I really enjoy asking The Guide about various things. This one is 'coffee'. Read the alt text for the entire entry.

The app now has the copy/paste feature, which is quite liberating.

Press the green button once and it says, "please don't press this button again"

A second press will give a perplexed look and a 3rd press will close the app.

This is what I've been working on for the last week or so... An Android app of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I trained ChatGPT to take on the persona of The Guide.

Unfortunately, because of copyright, this is only for my personal use.

This is what The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has to say about doctors.

Enjoy your day!

@faithross.bsky.social, our younger son, and I visited the Ocmulgee Mounds National Park. While there, I found the textbook used by my old professor, Dr. Charles Hudson, the book's author (in 1995). I didn't keep the original because it was so expensive and I needed the $.

I don't want to replicate the Wand Co. Tric, but it is a nice reference. The addition of an #adafruit RTC makes it so.

Of course, mine isn't quite a prop, so there's that.

Just about to read, "Beyond the God Particle" by Leon Lederman and Christopher T. Hill.

A note to #Congress and #Senate - check out who they thanked!

#Tricorder readings indicate a solar storm and Aurora activity is very high.

Please protect all sen-sors against solar bombardment!

Apparently this company takes lessons from the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation... "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes".
