ok, so, i had a Marketplace listing saved a while ago, and it turned out to be serendipitous - the contemporary official ThinkPad travel backpack. given that the battery works, i’ve now just got the best 1998 road warrior setup imaginable. so i took it out for a spin, ofc

Why "her"? Well, kinda personal reasons

made myself physically ill imagining a gen z'er trying to interact with a .exe file. pawing at the screen like "skibidy is this an app". no, you literal child. you need some .dlls and probably a .dat file before it becomes an app. christ alive

have you ever taken a shot and you're very annoyed it's as good as it is

posting my film photos in separate threads, but obviously wanna post this guy by himself

see, that's what people liked about this shot even moreso

ok so I have a ton of film backlog to work through posting on here, but like, among them might be my magnum opus in terms of both photos of wife and candid shots in general, and I can't in good conscience not show everyone right away

maya update: the water main replacement they had been doing along my street that had been causing me problems for months, started in March and originally projected to last 2 months, is finally complete

no thanks xbox im good

it is fucking crazy how much heart and soul the computer had and that we got rid of it in exchange for literally nothing

g-d damn people liked this huh

i often hear people remark that what ruined the simpsons is that today’s simpsons writers grew up with the simpsons; i think something i’ve noticed is that one of the things that has kept jeopardy relevant even as game shows have fallen off is that today’s jeopardy showrunners grew up with jeopardy

it’s hard to talk politics anymore because the natural response to everything is “oh they should be killed” but you’re not allowed to say it. it’s more illegal than open pedophilia

SURPRISE SATURDAY EVENING SUBSTACK POST: In 2005, Apple designed the most overbuilt consumer computer ever built. @selectric.space and I recently spent a minute rebuilding one to be far nicer than is reasonable. Here's a story about a deeply stupid weekend. open.substack.com/pub/laserdyk...
