this is my semi-regular yet aperiodic reminder that this place here is a distributed federated version of Callahan's as far as I can tell and that is one of the most bestest things that can be.

Every one of you is precious and wonderful and unique and necessary and deserving of life and love and peace.

Anything your brain does to try to convince you otherwise is a mean trick.

Please try to remember this. Remember it unceasingly.

From the cool #retrocomputing file, how about the Outbound Notebook from 1989, a portable Mac clone that depended on scavenging a ROM from an actual Mac in order to boot. Apple obsoleted these folks out of business ASAP.

Notably, the Outbound used a "pointer bar" that rolled vertically and slid horizontally for cursor movement. Also, it used commonly available camcorder batteries rather than a custom battery to try to make it easier for users to get spares and replacements - what a novel concept!

Friday night, I went down to Smith's Old Bar (a Georgia Music landmark!) and saw Fairshake kick some ass.

I've known the singer/songwriter in that group for something like 8 years, and I've known their drummer (@TaxDan) for 4 or so.

Anyway, it was a good time. They have a good thing going.
