#introductions
π΅My name is Don and Iβm here to say
Gotta get my intro out of the way
I work the Help Desk and it sure do blows
Want to escape before my brain up and goes
Outside of work there are things I like
Photography, craft beer, and my bike
Iβm married to a librarian
Who almost got a job in Marion
(Iowa)
We live in the Lou but weβre not from here
Donβt ask about Redbirds or Busch beer
Or which high school we used to attend
Iβd say much more, but itβs time to endπ΅
For the month of Me (that's "May" in JT-speak), I think it's time to end my radio silence for both elephant and possibly bird.
Sorry for the radio silence. I have been working on A Thingβ’ that has taken up some of my social media time. More on A Thingβ’ next month.
I just realized I used "affect" when the context called for "effect". Dammit, I thought I knew better.

You don't have to watch the news today.
Also, St. Eugene will undoubtedly be receiving lots of prayers over the next few days and weeks.
After letting it collect dust for a few months, the MacBook Air is on its way to its new owner in New Hampshire. Whether they use it as-is or mine it for parts, I care not. It will make someone happy to have it, and me happy not to.
star wars: let go of the past
star wars fans: hell no, the past is still in the box, and I'll make a fortune selling it on ebay one day

more people need to start filming cops with drones
all the good parts of holding them accountable, without putting yourself in danger or risking escalating the situation
I feel like Hunter S. Thompson's adage, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro" is bumping up against its limits right now. I mean, in principle, I'm well positioned to deal with this kind of weird shit. But in point of fact, I'm boggling.
Greetings, fellow pachyderms. Iβm simply killing time getting tires replaced on my car while listening loudly to Robert Hood.
Voici l'un des memes les plus cools des internets. Bonne nuit #Mastodon <3
I'm not very interested in how to tear systems down nearly as much as what structure to replace them with (and how you realistically think we'll get there)
A very special Duckmas...with me!
Chicagoans! It is the 30th anniversary of the Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion on WTTW!

The original YT upload comes from a VHS tape I made on that very night! (It was right in the middle of Doctor Who - Tom Baker starring in Horror at Fang Rock. I taped every show. Yes, I'm that flavour of nerd.)
