Summer in Hollywood

The Hollywood Bowl at sunset, as seen from the cheap seats
I can’t believe it is nearly August and I just hit this particular summer milestone. It was kind of a perfect night, and we were there with friends. 100% Recommended

A beautiful pair of homo sapiens, a woman and man in their 50s. Cheek to cheek, smiling at the camera, in bright sunshine in this vacation selfie.
Me (right) and my BFF/it's-complicated since high school, yesterday, Peaks Island, ME.

At first I had some dystopian visions of what this device might become floating around in my head and then I saw the folks less able than myself having transformative experiences...
I have a good friend who has a very rare form of late-onset muscular dystrophy, he is slowly but surely losing the use of all but a few key systems, and something like this might be what keeps him engaged and working longer than the rest of his body might allow for.

Strange women lying in cities distributing bicycles is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical velodromic ceremony.

So. Many. Dongles.

Five mac laptops stacked on top of one another and three ipads stacked on top of those. There are so many ports of various kinds facing the viewer.
Some of these are merely inherited. And some I already got rid of. I should maybe get rid of a few more.

hah, your title! i ALMOST put a few generations of dongles on top of my pile for shits 'n' giggles (including, yes, a firewire 400-to-800 for incredible timeliness)
I have two full bags of spaghetti, and more in a camera bag. Some isn't even bagged.
I worked in an Apple centric public school district that turned over most devices every three years. I left just shy of iPads going USB-C.
We had so. many. dongles.
It really was crazy. Then you add in Smartboards and Apple TVs etc and it was almost a joke how much stuff(cackles in VGA), that we went through.

Non Hallucinatory Ports

r/mac - Ports of MacBooks 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2024
weirdly, this makes me miss my 2008 polycarbonate mac (top of the stack). that was the one i actually lost (was stolen out of my car)
I managed to skip the generations with only USB-C ports, I am glad Apple took to their senses again.
I’m glad they re-added the MagSafe port, even with the unnecessary design changes over the years it’s a genuinely great idea.

a vertical triptych of old macintosh ports. the first two photos depict a stack of macbooks from 2006, 2011, 2012, and 2024, along with two ipods for flavor, photographed from the left and right sides to show their ports. the third photo is the ports on the back of a white imac g4

i too can (at least kinda) demonstrate the march of port progress in my still-not-discarded mac laptops, from ~2006 to now, plus a special guest appearance.
that "stack" in the first two photos, from bottom to top, not quite oldest to newest for the sake of stability, with a left and right side view:
2006 macbok pro
2011 macbook pro
2012 macbook pro
2024 macbook air (current machine)
2011 macbook air
last-gen ipod classic (160GB)
ipod shuffle
missing in action: my 2008 white polycarbonate macbook, which was stolen in 2011, and my ipad air 4, which was sitting on the couch
and, just for shits and giggles, photo 3 is the ports on the back of my somehow-still-existing 800mhz imac G4, which i keep meaning to plug in again just to have some vibes in the spare bedroom

Alas, I’ve gotten rid of most of my previous gear, or my stack would have gone back to a power computing clone and Quadra (plus the same white MacBook, my first laptop)
@wjcstp hah, honestly not having the hoard of previous gear is far far healthier IMO! that said, nice, to this day i've never seen one of those mac clones IRL

Reliability and simplicity made Minsk motorcycles a cult brand in Vietnam, which was the most extensive export market. Minsk motorcycles were among the Soviet motorcycles that were distributed by SATRA, UK, under the Minsk Saturn 125 and Cossack brand names from 1973 to 1979

Lunch

Bowl of ramen
Clear pig back broth, with a tare of mixed animal fats, tamari, fermented garlic, and mirin. Topped with nori, bonito, salmon furikake, togarashi, roasted hatch chili and New York steak.
Art, I'm really considering just showing up some random lunchtime 🤤
@jer you got to give me warning to make two, or be prepared to fight me for it.
@artwells Homemade ramen AND a brawl? Sir, don't threaten me with a good time.
This is fine.

A color photograph of two beachgoers on beach chairs under a sun umbrella (red and blue with the number 51 on it), surrounded by their strewn belongings. They are facing away from the camera and looking out over the lake. In the middle distance a child wearing a white t-shirt is on the shore. Across the lake, an enormous torrent of flame spews black smoke blotting out most of the sky.

I’ve been on that beach many times. Stark naked. The view wasn’t this spectacular, the eye watering and lung splitting smoke wasn’t present. It was just nice, vacation.

I worked swing/nights when I was 18. I'd just skip sleep Friday night.
@artwells For a couple of years I worked rotating 4-12s. Four days from 6 AM to 6 PM, then four off, then four nights from 6 PM to 6 AM, four off, rinse and repeat. Trying to sleep was impossible so we all just stayed drunk.
not enough time.

twilight zone episode scene of man standing on library steps after the end of the world, and his glasses are broken.
my to-be-read pile keeps growing! make it stop! i need time to get through them all! i'm almost at 200 books!
Just don't do what this bloke did, and try not to break your reading glasses.
If a to-be-read list is achievable, it’s not ambitious enough.
I just watched this episode during a recent TZ marathon!
Parade

Two guys moving a small hydraulic lift down a street, with Boston's Old North Church in the background. One of the guys is giving me some side-eye.
We had dinner in Boston's North End last night, and I tried to get a photo of the Old North Church, framed kind of nicely by the trees. These two guys were just moving this equipment down the street right then, and I shouted, stupidly "Hey, it's a parade!" That's what earned me this wonderful bit of side-eye.
Beautiful framing!
I love it just like it is, very Boston.

Damn I would love that one. Don't see it in their online store. Was just in the area a couple years ago, too.
They do have this one though, which would get some people wound up hereabouts...
