Another gift from yesterday, a #Casio pb-700 with a whopping 4kB of ram. -
This post did not contain any content.I was watching a video and in it the guy searched the web for an image of a giant snapping turtle for his creepy diorama. Looking at the old image results and how useful and uncluttered with garbage they were just five years ago filled me with a sadness.

Outside work I see half a peanut seed slowly drifting across the sidewalk.I don't always think "more ants" helps with the task in the ways we expect. It's more like when they reach an obstacle each ant will do a different thing and with more ants ONE of them is more likely to get it to work.
Also I think they just like to do things together even if it's less efficient.

Someone has suggested LLMs are "good for writing summaries" but today I wrote a summary of all 38 chapters in "The Book I Can't Talk About Until it is Done" and this really helped me put them in order better and decide what I need to write next, cut an...Well that, and I am not giving the Demon Machine my precious writing. No.

Next I will do a character sheet and describe all of the characters. That should help me check that they make sense as real people among other things.

Just having the summary done wouldn't have done this. And reading the summary wouldn't either.
I may never look at the summary again. Making it was the point.

"Some of you have noticed, as have I, that human staff will sometimes say 'no' This is very vexing."Some of you have noticed, as have I, that human staff will sometimes say 'no' This is very vexing. What could it mean? After careful study I have determined this word probably means 'later' or 'I want to so badly, but don't know how, because I'm but a simple-minded human' or perhap it is just another meaningless person noise. It's not important. Keep giving clear instructions and your staff will get it eventually."

Unreasonably cute wasp collects pebbles for four min.Ants are technically just wingless (mostly wingless) wasps.
Like "fish" the category of wasp is complicated.

Unreasonably cute wasp collects pebbles for four min.I do not know the shape of happiness in the hymenopteran mind, but I think she must be. She is making progress on her important pebble project.
-
Unreasonably cute wasp collects pebbles for four min.Her movements are so precise and purposeful. She is industrious and yet unhurried. Bugs carrying pebbles will NEVER not be cute to me.
"I need to put this over here"
I will think about this wasp as inspiration as I work.

Happy #caturdayI love when they do this. "I see you are using your cat petters, on this... thing, I'm right here you know?"

How is it possible for the tea tree to produce so many subtle flavors and aromas.This is the kind of experience that makes people weird about tea. The aroma and taste are shaped by the plant, how it's grown, where it is grown, how it is harvested, how it's processed, how it's packed and how it is stored.
All of these variables make every tea different, and every tea you own changes as each day passes because they age into new and unexpected flavors.
The possibilities are endless.

The oolong we are having today has the aroma of a wild honey, sweet but also floral, but the taste has a hint of hot rocks a mineral taste, and of course the bitter and lightly woody taste of the tea itself.
This isn't an herbal tea. HOW does this happen?

Do I have a busy season ahead, with a bunch of projects and deadlines?Would you call this a fairisle pattern? Anyway I love it.

Was out walking and got mesmerized by this cornerThis is where you get one of those haunted typewriters that makes you compulsively write the story of the unsolved murder of a private eye who found out too much about how the city really works.
And now you have found out too much too!

Please consider the concept of a little dirt ant with an even smaller tiny flower-like moss growing on her head.Please consider the concept of a little dirt ant with an even smaller tiny flower-like moss growing on her head.
She moves slowly to blend in to the leaf litter.
