No Luka (again) – home team W, 121-87
So the creator of Nitter said it’s dead, which would explain why all of my saved links stopped loading a few days ago. Saw a thread that had a few working mirrors on other domains, but it sounds like the process being used will eventually time out on all of those too, unfortunately. So my last portal into a handful of Twitter people still posting regularly there has closed: @RossRaihala, @peril_in_pink, @linebackrbarbie and @rstanzel. Sigh.
It was a pleasure to meet Stan Steuter before he retires from the Golf Club Hospital (after 57 years). Re-gripped all my irons with the Golf Pride style recommended by Stan (and Doug). Said the kids next door (Tenant) are very nice…
…in the city it’s a pity ’cause we just can’t hide. Tinted windows don’t mean nothin’, they know who’s inside…
— It’s Tricky
Saw The Boy and the Heron (aka “The Booni Movie”) for the third time – twice at Alamo and today at the Riverview
Sounds like some of the storyline strayed quite a bit from actual events, but Sofía Vergara was great and it’s from the same team that created Narcos

MK got me this book for my birthday – I think it will be the next one up (finished the Charlie Parr book last week)
Everyone on my Mastodon feed is talking about the 40th anniversary of the Mac today and which machine was their first. My first direct experience with one was the original form factor version (not sure the specific model – probably an SE) that was owned by my college hockey player roommate at the University of North Dakota in 1987.
The first one I actually owned personally was a Performa 405 from 1993 that I’m pretty sure my parents bought at Sears, of all places (also weird to think my first Apple IIc was purchased at Daytons). The fuel department at Northwest Airlines was my first professional job working with Macs, which included a lot of Quadra 700s and PowerBooks. Many, many more from this list in the years since then…
It’s been a fun ride – thanks, Cupertino!
P.S. – still looking for a good promotional photo of that 405…
We lengthened their skyway line quite a bit – that fish sandwich is one of my favorites
Probably not a great thing that I discovered 1) discounts in the clown app and 2) our local clown is still open after I get home from most night games
