Saw the cherry blossoms in bloom, shopped at an excellent cheese shop, checked out an occult museum, now home for a beverage and keep the witchy theme with some of the new Sabrina.

Pro tip: I will eat all your chicken patties.

Anyone have a kobo ereader? How is it?

Cracking open the book "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" I got from the library as the ice cracks and settles in my gin drink I just poured, on my porch as a warm dusk brings in a rain storm.

How you doing 'verse?

"Add salt to taste."

That's the laziest cooking instruction. It could be applied to every ingredient of any recipe.

"Flan: add enough sugar, eggs, milk to make it taste good."

It's always the last instruction. I bet they got tired of writing the recipe at that point.

"...and finally, you know what fuck it add whatever salt you want."

need to sign up, but they didn't ask for every piece of personal info, I just gave them my email (garbage email for such spammy things) and it just immediately gave the links for digital ebooks.

Tor's ebook club is giving away Cory Doctorow's book Walkaway.

Read the story of people that are no longer needed by the "zotta-rich" who own all the automated production, so they "walkaway" and build their own communities with open-source versions of the very same automation technologies that rendered those people superfluous in the "default" world.

Let me regale you with the story about something that happened in one of my first jobs, simply because it just came to mind.

Dude: "Hi, I'm so and so, just want to introduce myself to the new intern."

Ed: "I'm a full engineer, not an intern."

Dude: "Oh, I just assumed because you're young and new here."

Ed: "I've been here 4 years."

Dude: "Ah, well you must sit on the other side of the facility so I haven't seen you before."

Ed: "I sit in the cube directly across from yours."

Dude: "Yeah..." *walks away*
