People say he’s lazy He just writes about people saying things
But those people always listen When he plays guitar and sings
About people saying things in his songs
She said, “boy sing me a story,” And she sank into his arms until the dawn came
He said, “we don’t have to play This talking song game”
She said, “let me be the girl who plays along ‘Cos I wanna live forever in a song”
And I said “Well now what do I know? I got no guitar for this show I’m here to hear a hero’s story Not to play a song for the radio
Let’s slip out of this movie about the coming of our age Down the alley past the junkies and the bankers with their business to arrange
She said “I know this street, it’ll never change”
He said “that’s the kind of thing people always say in songs”
My bathroom door squeaks slightly. When it opens, it sounds like a particular trilling riff from Herbie Hancock’s Watermelon Man. When it closes, it sounds like a cat I once had when she would say “Mr-r-r-ow?”
As a result, whenever I go to the bathroom, in my head an imaginary radio announcer promotes an imaginary concert like, “Herbie Hancock and the Ghost Cats, one night only, in your toilet!”
So that’s a little bit about me. As for what I hope to get out of this seminar, mainly I’m just here to learn and be challenged
Cookies are really just flavor pillows
It’s getting hard to find good old-fashioned brick-and-mortar brand portfolios
Remember, when something seems like such a big task it's impossible, it can be helpful to break it down into smaller pieces, such as "what is the next thing I have to click on." Once you've done that, give yourself a nice 30-minute break before moving on to the next thing to click

CDC says it’s okay to use a weak password if it’s been more than 24 hours since your last breach
Cloud services people use and rely upon keep getting acquired and killed, with little or no recourse for users. It’s not just someone else’s computer, it’s someone else’s money, and when it goes away, so does your stuff. Bleh
Apple has TOTP support built in now. These instructions are kinda terrible, but it boils down to this: when you get a QR code to scan to enroll for MFA, control-click or long-press on it, and add it to keychain.
Once that’s done, keychain can auto-fill TOTP codes along with passwords.
So long, Google Authenticator

You can listen to Pachebel anytime. It doesn’t have to be a wedding
Remember to laugh through the pain. I mean, you can also cry through the pain.
Actually, you can do whatever you want. Just make sure you're in pain.
Not in pain at all? We'll see about that.
I almost forgot to log into all my gamified apps and nearly lost my streak of maintaining streaks
Every town should have a cable depot where everyone brings the cables they aren't using and they sort, test, and store them, and when you need some random cable you simply drop by the cable depot to pick it up. And if they don't have it they'll request it from the next town over, like inter library loans.
Are we committed to “2024?” Is it too late to consider other options
“New phone, who dis?” but with dozens of MFA apps
Well, it's a ball. It's in a ball shape
But… it's just cheese
Whipped cheese. Softer than normal cheese.
Ok whipped cheese. Why would anyone shove a cracker into this?
Well, it's shaped like a ball, and it's also covered in nuts
Nuts. Nuts. It's covered in nuts so people will want to stick a cracker into it.
Or a knife.
A cracker or a knife. Whipped cheese in the shape of a ball, covered in nuts, and people will pay money to stick crackers into this? Or a knife?
Or a knife, yes.
And what will it cost?
