A Lovely 10C Site!

I happen to see a lot of “3 good things that happened to you this year” so here goes:

Personally and professionally, 2017 was a very good year. (1) Very fun, (2) exciting and (3) I’m so grateful that I get to share ideas.

But on the other side, it’s been a challenging year generally and societal terms with the future of the country uncertain.

Other than that, I’m skeptical on what the future holds and 2018 will be a very critical year on where the US is headed. I hope by this time next year, things might get better but I realize that it can be a year where it can go all wrong.

I hope I can hold on to what I have now and enjoy the new year but nothing’s for sure in these times and it will only get harder.

Went ahead and finished the snowblow job that my neighbors failed to finish for some reason. Guess they have a failure of their own.

Keep in mind that this is not a apology since they still need to make money in terms of upgrading phones so they'll continue the intentional planned obsolescence even after this PR mess. [apple.com]

At least make the $29 battery replacement permanent. That would be a good first step.

@matigo Hope Nozomi is going to be okay, not fun.

Just pre-paid the rest of the January to June 2018 taxes to qualify for any deduction before the new GOP code takes effect.

Thanks Soulless GOP!

Great article! Going from 8086 to 80386 on DOS 3 is the most notable difference.

Here's a good 4,000 word piece per Road & Track on the future of motorsports and whether it can survive the 21st century. [roadandtrack.com]

@kdfrawg That was a very good bird you had there!

A very good Boxing Day thus far, getting into the football and going though some leftover boxes as usual.

@matigo It sure is.
