They’re always making comic-style-illustrated kids’ books into live action movies.

Kids find it off-putting. Adults find it off-putting. You’d think maybe it’s a way to save on animation costs, but in the case of Timmy Failure, you have to CGI in a talking polar bear anyway.

Is there some tax incentive to filming live action movies? Favors owed to relatives I’d child actors?

Today's weird D&D situation: A vampire turned into a gas cloud. The PCs used a bellows to capture some of it, but couldn't get it all. In the moment, I imagined part of it would separate and continue floating away.

But I'm not exactly sure what would happen to a vampire that lost 2/3 of its volume while in another form. Like, is the consciousness equally distributed throughout the cloud? The only opinion I see out there about this is basically that it shouldn't be allowed to happen.

I thought of a couple of things not really backed by any precedent, but I guess I'll have to roll with one of them.

Files added to my pile of notes (formerly known as the Zettelkasten) recently:

Banking.md
Health insurance.md
Let's Have Fun Why Not.md
Medford High School.md
Metal EP.md
Tail calls.md
"The term \"information\" in physics.md"

I've been feeling like there's been too much serious adult stuff lately, but I guess I've been looking into a bit of fun stuff, too.

All of the flowers that have actually bloomed were not planted by us and not visible when we moved in, in fact.

Some flowers (that we didn’t plant) have come up.

Sometimes, I think I’d like to carry hot dogs around in a cigar case and just periodically open it up to chomp. Or just to show off my wealth!

A baby at the library is lifting up and slamming down a computer mouse.

Really, why doesn’t it work that way? Nothing about its form suggests sliding. Someone build the slammable mouse.

Earlier tonight, the guy and I searched for Bonus Cat for twenty minutes. In the end, he was here.

Someone in a podcast mentioned “DEI”. I always think that means Destroy Erase Improve at first.

Some people enter the technology industry to build newer, more exciting kinds of technology as quickly as possible. My keynote will savage these people and will burn important professional bridges, likely forcing me to join a monastery or another penance-focused organization. In my keynote, I will explain why the proliferation of ubiquitous technology is good in the same sense that ubiquitous Venus weather would be good, i.e., not good at all.

This is a long talk from four years ago, but I actually thought it just happened when I listened to it. A lot of people reading this will already understand what's dangerous about building technology that's not actually understood by those building it, but he says it in a way that's really funny and just drives home how crazy the current tech fervor really is. He says stuff like this:
The second mistake is that you connect this inscrutable thing to The Internet of Hate, often abbreviated as The Internet.
Worth having on in the background as you go about your day.

Was almost going to skip, but I did my PT back exercises. Trying to stay on the back health course!

Went further than normal to separate the grains of to-be-fried rice this time.
