    I irrationally hate the South: its music, its culture, its history, and its people.

    This is tragically unfair of me and I admit that I’m embarrassed that I haven’t quite shaken myself of that, but I will keep trying

    That said, I’ll listen to Johnny Cash all day every day



  • I have decided that it is safe to assume that everyone is an idiot, including me, and behave accordingly: act deliberately with an open mind, making no assumptions, and remain curious.

    Frank Herbert’s Bene Gesserits had a tenet in which they remained mindful of the naivety of all people, including themselves, ostensibly to prevent allowing hubris to allow poor decisions.

    Coming back around to my point: I think we’d all get along a lot better if we’d all agree we’re all stupid, but we can get better.






  • I was about the question how the ADA would apply to websites but then I bothered to check. I am surprised at how broadly the DoJ applies the “businesses open to the public” definition.

    I think this is a good thing but I wonder at what threshold do they enforce this. If I decide to self-host some wiki on the most esoteric lore behind the game of Lemmings for my audience of six people, can I be fined and/or forced to shut down because my website doesn’t adhere to the ADA guidelines for website accessibility? Because I’m an untalented hack who can barely stand up an instance of WordPress I am not allowed to publicly present anything on the internet?

    I’m sure there is nuance to this but I couldn’t find it. I’m not being hyperbolic either, I’m genuinely curious. I feel like this is the cops shutting down a 10 year old’s lemonade stand because they don’t have a license or health certificate. (Shaky analogy but you know what I’m driving at.)


  • After having a Samsung Galaxy S since the beginning every one got worse until I switched from the S7 to a oneplus 7 pro.

    This is been, hands down, the best phone I’ve ever owned. So far it has also lasted longer than any phone.

    I’m disheartened to hear that I don’t have new ones to look forward to when it comes time to replace this one.

    I suppose I’ll just go with the pixel # pro whenever it comes time. My wife and daughter like theirs.
