Getting older is not remembering where I set my car keys 2 minutes ago, but still being to remember intricate plot details of the California Raisins Christmas special I watched on VHS 25 years ago

My label printer gets a lot of workouts during the holidays.

LLM credits are the AOL CDs of the 2020s. They’re almost done handing them out though.

For real though, how do I get to a place where an RSS reader is something I joyfully open each day? I have never had that experience, including my long lost love for Google Reader (RIP). Almost need it to be more like a desktop app that gently notifies…

I wonder if younger people (born post LED lighting) will have any notion of bulbs going bad.
