I work as a Technical Director for cartoons, mainly Python. Also did all IT duties at Tangent Animation in Winnipeg, including deploying and automating the render farm.

My wife subscribed to a magazine for a year, Country Living I think, and a $62 charge labelled "Hearst Membership" just appeared on this month's bill. She actually remembers saying no to the "membership thing" when she…

Basically Google's search results are never not trying to sell me something anymore, and where I used to be able to get useful results by pruning the query with -whatidontwant modifiers, these days I just can't get the…

I mess around with writing sometimes and I was just gazing at some pics of a PDP-8 - so gorgeous, and clearly the real world inspiration for all the "panel of blinking lights" computers we watched in 70s-80s SF. Got me…
