I love the music of Michael Jackson, the comedy of Bill Cosby, and the biting brilliance of Scott Adams’ comics. I also accept the uncomfortable reality that each of these men had deeply ugly sides. That knowledge hasn’t erased my appreciat

As an AWS shareholder, I applaud this. The org suffers from several systemic issues: entrenched tenured employees coasting on accumulated RSUs who resist change, middle management engaged in territorial conflicts/fiefdom turf wars that

I bought an MPP1000C 300 Baud rate modem for my Atari 800 which connects via joystick port, as a teen, after saving up for months. Some amazing BBSing memories were had. ATASCII animations FTW!
