"Damn, it's 1:20pm" Says my son from the back seat. "We don't have anywhere to be." I reply. "I am in a hurry for Christmas". 🎄

The rare times I use a Windows machine it astounds that it serves me advertisements via the notification system. Just incredible.

I liked the texture of the painted brick on this wall in Steubenville, OH.

My son pronounced Bosnia as 'Bonzaneer' and now that's what I call it.

Ordered a desktop managed switch to replace my little Netgear that died and now my advertising recs seem to suggest this is a new and exciting start of a collection

Worst my wipers started making a noise about like Yoda as the snow apparently had glue in it

1" of snow in about an hour, which isn't a lot but the whiteout conditions were not fun.

Voyager's computer systems were custom-built using 1960s technology, with clock speeds measured in KHz and RAM in kbytes, running hand-crafted software, crammed into 4K of 18-bit wide plated-wire memory (similar to but better than core mem).

And yes, it uses digital 8-track tape for storage.

The custom-designed hardware, (upgraded) software and instruments are mostly still functioning after 46 years in space!
