There is a chance I’ll be meeting David Byrne in the next half hour or so for a demo at out scene shop.
Cool!
My father's parents both naturalized a couple years before he was born, but their paperwork would definitely set off some automatic flags if it were ever run through a computer system -- his parents both experimented a bit with new "American" names (think like Wilhelm becoming Wallace, or things like that where the names aren't direct cognates), and they've got records using both names at different times.
Oh, aurelia, I hope that happened!
Miss Kitty is determined to teach me all the keyboard shortcuts. I can apparently lock my keyboard for cleaning, who knew? I don't know how to do it, but I know it can be done. And I very much appreciate that doing so puts a message telling you how to unlock it again on screen!
Ha! No kidding! Clever kitty.
That’s good design that it tells you how to unlock!
It really is. Somebody was using their noodle!
I did indeed meet David Byrne! My team got to make him dizzy with mirror balls.
Tomorrow should be the announcement that will explain why he is here. Tom Morello and the Governor will be there too.
Oooh. Everything about your post is pretty dang exciting, aurelia!
Sounds very neat, aurelia!
I'm finishing up Day 3 of a cold that makes me want to curl up and hibernate. I don't know if it's actually more severe than colds usually are, or if I've just been wimpified by barely ever catching anything since the beginning of the pandemic. But Don't Wanna! is my primary emotion.
