I wrote an #iOS app in #RubyMotion for BlindAlive, a company providing audio workouts for the blind. Sadly, they will go out of business at the end of the year. Writing the app has inspired me to work on a meditation app during 2019.

"OK, let's recap the movie so far. Someone went to Acapulco, and somebody almost bought gas." #MST3KTurkeyDay

It feels great to watch the #MST3KTurkeyDay celebration! https://www.shoutfactorytvlive.com/

I've seen a lot of weird movies on #MST3K, and Cry Wilderness definitely belongs on the list.
"It was horrible! They played the same public domain animal sound effects record at sunset every day."

Due to health reasons I finally got around to catching up on #MST3K. After watching Reptilicus I consider it as good as the original.
"The stock exchange!"
"We'll feed him some information then nail him for insider trading."
"Time to break up the big banks. Literally!"

Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis and Butt-head, took Matt Stone and Trey Parker to dinner when they began creating South Park and gave them the following advice:

"Don't let people take advantage of you, because they're dumb."

The head of the #Wordpress #accessibility team has resigned. This does not bode well for the future, and affects blind developers as well.

I feel so glad I switched to #Jekyll last summer! I'll take Emacs over a web editor any day.

"The basic concept of a space elevator is sound." Now where have I heard that before? #SunRa https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/colossal-elevator-space-could-be-going-sooner-you-ever-imagined-ncna915421

I woke with a headache, but really want to go to this show tonight.

Happy #Equinox!

I have gotten really into #Qigong over the last five months. It has helped bring my eye pain under control. You can enjoy a free Qigong online summit for the next few days. https://QigongGlobalSummit.com

My favorite late night talk show returns October 1st! The Kingdom of Nye with Heather Wade: https://TheKingdomOfNye.com

The developers of the #Mastodon appsneed to step up their #accessibility. I'll try to file a few issues but don't wait for me. Label those buttons! Let me know if you would like me to test any updates. Let's make Mastodon usable by everyone!

@liz7 Hi Liz! Welcome to the party!

've decided to learn a functional programming language. I enjoyed #Lisp in college so have considered #Clojure and maybe a #Scheme dilect. Some friends have tried to conince me to go with #Elixir, especially because I already do a lot of work in #Ruby. I do appreciate the elegant Lisp syntax and its rich history.

Speaking of H/P/A, a friend triggered her work's firewall by trying to listen to this weird piece of audio from the Phone Losers of America. http://www.phonelosers.org/media/Relay_Operators_Summer_Nights.mp3
