Thanks to Tracy Ingram for the find!

Happy Leap Day!

Comic panel featuring skeleton having cereal and coffee saying “What a year, huh?” and a cat replying “It’s February.”

It’s the last day of February — and a bonus day at that — so it’s the last day this image can be considered “current.”

It’s been an interesting year, where I’ve enjoyed some sights, seen family I don’t often see, and earlier this month, I got laid off. That’s a lot, considering we’re only one-sixth of the way through the Gregorian calendar, and one-twelfth of the way through the Year of the Dragon!

The next few months promise to be even more interesting, and I’m looking forward to taking them on.

Accordion, Instrument of the Gods It Happened to Me

Feel free to interpret this photo

Tap to view at full size.

I was helping out at the “Speed Networking Lounge” at the Synapse Summit conference earlier today, where they divided the room into areas where people could go to discuss different topics, which were marked by balloons. I was in the “Artificial Intelligence” area, and after the speed networking session ended, they let me take the balloon, which I tied to my accordion.

The balloon’s been attached to the accordion all day, and the accordion’s been with me wherever I’ve gone all day, including the Rollin’ Mullet pub in my neighborhood. That’s when I noticed I had an opportunity to take an “art” photo — hence the image above.

Feel free to assign whatever meaning or symbolism works for you to the photo.

Useful information for tomorrow’s flight

Screenshot of a CNN story where the “lower third” says “Boeing 777 will struggle to maintain altitude once the fuel tanks are empty.”

Hey, CNN, thanks for telling us that “plane no go if no gas.”
