RFN, I'm watching VEVO 70s, on Pluto, through the Roku.

I just watched Joe Cocker singing She Came In Through The Bathroom Window.  It was painful to watch.  It's like every nerve in his body was firing at the same time.

Also, if he wasn't tripping balls, he shoulda been, cuz he sure appeared to be.

Also, also, for at least part of the video, the bassist is 'playing' the back of the bass guitar, it's turned around with the strings against his body.

Weirdos.

ETA:  Here's the video, check the bass player at about 1:30:

Neat!!!   Will your bro get writing credit?

IMDB page! lol

That's cool--and even cooler that your brother helped design the ISS!

That's my other brother who did the Nest thermostats.  He's basically retired now, but takes on occasional  odd programming jobs that interest him.  He most recently did a very quick consulting gig for a British cell phone company that is trying to come up with devices that help elderly people who live alone. They are discovering that it's complicated.  They engaged his services because he had worked at Google, and he was able to tell them everything he knew about meeting Google standards.  So after that first day long meeting, he had told them everything he knew, and they just asked him to complete his 40 hour contract by double checking project team status for an hour or so every couple days until he reached 40 hours of work.  He generally enjoyed that gig, except he is on Pacific time and had to attend Zoom meetings on London time and they didn't always consider his schedule when they set the meeting times.

I sometimes wonder if I should have applied myself more, and gone into some sort of tech field and be retired by now.  *shrug*  Working at a law firm pays the bills though.  I get to file another trademark for a famous mobile app company this morning.  I should probably turn to that now...

Can I invest in a futures interest in your kids?

Filing trademarks is cool!  And in the news, like the new Voltswagen!

Thanks for reminding me.  I checked the USPTO records when I read that news about Voltswagen, and didn't see it, so I thought it was BS marketing.  But there it is.  It just took a few days for the databases to get populated.

Interesting that they are only filing for tshirts.  It appears that you can still apply for a trademark for Voltswagen for cars.  And I can tell you that the application will be rejected for not following the rules.  The picture of the tshirt they summited is merely a design on a tshirt.  You need to show the mark on the tag in the collar.

Actually, hold on.  Some guy named Benjamin H. Weinstein filed for this mark, and using a PO Box for his address.  It will get rejected for that too.

Looks like the real Volkswagen hasn't filed anything.

So, you're basically the art student in your family?

I will definitely be watching that movie when it is released.

Ladies and Gentlemen of The Cellar, I implore you, do yourself a solid and find a show called Moving Art.  Currently on NetFlix, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on a tv screen.

And no words, no narration.  It's your basic Nature-type program, not animals (so far), but nature.  And no people.

Well, they went all island ppl twirling fire batons and shit at the end of ep 1, so with my luck ep 2 will probably be narrated by a stuttering auctioneer.

But srsly.  Beautiful, just gorgeous.

So, NetFlix fucked me up.  Again.  Yet again, I should say.

The seasons are listed 3, 2, and 1.  I've been watching season 3.

Look twice when you start.
