The original full, unedited taping of the moment the Dancing Pumpkin Man was born. Because the taping was an unplanned and spontaneous race to get something together quickly for that night’s broadcast on Omaha’s KXVO 10:00 News (CW), the game-plan was to dance for the entire song and see what came out. This is all of it, though only the first 1 minute and 15 seconds were used on-air.
Historical Note #1: You can hear Matt Geiler say “Go” just before the camera rolls.

Earlier in the year, I cut out coffee entirely because it was getting out of hand. Coming home on edge and going off on people wasn’t going well for me.
When I started my new job, I noted here that it was a “free work drug zone” - coffee available in several places in the building in those kind of carafes you see in the back of a hotel meeting room. Made from ground beans that come from a sealed package. I have made a pact with this coffee: I will drink it, but no refills after noon. Sometimes i get a refill at 11:30, but that’s all.
I have also occasionally indulged in French press coffee at home on weekends. I can understand how i got into trouble with it: BIG difference in quality and kick. I am vibrating now.
That is all.

When I was growing up, tonight was known as Devil’s Night. The kid version was soaping windows, throwing toilet paper in trees, maybe tossing some eggs. [edit: and ringing doorbells and running.]
Older kids and grown up were burning down houses downtown. Basically the “trick” part.
Did anyone else have anything like that?

I don’t buy games for mobile very often. Todayi got this game on discount because one review said it was worth it just for the music.
I guess I could have saved $2. Maybe I’ll play the game anyways…

Do any of my geek friends use Rust?
25 years ago, my friend Jeff Jeffry Archambeault tried to get me to learn Python when it just seemed to be a running game Monty Python joke. Rust seems to have just popped up recently.

“Stop making excuses.”
The world spends an astounding US$423 billion annually to subsidize fossil fuels for consumers – oil, electricity that is generated by the burning of other fossil fuels, gas, and coal. This is four times the amount being called for to help poor countries tackle the climate crisis, one of the sticking points ahead of the COP26 global climate conference next week, according to new UN Development Programme (UNDP) research.
The amount spent directly on these subsidies could pay for COVID-19 vaccinations for every person in the world, or pay for three times the annual amount needed to eradicate global extreme poverty. When indirect costs, including costs to the environment, are factored into these subsidies, the figure rises to almost US$6 trillion, according to data published recently by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Instead, UNDP’s analysis highlights that these funds, paid for by taxpayers, end up deepening inequality and impeding action on climate change.
The main contributor to the climate emergency is the energy sector which accounts for 73 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuel subsidy reforms would contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and benefit human health and well-being, and they are a first step towards correctly pricing energy – one that reflects the ‘true’ and full cost of using fossil fuels to society and the environment.
But UNDP’s analysis shows that fossil fuel subsidy reforms can also be unfair and harmful for households and society if they are poorly designed. While fossil fuel subsidies tend to be an unequalising tool - as the lion’s share of the benefits concentrate among the rich - these subsidies also represent an important portion of poor peoples’ incomes that otherwise must be paid for energy consumption. Fossil fuel subsidies’ removal thus could easily become an income- and energy-impoverishing strategy. This contributes to making fossil fuels reform difficult, and imposes a key barrier to transitioning to clean and renewable energy sources.
The Don’t Choose Extinction campaign features a collective intelligence platform, the Global Mindpool, to help tackle the most important issues of our time. Linking insights from around the world - on the climate emergency, the crisis in nature and inequality – the Global Mindpool will support UNDP to better inform and equip policy makers in government, civil society, and the private sector.

In the ancient days of the web (mid 1990s) there was a tool that gained a lot of notoriety called SATAN. This tool was an early “script kiddy” type of tool that leverages really smart people and gives hacker power to anyone who could download a script.
I recently found myself remembering the tool, and looked it up. The icon that came with it was very striking, and kinda reminds me of a Peter Gabriel album. At that time, I don’t think I was a Neil Gaiman fan, but he created the avatar.

I assume most of my friends know who John Cleese is. This interview makes John Hodgman seem like a fanboy to Cleese, who does a really good cranky old man here. I can’t decide if this relationship was genuine or acted.
Watch the entire conversation between John Cleese and John Hodgman from our Nov 5, 2014 event, part the Unbound literary series co-presented by BAM and Greenlight Bookstore.
