I just bought a new mac mini. Now I have to plug it into: power a monitor a keyboard a mouse But I have all of those things on my MacBook Pro. Is it crazy to think that if I plug a mac mini into a MacBook Pro it should be able to power it, display its video output, and provide its keyboard and its trackpad?
r/boardgames: My collection I have a version of this up in my games room. It’s funny. But I’ve concluded I did have a problem. There’s no way I can play even a tenth of the games in my collection. And my friends have lots of games too. I could have a handful of games and never have a shortage of great games to enjoy. Modern marketing is so potent, I’ve seen so many people spend their fortune on…
Ploum: How We Lost Communication to Entertainment I completely agree with Ploum. Back when Facebook and Twitter started taking off with regular people, I tried for a long time to resist using the term “social media”. I would always correct people and say “it’s not social media, it’s a social network”. This was before we lost what Ploum describes as the old-school mentality that valued lossless…
Four days ago, this previously unseen Steve Jobs interview appeared. I enjoyed watching it. It was recorded on November 22, 1996. Today is the 29th anniversary of that interview! That day was the day before Cheryl and I were married, in Edmonton. Around 9 years ago I wrote here about the many ways that time of my life was significant… it was just before ~NeXT acquired~ Apple acquired NeXT, just…
I wanted to share it with you. I’ve been playing Disc Golf since 2015, so I’m surprised I hadn’t seen this short video from 1993 before. No wonder he was able to inspire so many people to take up this incredibly fun and rewarding game.
I’m not sure I’ve ever mentioned TCA (The Composable Architecture) on the blog, though it is mentioned on my /about/ page. I started using TCA before it was even released, adopting it in the summer of 2019 as it was being built through the initial series of episodes on Point-Free . I started using it professionally in September 2019, before it was even open-sourced. I’ve been using it…
Watching USA vs. Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off Let me just say I’ve never been happier to have Brad Marchand on my side. Update: 1 minute in and it’s already the best hockey game I’ve ever seen. I’m ready to throw down myself. 🇨🇦
Because this is where we’re at now… Made in CA: Canadians, spend your money wisely.
Earlier this week my weekly gaming group was playing Marvel Champions: The Card Game . We’ve been using its cardboard damage dials to track damage and threat, but frankly we’ve been pampered by Gloomhaven Secretariat when we play Frosthaven , and I missed that level of convenience when playing Marvel Champions. I boasted I could make a basic web app for next week. That night when I got home, the…
According to UDisc I played 108 rounds of disc golf, up from 100 rounds in 2023. This is somewhat impressive because I didn’t play between July 25th and August 25th because I had arthroscopic knee surgery at the end of July. I finished the year with 286 birdies, 946 pars, 270 bogeys, 61 double bogeys, and 6 triple-or-worse bogeys. At the end of this year, UDisc announced their own ratings system.…
