Well, it's been 17 years of online Evil - something of an accomplishment. Seventeen Years, and the time has gone by so quickly, as it does.
One wanted to create a video - something fun, but honestly, it's too hot to get up to too much mischief. Ah, my Colorado Holdfast here on Colorado Day (150 years as a state), you're either too hot, or too cold.
There's a fun story - the Lair is constantly changing and one of the changes is that the library And the study have become buried. Can't get into the bookshelves, but the books keep coming in. Such good books! And while One does have a few books, there Are some books that can find new homes - but One can't get to them, so the new books have started to form stacks here and there and finding nooks and crannies to live. One has a new bookcase to install, which might create a pathway into the library where One could perhaps harvest out some books to move along. And of course, you'll never know what or Who you might find in odd spaces in the Lair.
AI (there Is no AI) and Robotics have developed at such an astonishing rate the fields seem to have grown completely insane and One is certain the world is at another tipping point - something along the lines of mobile phones and the Internet. Everything we know now is going to change in ways we can't yet foresee. Needless to say - crab walking Malignobots have fallen off the obsolescence cliff.
Speaking of Hot, remember the Walker Challenge - it was Melting, but One had designed a slipsuit to aid in aerodynamics. But no, cooking like a lobster.
Can't do it this year, he Lair cooling systems are not cooling sufficiently for the time One has In the Lair. Maybe another month for the weather to start cooling down.
Hoping it cools down soon (One is infamous for hoodies and cloaks).
Did One mention that Malignopalooza is a party? Yes, yes it is, and the cognac goes into a goblet as is the tradition and great fetes are attended and tributes given. So even though it's hot, there have been obligations to attend to. But for now One is tuckered out.
