Iām pretty sure.

Portugal is pretty cool. I really enjoyed two days in Coimbra thanks to @schlu. I saw (and heard) so many wonderful things, and logged over 10K steps/day. Now Iām ready to circle up with friends in Lisbon through the weekend.

I live here now. (Not exactly here as depicted in this photo, but I have left Portland to try out life as a small town coast dweller starting this week. I already miss Trader Joeās.)

@siracusa @atpfm Too late now, but for future shirts, could you offer the Gildan for women too? That is just a classic t-shirt cut for women. Despite Cotton Bureauās claim, the Bella+Canvas do not āfit like they shouldā; they are another version of the skin-tight style that are not everyoneās cup of tee. (I love my vintage ATP tees that were Hanes stock.)
