The Computer History Museum remembers Donald Bitzer ^I read his obituary in the NYTimes yesterday and I had no idea who this guy was. He did so much great stuff!

Terrific read about Bluesky and some of the problems with social media in general by Katherine Alejandra Cross in LiberalCurrents. I’d quote some text but the whole thing is so great I think you should just read it! via

I had a pleasant week. I had Christmas Day and New Year’s Day off so that was nice.

I just started reading Confessions Of An Advertising Man a couple of days ago and will likely finish it this weekend. I read Ogilvy On Advertising a while back ‘cause I finally got into Mad Men and I wanted to read the other one and am finally getting around to it.

This weekend I’m gonna organize my file cabinet, drink lots of water, and eat right. Monday I start with the exercise. I’m at about 230lbs right now, and feel healthiest and strongest between 190 and 200. I want to get down there by the summer. I think that’s achievable.

Have a great weekend everybody!
