How Do You Pronounce “DBussy”? ============================== The name is a pun on “dbus” and the name of French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy. The most natural way to pronounce it would be the same as his name. At least, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

The sky was thick solid clouds stretching from the horizon in the east to just above the horizon in the west. I wondered if that little gap above the horizon in the west would be enough for an interesting sunset. We waited 35 minutes for sunset and it was worth it.
#sunset #montreal
A stunning sunset with a bright yellow orb sitting on the horizon, making the sky all around it bright yellow, then blending into orange. In the foreground are train tracks and train cars that are reflecting the golden sun, and on the horizon is the Montreal skyline.

Long read that looks at responsibility, content accessibility, the ACR of one theme, and drive-by lawsuits.

It's time for a silly Monday afternoon beat thing.
Last night, I sampled a bunch of sounds from a Perkins braillewriter and loaded them into my shiny new Ableton Move. Today, I made this silly thing with it, not actually using many of the samples, as it turns out.

I know why I'm glad I went with HP now. the HP bios configuration utility. Del makes something similar, but sadly limited to their workstation-class systems. HP does not discriminate on this one, unless you count not allowing the disabling of Absolute protection chips that come shipped in the factory. (Some see Absolute Protect as a trojan for allowing a lot of core access) the HP-specific BCU is downloadable here and requires commandline. ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp14350…

I have today off, (thanks Indigenous People!), so I've been spending it sending get-out-the-vote texts to #Democrats in Ohio and Arizona. If you're #Blind and looking for an #Accessible way to volunteer this election cycle, Campaign for Democracy is entirely virtual, lets you text on your own time, and only requires a device with a Web browser. (some familiarity with Discord also helps, but isn't required.) Learn more here: campaignfordemocracy.com/text/

Not a fan of Halloween, truth be told.
Stop buying plastic skeletons for Halloween, they're terrible for the environment. Locally sourced, all natural skeletons are much more environmentally friendly. They take a bit of prep work, but so worth it. Reuse, repurpose, recycle.

What a coincidence!
Superintendent Ryan Walters isn't just talking about buying Bibles for schools. Bids opened Monday for a contract to supply the state Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles. According to the bid documents, vendors must meet certain specifications: Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material. A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters. But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood's God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.
