I had no expectations for Avengers Infinity Wars and was really blown away by it all. It was extremely entertaining and very satisfying. Always love seeing how writers work an ensemble cast, especially if they do it successfully.
💭 The most unbelievable aspect of the Star Trek universe is the absence of security cameras in highly secure areas.

So, Tak Matsumoto of B'z "lost" a guitar, then sent out a request to find it, then found it in storage? I guess I don't have too many guitars after all ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wow. Super duper depressing. In Honolulu, $40K salary now considered 'very low income'
It’s nice to visit Hawaii but don’t plan on living here.
As more people quit Facebook and other social media, I hope businesses that have grown used to depending on those services to be their news feed remember how to use their websites and Include RSS or JSON feeds again.
Trying to remember all the businesses that I followed on Facebook in order to add them to my RSS feed reader. It's sad how many companies don't have an RSS feed for PR or news releases. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It's Micro Monday and my pick this week is @pyrmont who is usually awake in my timezone to help with microblog testing. Also lives in Tokyo! Maybe if you ask nicely he'll post photos too.

The original recording of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' was released today with footage of Prince & the Revolution rehearsing during the summer of 1984.

Yay! New version of Things released! Hope they finally allow word wrap on to do items with long titles!
Reads super long change log
Nope. Still forced to tap them to fully read them.

After a million edits, and learning from @manton @smokey and @pyrmont I think I finally got my Micro Monday post correct!
Roxy wanted to show off her new WASD V2 87-key keyboard. Hopefully she’ll learn to type one day soon and put it to good use.
My Micro Monday pick is @rogerscrafford. He repairs guitars 🎸 and wanted to know if anyone out there on microblog land plays guitar too. Let him know!
Inio Asano’s poster for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival is so good! He’s a guest this year too! So so so sad I can’t make it to this event! 😭😭😭

Super cool video review of the 9.7” iPad by @settern created totally on the 9.7" iPad and Apple Pencil. Really amazing work!
Apple says ‘Stop the leaks!’, so someone internally leaks the memo about stopping the leaks.
For myself, I really wish the leaks would stop because I like being surprised at Apple events.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga just announced that the government will intervene to block access to the most "malicious" of manga pirate websites, following a spike in copyright infringements. Via Tomohiro Ozaki of Japan Times. Some background on the manga piracy
Follow up on little bird from yesterday. Checked up on it before leaving for work and it was nowhere to be found. Sun wasn't up yet either. Checked all over the garage and under the car, in the wheel wells but no sign of it anywhere. Hope it stays safe!

This little guy fell asleep in the driveway and wouldn’t leave. Put ‘em into a box in the garage for the night. Hopefully it’s mama comes or it wanders off on its own when the sun comes out tomorrow.

Debating if $23 shipping is worth it for this $150 clicky keyboard. This is also known as the living in Hawaii tax.
So the only reasons to upgrade to High Sierra are so that I can try @brentsimmons Evergreen beta and the new emoji?

It's still Monday in my timezone, so my Micro @monday pick is @adiabatic! Someone figure out what his bio key combo does for me.
Amazing @asano_inio DeadDeadDemon’s Dededede Destruction vignette arrived today. Really high quality paint job and attention to detail.

If a link appears at the end of a sentence do you end the link before or after the period? Asking for a friend.
If Twitter is trying to get users to quit the platform, this is a great way to do it.

It’s always fun to see what Eric Johnson is using on tour. Interesting that he's using a Two Rock for his dirty tone and the echoplex just for the preamp tone. He also brought out all the old MXR rack delays.
Maybe a good way to find out who’s following you on micro.blog is to just ask? “If you’re following me, let me know!” Or similar.
‘Apple's 2019 Mac Pro will be shaped by workflows'
Just happy that Apple is being preemptive and communicating it's plans.
