I haven’t been very active on twitter for several years now … perhaps I’ll get going again on Threads. You can find me there (and on Instagram) as user cidersnob.

Same in the US — typically only5-10 of the same popular mass market varieties in shops (and 10 is in-season.) Farmstands, farm markets, & small local orchards are the best bet for old and interesting varieties. Ask local cider makers for tips too.

My brother @aka_pugs wrote this thread about our Dad on what would've been his 100th birthday today. Thanks, Tom. Reminds me of how proud I am to be William L Lyon III.

1/ Today would've been the 100th birthday of William L. Lyon, Jr. - my dear father, Lyon family patriarch, inveterate tinkerer, lover of math & science tricks & puzzles, and a kind, humble, and generous man/nerd. And he kept the lights on for the City of El Paso. 🧵

I want to buy some I-bonds, which requires a @TreasuryDirect account. TreasuryDirect wants me to verify my id/sig on a Form FS 5444 guaranteed by a financial institution. @Fidelity and @Chase refused, but luckily @WellsFargo , where I am not a customer, helped me out.

Cool thread about how my brother Tom became employee #8 at Sun. I wasn't part of the Silicon Valley "Lyon mafia" mentioned, but was a happy end-user of mostly Sun/SunOS/SPARC/Solaris for 20+ years starting in 1986! Good times.

When mainstream apple industry assoc. tweets about #cider #apples it is (1) kudos to them and (2) testament to explosive growth of cider

Here’s something you may not know: There are apples specifically grown for cidermaking, not for raw eating. Craig and Sharon Campbell and Tieton Cider Works (@TietonCider) are proud to continue a legacy established in the 1920s...

Things I Did Not Know: After their defeat and loss at Copenhagen in 1807, the Danes responded by planting 90,000 oak trees toward the Navy’s rebirth. The Danish Nature Agency, successor to the royal forester, informed the Defense Ministry in 2007 that their trees were ready.
