So Pentagon bans photographers from SecDef briefing… I bet has everything to do with Colin Jost’s impression.

I wonder if these betting markets have a proffer on the likelihood of a tactical fissionable weapon being used in the current conflict? If so, who will employ it?

Just look at that beautiful URL with the ~/

Sigh. We’ve lost so much since the 1990s. Leave it to Knuth to do two things at once.

I use Claude but forgot I left on push notification authorization testing out image generation stuff last fall. Today it abused that authorization to send me this. So, yoink! Also, the winter games have been over for a week or more! Feels like a test that got out in the wild.

Commandos. That’s a word we don’t hear often. Maybe we should hear it less

I saw an ad for LinkedIn a few minutes ago that said that you can *easily* search and apply for jobs there. I reported the ad as misleading and/or containing false information.

In The Blink Of An Eye just gave me warm fuzzies. Andrew Stanton has a knack for this kind of story I think. Worth a watch if you have the time.

Oops! … She Did It Again.

At the hospital again today for Dad and finally home and looking at the Neo. Seems quite interesting. The other day after the new MBA announcement, I put my 2025 MBA serial number into the store to see what they would offer as a trade in. $155 bucks for a Mac I bought in late August. Really? It’s in perfect shape.

Fantastic! As usual I wake up two hours after an Apple Event! First time? WWDC 2004.

Being a pilot, and military legacy, I think about costs. Three F-15 strike eagles accident shot down is maybe around $150+ million in equipment cost? Thank the maker all the pilots survived. Still… getting shot out of a cockpit at ludicrous speeds really takes a toll.

@ike@pkm.social A good recommendation would be take him to museums and let him pick out a plane or model for himself from the gift shop. Building Lego planes was always a fun Dad/son activity. He can recognize the beautiful roar of a P-51D Merlin engine even now. Trying to encourage him to get his A&P now actually.

So… there are US military KIA now. Which I translate to mean pilots, aviators and/or sailors.

My heart is breaking. I hope it was worth it.😞

Huh. So… do I install Xcode 26.3 or wait for 26.4 and next week? Ugh.

I’m sorry Bill. I’m pretty sure we don’t want you to buy the Seahawks at this point. Maybe Melinda? She’d be awesome at it.

@ike@pkm.social Yep. You’re his pop. You’re his whole world. He’s gonna see the world through your eyes. It took me a while to get that. My guys first word besides Dada was “airpane” as he pointed up a plane going into SeaTac. They become what we show them. Here is how he looks then and now.
