12 August 2020 - Plague Journal Day 152

Micah 6:8
Daniel 5
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?


Today is World Calligraphy Day. Calligrapher is Greek for "handwriting show-off," so celebrate in whatever way you like.

Today is also IBM PC Day, remembering the day back in 1981 when IBM introduced its first Personal Computer to the world.

It's a somewhat odd coincidence that yesterday was Steve Wozniak's birthday and today is the IBM PC's birthday. A belated Happy Birthday to the Woz, the only techno-geek contestant on Dancing With The Stars who danced on a Segway (as far as I know). I now understand why - apparently he was a member of a Segway Polo team. That just sounds cool, doesn't it? (Even if Segways never were, nor really ever could be cool.)

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
