People talk about "San Francisco values" being liberal, but for me it's started to mean, "conservative libertarianism, but make it casual". It's going to be a problem. Ayn Rand in a hoodie is not going to invent the future.

It's such a Windows ME thing to do, but I've set my desktop to rotate through pictures of my mother every 30 minutes, and I love it. Every time I quit an application or lock my computer I see a photo that makes me happy. Highly recommended.

My targeted ads over on corporate media:
- A $1000+ coffee machine that likely makes coffee like a $100 machine
