I got the autographs of the original Black Sabbath lineup at a promo for their reunion tour in 99 or 2000. Ozzy smudged his marker so I got his fingerprint as a bonus.

Got my dad a Ted Nugent autograph since I knew he was a fan. He was at the local sportsman’s gear show, so I was cool with going to that anyway. I think that’s the first time I saw a live bald eagle up close, so that was really cool. Ted played some guitar, which was good, and then gave a really strange talk. I only later learned everything else about Ted other than he liked to hunt, so that is a very mixed experience in hindsight.

Got Jerry Lawler’s at a ComicCon where he was promoting his comic. Got Adam West’s there too.

The ex got the Ghost Hunters’ at a different ComicCon. She was very excited, but I had no idea who they were at the time.

When I was a kid I wrote to a few baseball rookies and got their autographs. I still have them somewhere, but nobody who ever became anybody. There was a player with the same name as me that I wrote a few times, but he never wrote back. Jerk.

Those are all the ones I can think of.

Summit

Google Play and Obtanium/GitHub links on there.

It is open source, but dev has had issues with F-droid’s approval process last I checked. Not a deal breaker for me.

Summit is heads above the other clients for me. Dev has added a bunch of feature requests from me, so that certainly helps. Steady development of the app and they respond to everyone quickly on here with questions/comments.

I’ve had luck with Piefed on it when .world was having uptime issues.

I was just thinking about this today. Any corporations big enough for us all to know have likely done more bad things than praiseworthy things. Patagonia is the closest I can think of to a good company we may all know.

The things with the Musk companies that drive me crazy though, is that everything Musk is head of are things that I should be excited about: spaceflight, EVs, green energy, public transportation.

But now thinking about any of those companies reminds me of a less funny version of when Mr Burns opens the recycling plant, but uses it to kill large numbers of sea creatures.

He just sucks the life out of so much exciting tech. While I don’t use any of his stuff, it used to feel aspirational. There’s at least other viable alternatives for just about everything now, but spaceflight is a big disappointment, as that is the most “future” feeling thing to me that there is. It was so exciting to see someone accelerating space travel, but now I hate he’s got his fingers on all of it. Am I supposed to root for Boeing now? Ick!
