Hah! Love the cakes, memes, biscuit-related nonsense, and the well wishes. Actually made me smile. I actually didn't have a biscuit; I've only had 1 biscuit (when I was in Chattanooga last month), where they can actually make them. Going to go watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 (and/or Obsession) tomorrow, and perhaps have a meal or something. Today, the dogs have made sure to be extra handsome and/or beautiful and/or cute today to celebrate, which is always a delight.

Hard to believe this came out in 1972. It still seems ahead of its time in 2026. Ex.

Happy Birthday, Brent 2024's Prompt, 2026's Model.

I had her new album in my queue and then this showed up. so Let X=X by Laurie Anderson (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/syta310h4wo50 Example - Just the album opener: Always a treat to have more Laurie.

Every 3-4 years I listen to Paul Simon's The Rhythm of the Saints, and with apologies to Graceland which I love, but has never quite resonated the same, think it's international mix fills a hole no other album does or likely ever will. I'll listen to a dozen or so times in quick succession and promptly stop again. Two times today... so far. Maybe you will find a love That you discover accidentally Who falls against you gently As a pickpocket Brushes your thigh Further to fly

Belated Happy Birthday, Rob!

You can look but you can't touch! Have a good one nonetheless, Brent. Cheers!

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Happy Birthday, Brent!

Happy Birthday Brent. Sorry I didn't have time to get together in Seattle.

Happy Birthday, Brent!

Happy birthday, Brent!

Mediocre BBQ in Iowa City Forgot to say it was a brisket platter and a ribeye with various sides

Very Happy Birthday!

Hope you ace it all today.

Happy Birthday, Brent! I wish it’s a great one

Happy Birthday!

Point the first: Generative AI is the devil. Point the second: Locally generated (as in on one's personal machine) is the devil we know. Point the third: I told point the second to render "A Mexican in his mid 40s, with a beard, celebrating his birthday. His head is a giant biscuit." It shat out this: Point the fourth: I am now more afraid of AI than I was before. Point the fifth: Feliz cumpleaños, FATHEAD.

Robert Fripp @ 80, the series (not just the intro, there's already a couple episodes out) I won't say one of my biggest influences, but I am deeply fascinated with everything he thinks, says, and does -- I want to be influenced by him, but that's a rather high bar -- so will definitely be watching this series with interest.

Epilogue...

Tom Harrell. "5"

I'm not an EV guy, but the lines on these are very nice. My buddy has one a few years old in the metallic green and it's a stunner. I do understand that, I want to say 2020 or 2021...the earlier ones are the ones you see used mostly and that's for a reason. The slightly newer ones improved a good bit from what I heard. Enjoy...it's a rental HS

I have a Taycan as a loaner while the Boxster is in the shop for a warranty repair. I kind of hated Macan EV, but I love this! These drive so so so well. Even in the base "4" trim it is quick, cruises beautifully, and is a wonderful place to watch the miles tick by. I honestly think most people I know who will never go to the track would be happier in one of these than something like a 911. If you want to go bombing on public roads, these things rock. If all you do is street drive, you can ignore the sports cars. Porsche is doing a lot of trickery with torque vectoring to help these things go around corners. The traction and stability control you can get in an EV is on a totally different level. This is not a pure driving experience and if you come from one of the sports cars you will feel it any time you get close to the limit. Still, no one will ever track these so it really doesn't matter. Sub limit handles great. I am impressed. The price on these things new is eye watering, but used or CPO I may have to keep my eye open in the future. This is an amazing daily driver. The higher trim ones must just be ballistically fast. It has all the power and speed of the performance Teslas only its from a company who knows how to make a properly fast car. If only they didn't cost so much.

My coach at Laguna had these. I love them.

RIP Rapper Rob Base, known for 'It Takes Two,' dies at 59 after private battle with cancer. I was there in '88 when this dropped. It turns out he was internationally known.

I'm having trouble finding a news source, but I learned (from Toby Marks of Banco De Gaia of all people) that Dick Parry died. He was a hell of a session musician, best known for his work with Pink Floyd. His sax solos are legendary.
