@kdfrawg You require a good cold snap/freeze over winter to get a respectable bulb to form though. If it's too warm or damp, you wind up with only the shoots being usable.

It's going to be interesting to see if I can get decent sized bulbs this far south.

@kdfrawg The Kinetics make buttoning up sleeves difficult. That pendulum just makes the daggon things so thick.

Think I'll have a go at planting garlic next fall.

This triggers my watch fetish. I've been looking at a Seiko Solar or some such. My Kinetic is just too friggin huge.

Tiffany has a watch I fell in love with but Sidekick would murder me if she saw the receipt.

Listening to Jimi Hendrix, doing the work thing and waiting patiently for 5:00PM.

The last AMD I used was, I swore, a tiny fusion reactor. The heat the thing generated was simply incredible. Had a solid copper heatsink and 10,000 RPM fan. The sink would be almost too hot to touch. The noise from the fan made my office sound like a staging area for an F15.

I wish I could remember which one it was. It'll come to me at approximately 2:00am tomorrow morning as those bits of useless trivial are wont to do.

That was routinely violated from day one.

Every time I go back to Twitter after an extended absence, it seems people are even more obnoxious than they were before.

Is there such a thing as peak obnoxious and could we reach that apex and maybe start moving the other direction?

@kdfrawg It certainly makes it difficult.

You'd get a buyer in my wife. She refuses to have a smart phone because she doesn't want some hunk of electronics reporting every aspect of her life to the gods of commerce.

Me? I use smart phones to "stick it to the man" by having the most boring and predictable life imaginable.
