Writing this headline about this out-of-this-word presentation marking a monumental technical achievement reiterates that WSJ has given up writing credible accounts of reality for regular people to read.

A long time ago, in a Premier League far, far away…
Before VAR.
Before social media.
Before £100m footballers.
There was moi
28 August 1994 —
3 goals. 4 minutes 33 seconds.
(Still the best in my eyes,sorry Sadio)
The fastest Premier League hat-trick ever at the time. Something I'm still incredibly proud of ... @LFC ❤️

At David Niven’s funeral the largest wreath was from the porters at Heathrow Airport. The card with it read “To the finest gentleman who ever walked these halls. He made a porter feel like a king”

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier.
This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!
