Snappy BIOS

Details

Yeah, that title is a pretty bad pun. It's not my fault though. We all know I'm going to leave these descriptions to the last minute, so they shouldn't release a pivotal work of pop culture like Avengers: Endgame at the same time! I was completely aghast by the surprise cameos from Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and The Punisher from the Netflix series. And holy crap! That moment when the Fantastic Four actually showed up hauling the giant house sized terrarium with the goddamn Ninja Turtles just chilling in it? Then fucking Thanos teamed up with the Wicked Witch of the West until her army of flying monkeys bit him and he got that virus from the movie Outbreak and died! Oof, and there wasn't a dry eye in the theater when Captain America got knocked down and he called his dad, only to have the CGI reincarnation of Mr. Fred Rogers show up in full cardigan and start whooping everyone's ass!

After seeing all of that, who can be expected to sit down and think of witty jokes about Coreboot, the open source BIOS to replace proprietary firmware on motherboards? I mean, how am I suppose to focus on what best describe Colin's upcoming STL2600 + DC314 presentation about it and what it takes to install it on your own system when all I can think about is how the fate of universe is hanging in the over a game of marbles taking place out of Spider-man's high school?!

Sigh Well I suppose I'll figure something out. Maybe ramble on incoherently about fake spoilers for a highly anticipated movie that really has no real relation to the topic that I could think of. Then maybe I'll round things out at the end with a kind of meta narration so I have someplace to point out the usual necessary information about it being May's meetup taking place at 7:00 at Arch Reactor. Yeah, that'll probably get me by for now.

Oh... "Spoiler Warning", I guess.
