Clara Bow is thought to be the original “It” Girl because she starred in the 1927 film “It.” Her name is gaining traction today for a different film in which she acted: “The Pill Pounder,” a 20-minute silent film that was presumed lost. But it was recently discovered at an auction in Omaha, Neb. Read more at IndieWire. flip.it/AHMN6u

A random curio from my hoard...

Snowflake (c) Alexander Milukov, 2001 :)

Snowflake is probably most compact Win32 application
I ever wrote. It is only 12 kbytes in size. Consider
it as my little programming joke.

Snowflake is a simple webpage backgrounds creation tool.
It makes a nice graph which you could easily paste to
your favorite graphics editor using Windows clipboard.

Request: Anyone sitting on a pile of 17"x22" ANSI "C" sized plotter paper/vellum they no longer need?

It would go to my #PenPlotter exhibit next month at #VCFEast. TIA!

You have been visited by margaret hamilton. Fast code and moon landings will come to you but only if you boost this toot

Space Dunk #Oreos with Cosmic Creme center. These exist so I know we are in the future.

You know, i was dubious for a long time, but i have to say I’m really impressed with my new steam deck!

Thoughts Before Bed:

No I did not eat a whole box of Samoas through the day. No not me. I know better than that.

@Mondobizarrro - I'm not wanting the change to make the day longer. Only a fool believes stripping the bottom off a blanket and sewing it to the top makes a longer blanket.

It's more for moving the sun time around. Works for Seattle, may not work elsewhere.

And what I REALLY want is to stop messing with my sleep schedule, cause sleep is very very important to me. :)

@Mondobizarrro - It works super well for us here in Seattle in the winter, where our sunsets would change from 4:30 in the afternoon to at least 5:30. Our sunsets in summer are already 10PM....

Can we stay on Daylight Saving from here forward, Congress? PLEEEEZE? It's about the only thing we can all agree on....

It's been seven years since we lost Marisa. It's both feels like yesterday, and an eternity. Miss ya, sis.

Thoughts Before Bed

After 17 years of Second Life in the third person, am I ready to try a metaverse in the first person? Lots to think about on that. It's one thing to spend that time in a third person camera on a screen. It's another to look out of those eyes in VR glasses.

I'm genuinely worried it'll be dissapointing, and also genuinely worried that I'll like it too much. And kind of expensive to take that gamble, too with all the hardware. But I've been told by a friend that he got what he needed out of it. I might, too.

Decisions, decisions....
