I'm not ADHD! I prefer to call myself a stochastic recaller.

What I imagine is happening right now at Netflix's content delivery network's operation center, as the 8pm EST release time for Stranger Things 5 approaches: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwMU...

This looks amazing, but if it hasn't been designed so you can visit every exhibit by only making left-hand turns I will be very disappointed.

Yay! I really enjoyed Stargate, and how it plausibly progressed from small-scale planet-of-the-week adventures to full-up galaxy-scale space opera. True, it didn't hit the kind of TV highs that contemporaneous genre shows like BSG or Lost achieved, but it didn't misfire either, until maybe SGU.

this thing hides posts it judges as ‘rude’, by some US standard. Thereby silencing most of the conversations in Ireland and Scotland, at least.

This has been my earworm for nearly 10 days now, so I'm so so sorry, but now I have to inflict it on you: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHsp...

Some of you will already know @crowdsupply.bsky.social's @helenleigh.bsky.social from conferences like Teardown and HOPE. I got to interview her about the biggest mistake people make gearing up from project to product: simply not charging enough. spectrum.ieee.org/helen-leigh-...

Oh no! I've been running into Greg in his zoot suit or similar every couple of years at HOPE for the last two decades or so, and he was always such a thoughtful presence... RIP

A fun one for @spectrum.ieee.org's special issue on scale: while this tech isn't what we used to think #interstellar exploration would be like at all, it has the advantage of being much closer to doable, with mission durations comparable to what we're already used to with planetary flybys. #space
