Thank goodness for the scribbles, otherwise I might have learned who wrote this thing I liked and we can't have that.

This was Second Life around 20 years ago.

I set that logo as one of the startup movies on my Steam Deck, because I am old and easily amused.

The Special Edition version of Sy Snootles.

"Jedi Rocks" rocks.

16 million of those hours were the bear-shagging scene.

Mara Jade is in Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi which will forever be complete and inarguable canon just like the Holiday Special.

Nixie tubes were replaced by the multi-segment LED displays for numbers for many of those use cases where the numerals needed to glow. Think the last four decades of clock radios, TV channel number displays after mechanical channel knobs but before they removed the bezel stuff and put it all on the screen itself, etc.

I love those little pockets, probably extremely useful back when a coin or three could be a day's lunch and/or transit money.

And like with the Rolling Stones, I tend to like Bob Dylan's songs much more when it's someone else covering them.

The ones in jail didn't have the brilliant idea to bury the granting of explicit legal permission to steal one's data in a horrendously long user agreement the victim is forced to click "yes" on before their computer works at all.

 

Because at that moment, there will be 20 2024 hours to go.

 

Photo of a US passport and a passport cover custom-printed with the cover art from the original US edition of the novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Said art features a hand giving the universal thumb gesture for hitching a ride while a green planet makes a silly face against a backdrop of space. (Douglas Adams and many fans dislike this version of the cover, but it was on the first copy of the story I had as a kid and I'll always have great fondness for it.) The passport in its Hitchhiker's Guide cover.

I got a new passport and learned you can get any image you want printed onto a passport holder, and this had to happen.

I briefly considered making some original cover art based on how the Guide itself is described in the story, but I then thought about all the reasons not to pull out something that says "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly letters in view of some jittery border guard who may not get the literary reference.

Parody of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster which reads "Keep Colm and Carry On. At the top is an illustration of Colm Meaney looking stubborn. The image is watermarked RobVincent.net, for that is my site and I made this thing.

 

Stylized illustrated portrait of Douglas Adams sticking out his thumb hitchhiker-style as, behind him, two-headed three-armed Zaphod Beeblebrox drinks two drinks while pondering an entry in the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Signature: RV, RobVincent.net
