    I’m asking myself what Jim’s game would be if he is attempting to bait Lynn into posting the full e-mail. I wish Admiral Ackbar were here. Traps are his specialty.

    The best I can think of is getting Bork Con itself to promote “Bork Con Sucks”, funneling everyone with a grudge to Jim’s group. They would be resources for a propaganda war against Lynn and Bork con. That feels like the Plan B play but not the Plan A.

    What sprigs to my mind, if they post the original email… is there any proof that’s the original? Or does it become a ‘he said, she said’ argument?

    I suspect the previous posters have pretty much called it. The whole point of the email was to cut ties between Bork Con and Unagi Con By addressing or even acnowleding Jim’s post they’re defeating that. I assume Jim next step if the full email were posted would be a deflection with a complaint about how Bork Con was trying to censor his personal social media.. or something. Likely the best tactic for Lynn is to focus on Bork Con and promote the positive. The sort of crowd drawn in by flame wars probably don’t make for good goers. .

    They might not even need to make a defense response. If Lynn sent that e-mail to the whole Unagi Con staff (which I think she did), then everyone on staff has seen it and will know that the version Jim posted is leaving out crucial information.

    Maybe a lot of them don’t care or share Jim’s grudge, but I don’t think it’s likely that the entire staff would be fine with it. If that’s the case, there might be a staff member or two who will jump ship and release the original e-mail themselves because it’s gone too far and now the whole con is paying for Jim’s actions since they lost access to Bork-con’s equipment.

    Even Garner may be able to post an independent response as a former staff member and highlight why he left, though that could be taken either way since he left to join Bork-con.

      I forgot to mention that I can see them looking the other way for a direct attack at Lynn given he railroaded her, but some might have an issue with letting that animosity bleed into harassing a whole con and their staff. Everyone draws their own line.

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )


    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
