Manual? What manual?

September 22, 2018 by Kee Hinckley 8 Comments

The first mouse I bought came with a 30 page manual. As manuals shrank, people released “Missing Manual” books. Now?

Thing is, tech hasn’t gotten that much easier. We just have a set of conventions you’re expected to know, and trust that you’ll explore and Google for the rest.

About me

I’m Kee Hinckley (he/his). That’s my wife Mollie Pepper on the right. I’m a senior software architect at TiVo Corp (I get the metadata from point A to point B) with a BA in Anthropology. Mollie’s a sociologist with a couple Masters and a PhD on the way; she specializes in borders, gender, and violence. I have two kickass daughters. Shireen Hinckley is a film editor and documentarian currently working on a movie on refugee resettlement, Home Is Where the War Is. Shadi Fotouhi is a QA automation expert at Wayfair (and formerly at robotics firm Jibo), and an amazing artist.

One of the girls in my 9 year old’s class just said “My favorite author, other than myself, is Judy Blume,” and that’s the energy I want to see from all women writers going forward

Mmm. There’s a line between thinking through scenarios so you are reasonably prepared and less caught off guard vs catastrophizing such that you have the emotional impact of worst case stuff.
I am terrible at respecting that line. Try to be better than me, kids. https://twitter.com/ChatsVoid/status/1350305395064115201

@steve_vladeck “Over the past six months, this Court has repeatedly sidestepped its usual deliberative processes, often at the Government’s request, allowing it to push forward with an unprecedented, breakneck timetable of executions.”

Sotomayor is right + it’s absolutely horrifying.

Reminder: the execution of Lezmond Mitchell set a horrible precedent. He was a Navajo citizen & the crimes occurred on the Navajo Nation. The Navajo are anti-death penalty but the Trump administration killed him anyway & used a loophole to do it (he was executed for car jacking). https://twitter.com/taniel/status/1350299028014178308

Justice Sotomayor, on the Trump administration’s rush to kill.
