I'm watching some good Thanksgiving football in the Cave today, and just saw an ad for the new AI version of Windows, running on their Copilot+ PC laptops with a neural processing unit (NPU) chip. I built two software companies on the original versions of Windows, so this is amazing magical stuff to me.

I still do alright with my old tech and my old code, but I love this new technological paradise I'm witnessing. Unfortunately I've lost the ability to drive it the way it can be, and all I can do now is sit back, get drunk, and say Hell yea!

Some folks may look at my life, on this holiday I've experienced for seventy eight times now, as sad and pathetic. I try very hard to make it neither.

I'm an old man wearing warm pajama bottoms and my favorite old Idaho sweatshirt, alone, no fancy turkey dinner in front of me, surrounded by no family, but I'm ok.

I really am, I've accepted my place in life as I fade to the end. I've done a lot with it, and experienced great things. I blew it many times along the way, now every new day is a gift from God. Thanks man.
