Something like this came up in Robert R. McCammon's 1987 book Swan Song[1], one of the first novels to win the Bram Stoker award[2] for Best Novel (alongside Stephen King's Misery that year).

One of the survivors finds a glass ring (something like trinitite) among the post-nuclear-blast rubble of Saks Fifth Avenue[3] in New York and sees visions of the future (or something) through it.

I was complaining about SQLAlchemy's insane quirks to a group from my alma mater and one of the grad students said, "Well, the solution to your problem is clear: Write your own ORM." and I had to explain that this startup does not want to get into the ORM-writing business.

Us iPhone 13 Mini holdouts need to get a little louder. It feels like I find more and more on the internet every month -- I'm pretty sure there're far more than just "dozens of us" who want a reasonably-sized phone.

My friends have managed to avoid introducing their 5 year old to the iPad. They do allow her to use it on airplanes, but they rope the flight attendants into it and have the attendant present it as "the airplane's iPad."

Interesting. I get this controller headphone port feature when using the PS5, it's too bad it doesn't carry over to PC.

I have the \LaTeX command in my skills line, which is really hard to typeset in anything other than LaTeX. Other engineers notice it unprompted.
