for We're Here and Pretty Organized
I don't have a lot of space int he house for my stuff, so when we bought some more storage, I claimed one for myself.
It houses all my Camera's, my analogue clock, our Internet electronics and in the "drawers" is some other bits and bobs.

for We're Here and Bleak
After we moved into our house here we seriously considered getting a cat instead of a dog.
Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
We figured it would be less maintenance, but in hindsight, so many other cats around .. would have been, possibly more drama and heartache.
New art on our wall today! We very infrequently get the chance to buy a piece of art directly from an artist we love. This is a piece titled "My Back Yard" by author, mathematician, and painter, Rudy Rucker. If you're a reader of fiction, you may know him as one of the founders of Cyberpunk and author of the Ware tetralogy. If you're a software geek, you may know him from his work on CelLab and other cellular automata software. His art has gained a following too. Rather than describe this piece myself, I'll borrow Rudy's description:
My Back Yard
Acrylic, 28" x 22", November, 2021
"I’ve mentioned before that I like old paintings that illustrate proverbs that have been forgotten. Unknown parables. Bosch’s The Cure of Folly and Bruegel’s Peasant and Bird Nester, his sinister Beekeepers, and his Misanthrope have this quality. Making a new painting of an unknown parable is a type of Surrealism. In this painting I started with a scene from my backyard, and added a squirrel, two chickens, and three somehow symbolic-looking bumblebees. Plus a cool towel with a mandala design. And a woman who’s perhaps hanging the towel, or perhaps painting something on the back of it. And deliberately with no explanation. The unknown parable of the towel!"
Thursday's rain turned the light panel above my desk at the office into performance art with flickering blue light and moving blobs of water.
so, back on November 13th 2020 I pre-ordered the Pixel 4a in the Google Store for Samuel's Christmas present. and the cool thing was, if you pre-ordered, then you get a promotion offer of free Bose QC 35 II headphones. it got a little complicated because you had to wait till 2 weeks after the phone arrived before being allowed to apply for the headphones. So finally 9th December 2020 I could apply. which I did. then it got really tedious. they would validate my application within 60 days (!!!). then they said they needed more evidence and screenshots etc. (on a very crappy website, no contact form or anything). very complicated. well, finally, 9th March 2021 (a speedy 4 months later) they finally arrived, yeah. and Samuel says they're excellent (and worth about 200€) which is great. just don't understand why they had to make it so frustratingly difficult.
Yay! Texas lowered the min age for shots and I got my first dose of Pfizer today at the UTSW vax clinic at Market Hall. It was fast, easy, painless, and free 💉🎉
The recent freeze may have killed some of our landscape plants but it looks like the Abelia will survive. I noticed new leaves sprouting today
I'm more of an old school headphones person but I'm employed by a subsidiary of JVC these days and they gifted us with some of their HA-A50T noise cancelling earbuds. I've been trying them out and they're not bad.
They paired right up with my Fedora gnu/Linux box and sound as good as my fancy Sony headphones. They also work well on my Pixel/Android phone. They came with a cool little earbud sarcophagus that has its own battery for recharging the earbuds.
