We got to take the greatest f*cking studio tour today. I am gushing with admiration for the folks at Pixar. @dko5.bsky.social @loulamer.bsky.social

Rest in peace, Vince.

Incredibly sad about Vince Zampella. I spent an extraordinary part of my career with Vince and this is a terrible ending to his life. One time my wife and I were on vacation in London and he was down south, so he invited us to join him and we got to play with tanks. This is Vince driving a tank.

I must be bad at small talk because these new friends write me but never write back :(

I just got to take a ride down Ventura Blvd in a prototype 3-cylinder aircraft engine dune buggy. Highly recommended.

I’m sorry, Cap’n, but this maze is really bad.

Cap’n Crunch’s maze, which is basically a wiggly line.

I made a friend in Japan.

A wild looking Japanese woman dressed in a chaotic Harajuku-style outfit with bright neon yellow hair next to a boring American with a bright neon green Mohawk.

Also I named my character Mr Fart to make my kids laugh and now I get stuff like this.

I got to 2.768e13 on this Balatro run, but couldn’t quite get to 2.900e13.

Holy. This book is so full of wtf.

The ‘Lean In’ author, Sheryl Sandberg, asked if she could fly to Mexico and buy a kidney and put it in her handbag. She couldn’t believe that countries have laws against organ trafficking.

I'm reading Careless People, and in Chapter 4 her boss introduces herself to a visiting delegation of the German government.

A segment from the book 'Careless People' where the author's boss tells representatives of the German government that she is Jewish and follows it up with, "I mean, I don't bring that up because of the Holocaust"

Also, the goods:

A beautiful lush green valley between two mountains. The Ka’a’awa valley in Hawaii, where movies like Jurassic Park have used the beautiful scenery to shoot iconic scenes.

I was so close to getting my first e in my score but I am doomed.

With my new haircut I’ll be the highlight of your day.

A gorgeous mid-40’s man in glasses with a neon yellow-green Mohawk. But just beautiful. Handsome. Fetching. Really fabulous looking guy.

Me waiting for the hot takes to stop flying long enough for anyone to notice that the app still isn’t actually in the App Store, which is what the ban is. Not whether they turn the servers on or off.

I mean it seems like it has a long ways to go with not much training data left.

If you ask Google “what does two in the pink one in the stink mean?” Gemini says “one in the pink and one in the stink is a mnemonic device that helps children remember how to put on their shoes and claims kids have one pink shoe and one smelly shoe and wtf why are we doing this garbage???

I bought some temporary green hair color and tried to brush it in and it was such a disaster that my wife advised me to shower again and not do it at all.

I'm worried that 2024 will come and go with This PC still having no 3D Objects. 2025 is going to be my year for 3D Objects though.
