A cartoon with two panels. In each panel is a speaker at a podium and a crowd of people. In the first panel the speaker says "Who of you hates windows?" and the entire crowd raises their hand. In the second panel, the speaker says "And who would stop using it and switch to Linux?" and nobody raises their hand.

21 years ago I had a life-saving liver transplant. In honor of this milestone, I ask you to register to be an organ donor. It’s free and it could save the lives of a dozen people someday. I wouldn’t be here without the generosity of my donor’s family. I think of him every day.

Post you from a different era

Brian in a restoration era white shirt, red linen pants. He has long black hair and stares intently at the camera. The backdrop is a tent and woods. He looks kinda like a pirate or something.

44. RISE OF ENDYMION by Dan Simmons

It's been a long ass time since I got so immersed in a new world. Absolutely phenomenal conclusion to the quartet (Cantos, if you will). Loved it from start to finish. There's a reason this is one of the top sci-fi series of all time!

You know what you don’t see on bulletin boards at local restaurants?

Actual orthopedic surgeons and actual doctors with actual medical degrees based on actual science.

The Sopranos is definitely worth watching.

I realized years ago I’ve had these pop culture gaps, so I’ve made an effort to “catch up.” Watched all the Rocky movies last year, recently finished the Alien movies. Haven’t seen Dirty Dancing 😱
