    Zoom works for video. I test it a few times a week for a few hours with a few contacts each time.

    And a few beer.

    It’s a vPub most of the time with some tech thrown in.

    I hate to say it, but FB Messenger is reliable for me too : starts well, sounds good, video’s clean, ends cleanly . I need to remind mom how to start that call when it’s with her on her old portal unit, but yeah. Cambridge is the worst thing to happen to good products like M and Portal.

















  • Unbelievable geniuses don’t exist

    “I haven’t seen one so it must not exist” ?

    I’ve met one. He’s unbelievable. He’s a great guy, but sometimes a little hard to follow if you’re only taking part in one conversation at a time when he’s talking in two and listening to a third because he expects you to be on the ball in your own discussion when he jumps in to drop a tidbit or ask a question like a chess master playing 4 games in the park at once – in heated discussions about topics as diverse as economy, politics, technology, and the history of Coffee. He’s so nice and so unfathomably intelligent that when he’s working you just naturally want to see if he needs anything on the way back to his desk and otherwise leave him alone to craft miracles in the environment of his choosing.

    Like, I’ve sat down and taken those tests from back in the day when measuring IQ was a thing. I did well. I’m proud of how well I did. This guy cannot be measured by any yardstick built by mortals.
