November’s mask is coming off. The air grows ever colder. Yet the birds linger; I saw a cardinal dash across the sky, and I expect him to spend the winter hanging out with me. The crows are starting to roost in the trees as they grow barer. They always remain here until the rivers and lakes thaw. I should buy them some cat food…
I have a piece written about some of the shows I have watched in the past few months. A sort of “media monday” roundup. I’m not sure if I’ll post it or not though. It’s just a snide rant about average or worse television (with some bright spots). I’m tempted to do it to actually get this blog up and running properly, but that’s also kind of bad reason to do things. It’s also, weirdly, the best reason to do things. Just get on with it.
I have toys to share soon too. A little flag quiz app. I spent way too much time working out how to download the information from the wikimedia API and facet it for quizzes, but it’s a delightfully nerdy (and difficult) thing to test yourself with. I want to do something similar for bird calls, but it’s a little more involved. I also have a “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” gauntlet quiz started. These new fangled frontend technologies seem so overdone, but one must stay sharp in the engineering game. I have many other projects but these are the closest to being playable.
In time, Beaunauts. In time. Alohas
