Android’s iconic dessert names are going away, starting with Android 10
Part of me is a little sad and disappointed at this news. I had kinda hoped they would make it to Zebra Cake or something like that. But really I’m surprised they’ve made it this far.
Of course, this doesn’t mean the build numbers and the version numbers will converts. Just that you’ll be less likely to wonder if the folks behind Android are less likely to develop diabetes….
The way a box full of crap in the closet works:
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin – Advent of the Red Comet
Settling in to watch this now that it’s pretty much complete, and in a way it is both very nice and refreshing. On one hand it isn’t the ’70s no more but familiar faces and styles abound.
Watching the opening episode, it’s especially curious to see that old man Zabi may have been a competent old bastard during his rise to power. Likewise, I’m reminded of how dangerous and insidious Kycilia was and what a gorilla Dozle was.
By far though, I think the most interesting thing is seeing Ramba Ral so young and full of piss and vinegar. It’s quite the contrast from the old war horse of ’79.
Willow was greatly displeased that I made something with fish but didn’t share any.
When I made extra onigiri, I had planned to save some rather than eating them all. Instead it became a rather large lunch.
Every now and then my Google News feed shows me entries from local sources, including one that tends to have a “What’s going on this weekend” with events in the county. Usually the things listed tend to lean in the direction of live music and cold beer or family friendly movie viewings. Seeing a blurb that “The Heiress” is supposed to be running at New Dawn Theater Company Duluth was a surprise.
Reminds me that I’ve always had a soft spot for that story. Over the years of watching TCM with my mother, I was introduced to quite a few good films. The ’40s and ’90s adaptations of Washington Square included.
In fact, if memory serves when I learned of Project Gutenberg, I think the first books I downloaded were probably The Count of Monte Cristo and Washington Square. Because I’m odd, and many of the other books I wanted to search for at that time probably originated in latin 😲.

Part of me is tempted to scratch my head in curious wonderment; part of me wonders if the world will be a little more sci-fi like than expected, by the time old age takes me to the bone yard.
Some moron at the big G might call this new layout tablet optimized if they’re not allowed to question orders from their marketing overlords.
Me? I’d say why the !@#$ are you wasting nearly 2″ of my screen real estate to highlight the sections for movies and books? I don’t even want to look at my phone’s layout after seeing this redesign on my tablet, for fear of what else might be found.
I was really on the wall when hamburger design took over the mobile world but quickly came to like it, when it was done well. Interfaces like this however are just wasteful(tm). But it gives you plenty of space to write out Games, Apps, Movies & TV, and Books in something like 120 languages.
Willow practically out like a light from the comfy; Misty more debating if that’s food or a camera in my hand, before going back to sleep.
It was difficult to have the heart to reclaim my reserved spot. Willow was so comfy and tired. Of course, nods of agreement from the peanut gallery….
Why the F-117 Nighthawk Is Such a Badass Plane
These days the younger, less deranged but designs are more the rage. But I remember a time when the Nighthawk was still revolutionary and fascinating. Perhaps it still is when it comes to sneakiness.
