it turns out that glass food containers have the distinct down-side of occasionally dropping glass splinters into your food.

one thing that bugs me about social media is the whole "Every Person™ A Corporation / Every Corporation™ A Person" thing. forcing us all to interact as though we were the PR department of our own company.

4_too_much.txt
5_fun.txt

i just wrote a ruby app to take piped input from my shell + post it to masto. if you see this, it worked!
