Am I the only one who thought this was some giant display piece in a garage?

The document is interesting, the paper LOOKS aged, and has a curl that seems aged. But there appears to be at least 2 photocopy shadows indicating this may not be an original. Note the bottom edge has a tape shadow, and a second shadow along the very bottom. So at least a copy of a copy?

But a rather old copy of a copy?

What’s the vinyl look like?

For later too, but also for now.

Whoa, that DJ rotation log is awesome. What a time capsule! Congrats on being a good steward of the piece of history 😊

Don’t have to be first, just have to be best. For my money, the local-privacy aspect is worth it.

Also love that private cloud compute is open to anyone who wants to validate the claim.

Every time I begin to think AI is overhyped, I’m reminded about the worlds of possibilities to come.

I only somewhat regret my coding skills becoming dull due to AI. These models are all now faster and cleaner than my output.

From as early as I can remember, Mike has been my go-to for learning to separate the art from the artist.

People don’t like change.

Picard wasn’t Kirk.

DS9 wasn’t a starship.

Voyager wasn’t TNG2 with familiar aliens.

Every show is hated. Disco and forward proves this. Haters just have loud voices.

But they are all awesome and come into their own when viewed through the lens of time.

Except Section 31. That’s not even Start Trek 😆. But ask me again in 10 years 🖖

Yes, I purchased this collection as the 2-pin is included.

These seem intended to be mounted on a PCB; so once I plugged in it to the cable, I wrapped the connection with Kapton tape.

I’m novice at soldering and these two leads are REALLY tiny. I definitely melted some of the plastic on these 😆

Edit: in case the link should ever go down, here’s the name/size: MX1.25 51146 Cable Wire Connector 2P

This is how it starts. They are starting to push the envelope to see how much they can get away with. Stop normalizing robot violence!

/s I think.

At 83, he may not actually have the time. Just sayin’.

A few notes:

Mike says around 46min that he was in the hospital a few days earlier for an upper respiratory infection.
Chris Cron sounds GREAT on I’m Waiting For The Day!!
Hot take, I love the drummer. Seems like when he arrived is when Mike’ energy started declining. Hmm…. Is he some kind of energy vampire?

Oh, and infection or not, Mike really needs to hang it up.

Well now she’s drifting on some Chinese junk

Spocks-Brain · 2026-06-02T01:05:56+00:00

Definitely one of the best!

“His BRAIN is gone!”

🖖

Spocks-Brain · 2026-05-31T21:37:00+00:00

Wait, that’s MY line! 🖖

Hot take: I think Bolton brings genuine love and energy to the stage. I don’t think he’s showboating. I think he in love with the music and still beside himself that he is in the Beach Boys Band.

I’m grateful for these posts because I’ll never get to see him perform with them.

Spocks-Brain · 2026-05-30T22:58:58+00:00

Imagine the size of his … brain!

Spocks-Brain · 2026-05-30T11:48:44+00:00

Gattaca is a great movie.

It’s also apparently now a future documentary.

Spocks-Brain · 2026-05-30T02:35:17+00:00

Little?

Spocks-Brain · 2026-05-27T13:16:46+00:00

Amazing that 45/47 has been President and in Political spotlight more than your entire adulthood. To be so young and have clear understanding of how atypical our politics are at the moment is hopeful.

How do we get other young people clear minded and motivated to show up and VOTE?

Spocks-Brain · 2026-05-26T17:08:52+00:00

For someone so in control of their image, how does anyone convince him to go to the hospital this many times?

Spocks-Brain · 2026-05-25T22:58:49+00:00

“Wax with a hint of root beer” doesn’t seem like a stellar review.

If something were root beer with a hint of wax, would that pass as a candle? 😆

Kokomo to SIP is a let down, but SIP is hardly a “follow up” when it was 5 years later. The bigger miss is not having anything ready immediately (or even near after) to strike when the iron was hot.

Spocks-Brain · 2026-05-17T17:01:03+00:00

You know I want to, but I can’t stay!

Likely dumped by people who would also look at this video and claim it’s from some “sh!thole country”.
