Remember the other goddam memo you sent last week to look in every nook and cranny and office couch and vending machine for money for your GODDAM wall?
I put a list of items I want to buy into my phone.
- Back scratcher - Glass wipes - Magnifying glass - Earplugs - Camera batteries
Then, when GPS detects I'm 25 yards from a store that has one of those, flag me. I can snooze or make the purchase.
Another:
I want a small tile that does nothing but read temperature (do me a water detector as well) that I can stick anywhere and set alarms on my phone and stuff. I'll put one near the stove and I want a perimeter alarm to go off if the ambient temp is above 120F when I'm driving off.
The hardware needs to be cheap so I can buy a bunch.
I'm a photographer and I have 12 cameras set out around the property. Neighbours ask why so many and I point to my T-shirt that says, "PHOTOGRAPHER."

... designing hardened systems.
America is not willing or able to design innovative cyber defenses.
... either ban the practice or shut the fuck up.
I agree with you and here's the scariest part:
The American people are still driving the truck.
The way to shut this motherfucker up is to make goddam sure he doesn't survive the next election cycle.
It's not that Americans don't matter, it's that they just don't care.
Well, if we're going all out, that fucking Republican has a job in Arizona, doesn't he?
Bullshit.
Trump brought the goddam swamp with him. Mueller's doing the draining.
I agree and would add that Americans are in control.
If they choose to sleep at the wheel and let government run on autopilot, that's control by proxy.
Love the reference.
Reverse that, OK?
My DNA, obviously, is important to these bastards. Let them pay ME .
It's my IP. Either I created it or it's an "act of God."
I declare it part of my estate, as well.
I'm sorry you're ill.
Get better soon, OK?
I mean that.
... coke head in chief.

Cool. You picked up on the ruse.
Iran said that before you did, though.
We get it: You know every Democrat.
Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.
Mobil Oil, ca. 1986. We had a fractional T1 connecting Beaumont, Dallas and Reston, Va.
I was senior network engineer in Beaumont. Got a call from Dallas that a hacker* was crawling all over the place.
I pulled the Ethernet cable on my Cisco router while I was on the phone.
Reston started calling, freaking out. It never occurred to the other blokes that bad guys ride wires.
*The hacker was actually a Joe Cool Kollidge Kid working for us who hooked Mobil to Lamar University in Beaumont to his home computer.
Ah, the learning days. I miss those.
Sadly, I'm 73 years old, and a retired IT guy.
Past my prime (Einstein IIRC was 26), I expended my brilliance mastering Lotus 123 macros and, later, Microsoft Access database.
I spent my learning time honing the skills I needed to be the best among my peers.
I have no desire to do a deep dive into apps, though I do extremely admire those who do that.
I truly need a geeky grand nephew or niece to step up and design for me. They are too busy avoiding vaccinations.
"Sorry about that, OK? We are with you. We are strong. We will not be intimidated."
"Thanks for coming. Coffee on the white table; tea on the blue."
"Till next time? ..."
It was classic WWII. Storm troopers anyone?
"ad hominem" comes to us from the Greeks (ca. Moby Dick was a minnow) and is a concatenated corruption of the phrase, "advertisement for pre-humans."
We have found those in billboard form in some caves and stuff.

Let me know when my stuff's ready.
The plot lines for westerns is formulaic and still around. Star Wars is a good example.
There are good guys and bad guys, mystery, romance, and conflict.
Rinse, repeat.
The trend these days is to forego creativity and reboot old products and inject them with steroids.
Still, even with CGI, the plot remains the same.
I agree about super heroes.
Marvel reinvented origins and introduced, say, Supergirl who actually, according to the story line, preceded Superman and stuff.
The crossovers and mixes are terrible. And the goddam stable of superheroes and villains is ridiculous.
The effect is similar to what happened to 3D: If the story line sucks, no amount of makeup is going to save the offering.
It's not that I do't care about your remark, it's just that it doesn't matter.
Game's over and the score has been recorded.
Draft some politicians that won't piss off the Pope and stuff.
... for Trump to tap for his wall.
... funding for human trafficking programs ...
You left out product liabilities.
When children's eyes are blinded by porn that jumped the wall, who's responsible?
It will be fun, because all the pockets are deep.
