Hey now, @meyerweb Mac is already beta 10.50 and other builds are right behind. So yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes, @opera 10.50 (Ten-Fifty, folks!) @Eric_Allison is an awesome product. It does cheer me up :)
Mols is grumpy. Not enough sleep, too much stress. And laundry. Where the heck did this huge pile of dirty everything come from?
if our wonderful @snookca desires, he should come to the CSS WG and work on that elusive thing called consensus, @ryanbarr
Replying to @daz_angie
@daz_angie Dale woke up and asked if could has cheezburger! He's very ill but his verbal skills and wit are still intact which is very good.
well @snookca 'de facto' implementations are antithetical to Web standards as they deviate from the prioritization of what IS specified.
Not today @ryanbarr. My butt is sore enough from getting kicked by life lately. Besides IT'S NOT IN THE SPEC. There are other priorities.
Anyway, thanks everyone for the positive thoughts. I keep trying to do work but this has distracted me greatly. Off to focus a bit. xoxo/m
but this outcome is the best possible sign that he can have quality of life for a while longer, which is what we all can hope for, really.
The still sad truth is that glioblastomas have a very poor prognosis overall. With surgery he gains about 1 year (statistically) of life.

haha, no, Dale cannot has cheezburger. That he asked that particular question however means he's still got his verbal skills and sharp wit.
My friend Dale is out of ICU after 5 hours of surgery. He woke up and asked for a cheeseburger! Best possible prognosis for the situation.

been reading Margaret Atwood's speculative fiction "Oryx and Crake." People are defined as "number people" or "word people" - which are you?

Thinking Facebook is becoming kinder and gentler than Twitter. FB did give me a water bottle which I'm drinking out of, could that be it?

absolutely, @daz_angie . And you are so thoughtful to reach out, so gracias, amiga. So AI at Carnegie is in your future. I'm so impressed!
It's what my own father died from many years ago. He couldn't form words or do simple math despite having once been a genius at both.
that's very sweet @daz_angie but life expectancy much less retaining memory, language skills and so on is not in the known picture for this.
For those who've ever heard my "theory of the shit box" rant, this is exactly the shit box. We all get one at birth whether pauper or king.
Dale wrote me an email last night about self-forgiveness, how much good music there's been in our time, and he wants to give me his guitar.
