the other day i was walking around with another person and i pointed out a lizard and they were *not* impressed by or interested by the lizard’s mere existence in the world. how is that possible.
it's upsetting when people assume my criticisms are the same as everyone else's
Thinking a lot about our cat Gremlin, whom we said goodbye to just after Memorial Day last year. She was truly a floofy princess.

she’s still very “to infinity and beyond” at the beach, just doesn’t get quite as much air these days
This stands on it's own and bears repeating often:

Warm light and sunset skies - my first daylight view of Galway will always call to me.... Doesn't it look inviting?
Thanks to someone in Illinois who chose a canvas print of this scene! ❤️☀️

Random fact:
The human nose is so good at detecting the scent of vanilla (vanillin) that if an oil tanker full of it spilled somewhere on earth, the entire planet would smell like vanilla.
I think about this a lot.
Do we know why humans are such good vanilla smellers?
I'm incredibly pleased to announce that the microcode for the Intel 80386 has been decoded.
It was an group effort by a bunch of talented people to extract and correct the physical bits, but the major work of decoding them was done by reenigne - you may know him from such incredible PC demos as 8088 MPH and Area 5150, as well as being the person who decoded the 8088 microcode previously.
Please, check out his writeup.

Tahoe still loves to just disconnect from a network share if under load, so I DFU’d the mini into Sequoia. No more issues… at least with that shit.

Not unusual that they're building underground, they've been doing that since the 60's.
Making some effort to reconnect with old friends, including making the trip into the city to practice with the Buddhist group I helped form 13 yrs ago. It was good for the group that I withdrew when I did many years ago. They all started taking turns with the duties, both ritual and mundane, and realized that they could do it. Going back now I’m a peer instead of a leader. It’s so gratifying to see the change and quite freeing for me. I need this community now, need to be just one of the gang.
What they have now, this little sangha, is quite rare I think. Most people are very conditioned for hierarchy, first from factory-style schooling, church, then from work in top-down environments. It’s a big problem for genuine spiritual practice, which ends up being either a pale shadow of itself—abusive at worst—or people just check out from spiritual community entirely.
The rapidly-increasing percentage of my day spent ensuring that whatever product or service I’m interacting with isn’t actively trying to fuck me is _exhausting_.
