Maybe nerds do need slappin'
A typical Unix distro has a bunch of files for use with the calendar program — lists of historical events, holidays, etc. I’ve got my web browser home page set to show me today’s events and holidays, which is how I learned that calendar.history also contains events from Lord of the Rings.
I don’t mean real events, like the date The Two Towers was published, but fictional events, like the date Frodo crossed the Mitheithel. When I was a teenager I probably would have thought this was cute and clever, but now it makes me want to just find the responsible person and ask what other parts of my operating system he might have worked on while stoned.

More studios today. Went back to 111, checked out the fourth and fifth floors, then back down to catch some folks I’d missed yesterday. Lots of really good stuff. I’m thinking about glazes, I’m thinking about lines, I’m thinking about metallics. I’m thinking I really need to build some more shelving and clear off my drawing table.
