I’ve got good spatial reasoning, so I can think through a project in my head, but it helps to layout the conceptual design. I’ve got some understanding of Autocad’s Fusion 360, but I prefer Powerpoint for this kind of work. Powerpoint has pretty powerful and intuitive functions for drawing things.

I have a blog because I got a dog. Sparky is a great dog and I can go on about him. I have a blog so I can write about having a dog without boring everyone to death. I can’t imagine how a mundane article like this gets column space in the Wall Street Journal, but of course I read it.
I am not now, nor have I ever been, a dog person. One of my earliest memories of a dog is from when I was around 5 years old and a neighbor’s golden retriever knocked me face-first into the concrete.
It is “virtually certain” that July is going to be the world’s warmest month since records began, according to scientists.

Those major cities are places where it often gets above 100 F in the summer, so no real surprise.
“I’m usually an early adapter,” said Wiesen, 46 years old. “It might be the gadget part of me that made me buy it, but it’s also the safety aspect.”
Weisen is self-aware enough to know that it’s a novelty.
USNews: DOT Changes Accessibility Rules
Pete Buttigieg and his Department of Transportation just made up new rules to make air travel more expensive and unpleasant for everyone. How can federal bureaucrats do this with no oversight or accountability?
I underestimated my sneaky puppy. This morning, I posted about Sparky being a picky eater, but he’s way beyond that. Before taking Sparky out for his evening walk, I saw this.
That’s something that was supposed to be theoretically impossible. A beagle looking wistfully out the window while a bowl of food is right there.
Wild Thing is like the It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World of music videos. You have to be of the era to understand just how amazing it is. It can’t be explained to anyone younger. I don’t know what would be comparable today.
