[13:58] <cmaloney> morning
[13:58] <cmaloney> how's the day so far?
[13:59] <rick_h> wheeeee
[13:59] <jrwren> just getting started.  Good morning.
[13:59] <jrwren> How about with you, cmaloney ?
[13:59] <cmaloney> Getting started as well
[13:59] <cmaloney> just ate breakfast and am awaiting coffee
[13:59]  * rick_h agrees coffee is a good idea
[13:59] <jrwren> what was for breakfast?
[14:00] <cmaloney> debating on whether or not to go to the doc for a sinus thing that has been going on over a week
[14:00] <cmaloney> which gets better during the day and then gets worse at night
[14:06] <brousch> cmaloney: Did you see https://dadabots.bandcamp.com/album/coditany-of-timeness ?
[14:19] <cmaloney> Checking
[14:19] <cmaloney> Yes
[14:20] <cmaloney> They claim no copyright / fair use on it, but I'm not sure I agree with that assessment
[14:21] <brousch> I just found the concept interesting: black metal generated by AI
[14:21] <cmaloney> Yeah, that's more thought than some bands put into it for sure
[14:22] <cmaloney> "chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang chang"
[14:22] <cmaloney> "oooooooooOOOOOOOOOOORRrrrrrrrrrrrrreewwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
[17:18] <cmaloney> rick_h: http://www.californiatypewriter.com/shop/white-olympia-sm-3
[17:18] <cmaloney> You don't need this. :)
[17:19] <rick_h> Lol
[17:19] <rick_h> cmaloney: what kind of enabler are you :p
[17:20] <cmaloney> Now, if it was a VT101 terminal...
[17:21] <rick_h> lol
[17:21] <rick_h> Tom Hanks in the show is great.
[17:21] <rick_h> Seeing him geek out was so much fun
[17:22] <cmaloney> Is there an actual show about typewriters?
[17:22]  * cmaloney isn't culturally savvy anymore
[17:23] <rick_h> cmaloney: there's the documentary I mentioned called California typewriter I watched
[17:23] <rick_h> That was what I was talking about in the Twitter post
[17:23] <cmaloney> Ah, OK.
[17:24] <cmaloney> I figured there was some form of connection
[17:24] <cmaloney> and yes, I think the typewriter is an wesome no-frills writing device
[17:24] <rick_h> http://m.imdb.com/title/tt5966990/
[17:24] <cmaloney> but damn
[17:24] <cmaloney> If you really want a nice single-tasker get Atari Writer. ;)

[17:26] <brousch> I brought a typewriter to college with me. Used it a lot before I learned how to computer and print
[17:27] <cmaloney> As soon as I had a printer and AtariWriter I was pretty much spoiled for anything that wasn't a wordprocessor
[17:27] <cmaloney> write it by hand? Screw that.
[17:28] <brousch> I still like to write by hand, but not typewriter.
[17:28] <rick_h> Yea but I love my fountain pens. I want less screens not more.
[17:30] <cmaloney> Yeah, I like writing with pens too
[17:30] <brousch> I prefer pencils
[17:30] <_stink_> gtfo
[17:31] <cmaloney> Yeah, I like mechanical pencils
[17:31] <brousch> pens are messy and slow
[17:31] <brousch> and hard to erase

[17:33] <brousch> wow
[22:58] <greg-g> So, I bought Rowan a hobby quality level RC truck for xmas (er, it's from Santa). ECX brand. It came today and I'm so excited I can't wait until xmas. :)
[22:59] <greg-g> it's on the slower side (25 mph instead of 30+) but it has a higher clearance than other 1/18th scale ones (and i didn't want to spend the money to go up to the 1/10th scale ones)
[23:00] <jrwren> awesome.
[23:00] <jrwren> I thought about getting something liek that for my kiddo for christmas this year, but I don't know if she'd love it or not.
[23:02] <greg-g> (continuing thought) and I can upgrade battery/motors for more speed, but harder to upgrade ground clearance
[23:17] <rick_h> greg-g: cool stuff
