It’s weird Alphabet hasn’t released an Android emulator.
Anorien
The Nine have left Minas Morgul on the North-South Road. They still ride through Gondor, disguised as riders on black horses.
Gaindalf
I’m going to start going to the gym dressed as Gandalf, Wizard of Iron.
Cryptic Warnings
The Book of Treacherous Prophecy says, “When you get to the fork in the road, go left.”
Player 1: “That’s confusing.”
Player 2: “It’s a prophecy. You know how they try to mislead you.”
Player 3: “Hey! We’ve come to a fork in the road.”
P1: “Just like the prophecy foretold! What do we do?”
P2: “We go left.”
P3: “But what does ‘left’ mean?”
P2: “I don’t know. You know how those prophecies mislead you.”
P1: “Left is the opposite of right, right?”
P3: “Right.”
P1: “And the book wants us to go left.”
P2: “Right.”
P1: “So we should go the opposite way.”
P3: “Right!”
P2: “To the right!”
P3: “Good thinking all around!”
Players fight a dragon. Truly, the book is treacherous.
Weather
Snow is nice.
University
Going to graduate school is weird. You pay the school a ton of money to let you work really hard.
On the other hand, a decent power supply is about a thousand bucks, and sometimes I just need three of them. And a scope. Sig gen. HPC. Coffee machine. Floor buffer. Overhead lights. Trash service. Box of stepper motor driver boards. Ovaltine.
They don’t have Ovaltine. I bring my own.
Pets
I should get a goat.
Make Progress
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Good is better than nothing.
Sleep
I went to bed early, slept like the dead, and woke up for my day at midnight.
Comcast
I don’t know if I can truthfully say Comcast is my internet service provider.
‘I pay Comcast for internet service,’ is as far as I can go.
