Howard's Car Headcanons – The Jaguar and the Man Behind the Wheel

Howard’s Jaguar wasn’t just a car—it was an extension of himself. Sleek, elegant, and impeccably maintained, the black Jaguar XJ spoke to Howard’s appreciation for the finer things in life. He had purchased it after securing his partnership at HHM, a reward to himself for all the long hours and sacrifices he’d made. The car was a statement: sophisticated, polished, and with just enough power under the hood to make it exciting.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Why the Jaguar?

The Jaguar XJ had always appealed to Howard for its combination of luxury and performance. It wasn’t as ostentatious as a Ferrari or as ubiquitous as a Mercedes; the Jaguar had a certain understated class to it, something Howard deeply resonated with. He liked the way it handled—smooth, with a bit of bite when he pressed down on the accelerator. It was a car that reflected his personality: refined and composed on the surface, but with an underlying intensity that could surprise you.

The sleek black exterior was always kept immaculate, gleaming as if it had just rolled off the showroom floor. Howard was fastidious about cleanliness, and his car was no exception. He often took it for a detailing session on weekends, ensuring that the leather interior remained pristine and the wood paneling gleamed under the sun.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Inside the Car – The Details

Inside the Jaguar, everything was organized down to the last detail, much like Howard’s life. The leather seats were always conditioned, the smell of polished wood and a faint trace of cologne lingered in the air. In the glove compartment, you’d find a few essentials—his designer sunglasses in a leather case, an extra set of cufflinks (just in case), a pristine leather-bound notepad, and a Montblanc pen. There was a sleek umbrella neatly tucked into the backseat pocket, though rarely used, and a copy of the latest issue of *The Economist* or *Forbes* in the door pocket, ready to flip through during any downtime.

In the trunk, there was a small emergency kit, but nothing excessive. Howard liked to be prepared, but he didn’t clutter his space. There was also a neatly packed gym bag, complete with a change of clothes, because despite his busy schedule, Howard tried to fit in workouts whenever he could—be it tennis, golf, or a quick run at the country club.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Music – The Soundtrack of Howard's Drives

Music was a particular pleasure for Howard, but like everything else in his life, it was carefully curated. When he drove, especially on longer stretches of road, he gravitated toward jazz—something about the smooth saxophones and rhythmic piano made him feel at ease, particularly after a stressful day at the firm. Artists like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Stan Getz were frequent staples on his playlist.

On other days, especially after closing a major deal or winning a big case, Howard liked to indulge in a bit of Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett. There was something about those classic crooners that resonated with him—the effortless class, the confidence. "Fly Me to the Moon" and "The Best Is Yet to Come" were often blaring through the speakers as he zipped through Albuquerque, the volume turned up just enough for him to lose himself in the music but not so loud as to draw attention.

The car’s sound system was state-of-the-art, of course, installed shortly after he bought the Jaguar. Howard appreciated good sound quality, and nothing less than perfection would do. He liked his music crisp, with deep bass notes and clear highs, enveloping him in the rich tones of whatever was playing.

On rare occasions, if Howard was in a particularly nostalgic mood, he would play some old rock—The Rolling Stones or Fleetwood Mac. He wouldn’t admit it often, but there was a side of him that still appreciated the rebellious spirit of rock music, though it wasn’t something he indulged in regularly. These tracks reminded him of his younger days, before the pressures of being a partner at HHM, when life was a little looser, a little less defined by expectation.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

The Way He Drives

Howard’s driving style was much like his demeanor: smooth, controlled, and deliberate. He wasn’t one for speeding—unless the road stretched out ahead of him, empty and inviting, and then he might push the accelerator just a little harder, feeling the power of the car beneath him. But even then, there was precision to the way he handled the wheel, never reckless, always in control.

Driving was a way for Howard to decompress. When the firm’s pressure weighed heavily on him or the complicated dynamics with Jimmy and Chuck got too much, a drive through the open roads surrounding Albuquerque provided the perfect escape. He rarely took calls during these drives, preferring to disconnect and let the motion of the road clear his head.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Other Details – The Little Things

Howard’s attention to detail extended to the smaller aspects of the car, too. The air freshener was a subtle, woodsy scent—not overpowering but enough to give the interior a fresh, inviting atmosphere. He always had a bottle of mineral water tucked into the cup holder, usually untouched but there for whenever he needed it.

The GPS was programmed with his most frequent destinations—HHM, the country club, and Emilia’s place—but he knew most routes by heart. He liked to think that navigating Albuquerque’s streets was second nature to him, a reflection of the many years he’d spent mastering the legal landscape of the city.

Even the radio presets were methodically chosen—jazz stations, talk radio, and a classical station he enjoyed on particularly slow days when he needed to center himself before a big meeting.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

Howard’s Jaguar was more than just a vehicle—it was a sanctuary, a reflection of his tastes, his precision, and the man he wanted the world to see. And, in those rare, quiet moments when it was just him and the open road, it became a space where he could let go of the expectations and pressures, if only for a little while.

How to host local Club Penguin Private Server (CPPS) on Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3) thru play.localserver & Solero's Wand install.

I spent so long looking for a solution to this that I want to contribute what worked for me. I got so frustrated looking for something that worked, and I hope this guide will help others avoid that frustration.

This is NOT a guide on hosting or serving a CPPS. This is a guide on making a CPPS playable by locally hosting your server on your Silicon M1/M2/M3 Macbook. This worked on my M3 Macbook, and, in my experience, it seems the newer the hardware/operating system gets, the harder it is accomplish this.

DISCLAIMER *I do not know very much about this topic. I can paste commands into terminal and execute them, I know how to install DMG files I downloaded from the internet (the bar is in hell, I am aware), and I know how to enter play.localhost to run this in a browser. I am no expert; this guide is for beginners like myself who want a CPPS. This is beginner-level stuff. If you want advice or need help hosting, refer to the Wand Github page, Solero's Dash (an actual web-hosting solution for Houdini/Wand), Solero's discord, or, when in doubt, Google it. (I recommend only asking for help in Solero's discord for help AFTER trying your best to search for a solution, and even after that, trying to search key terms in their chat logs. They often have to repeat the same advice over, and over, and over again.)*

TLDR; IDK shit about shit

USING WAND INSTALLER

wand description from github: Wand makes it easy to configure dash, houdini and a media server utilizing docker & docker-compose.

All the assets are located here.

Installation instructions from the above link:

Installation script 1. run the script: bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solero/wand/master/install.sh) 2. Answer Questions which are: Database password (Leave blank for random password) Hostname (example: clubpenguin.com) (Leave empty for localhost) External IP Address (Leave empty for localhost) 3. Run and enjoy. Run this command: $ cd wand && sudo docker-compose up

The steps I took:

1. Install Docker via Terminal & Homebrew.

Installing the Docker DMG file did not work properly when I tried. I realized later that Docker is seperate from Docker Desktop (the DMG file). I got Docker to work by using Terminal to install Homebrew, and then using Homebrew to install Docker.

Indented text = paste into Terminal.

Command to install Homebrew:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Ensure Homebrew is installed:

brew --version

Install Docker:

brew install docker

Recommended: Install Docker Desktop (useful in determining if your server is running, stopped, or stuck in a restart loop).

brew install --cask docker

Run Docker Desktop:

open -a Docker

2. Run installation script:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solero/wand/master/install.sh)

From Github instructions:

Answer Questions which are:

Database password (Leave blank for random password)

Hostname (example: clubpenguin.com) (Leave empty for localhost)

External IP Address (Leave empty for localhost)

3. $ cd wand && sudo docker-compose up

This is what is provided in the Github. This command didn't work on Mac; I believe it's formatted for Linux OS. Here's how I broke it up and enabled it to run from Mac's Terminal.

Navigate to Wand directory:

cd wand

Double-check if you're in the right directory:

ls

Start Docker container:

docker-compose up

If the above doesn't work, try

docker compose up

or

brew install docker-compose

Takes a second...

Ensure Docker is running:

docker info

If it isn't, open the Docker Desktop application.

*After using compose up, this error may appear:*

WARN[0000] /Users/[user]/wand/docker-compose.yml: the attribute version is obsolete, it will be ignored, please remove it to avoid potential confusion

This is harmless. If you get annoyed by errors, this can be solved by:

nano docker-compose.yml

See Version 3.7 at the top? Delete that line.

Ctrl-X (NOT COMMAND-X) to exit, Y to save, Enter.

PLAY.LOCALHOST

Type http://PLAY.LOCALHOST into a browser.

Create a penguin.

Try logging in that penguin:

This step was agony. I'm not savvy with running obsolete or deprecated software, and, of course, Club Penguin (and Houdini/Wand's assest) uses Flash, which was discontinued, and timebombed by Adobe, in 2021.

I tried Ruffle. Club Penguin Journey uses Ruffle, so why can't I?

Running Ruffle in Firefox:

No luck.

In the Solero discord, they'll direct to this blog post:

This method does not work on Mac M1/M2/M3. The program is "out of date" and you cannot run it. It works on Macbook's running Sonoma and backward. I'm on an M3 running Sequoia.

they'll often post this video in the discord:

In theory, this method should work, and it does for many, but for whatever reason, not on my M3. I tried different versions of Ungoogled, I tried so many different patches of Pepperflash, and it never cooperated. I tried Pepperflash, I tried Fast Patch!, I tried dedicated Flash browsers, running Flash plugins for Pale Moon, Ungoogled, Waterfox, but I could never get past him.

Every time I see this stupid penguin's face I'm filled with rage. But I am going to save you that rage!!!

If you get this method to work, yay! I could not. Maybe I don't know enough about patching, maybe I'm a little tech stupid.

WHAT WORKED: Using a dedicated CPPS desktop application that allows you to plug in a URL.

I give you...

He is your solution, your answer to

I discovered this solution through Solero's Discord, when someone answered a question re: playing online.

Waddle Forever was not what I was looking forever, but I noticed in their credits:

The electron client is originally forked from the Club Penguin Avalanche client. The server is based in solero's works in reverse engineering the Club Penguin server (Houdini server emulator). The media server is also mostly from solero's media servers.

And that's how I found out the solution: Using CPA Client

Download the CPAvalanche Client

It runs Adode Flash x64. Easy peasy.

(the instructions are in Portuguese, but for English users:

Navigate to releases.

And download this one:

Once downloaded, open.

Drag into applications.

Run http://play.localhost through the client:

Open CPAvalanche Client. It will direct you to CPAvalance once loaded, but you're here because you want to play play.localhost.

Navigate to CPAvalanche Client next to your Apple. Click Mudar a URL do Club Penguin.

Press Sim.

URL: http://play.localhost

Ok.

Press Login once the page loads, and...

That's it! No more penguin! Have fun :)

Mastering the Art of Video Editing: A Comprehensive Guide

In today's digital age, video content reigns supreme. Whether you're a budding YouTuber, a marketing professional, or an aspiring filmmaker, understanding the art of video editing is essential. It's not just about stitching clips together; it's about crafting a narrative, evoking emotions, and captivating your audience from start to finish. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the fundamentals of video editing and explore tips and techniques to help you elevate your editing skills to the next level.

Understanding the Basics

Before diving into the intricacies of video editing software, it's crucial to grasp the fundamental concepts that underpin the editing process.

Storyboarding: Begin by outlining the structure of your video. A storyboard serves as a visual roadmap, detailing the sequence of shots and transitions.

Composition: Pay attention to framing, rule of thirds, and visual balance. A well-composed shot can significantly enhance the overall quality of your video.

Transitions: Smooth transitions between shots maintain continuity and flow. Experiment with different transition effects to find the right balance between creativity and subtlety.

Audio: Sound plays a crucial role in video editing. Pay attention to audio levels, background music, and sound effects to create a dynamic auditory experience.

Choosing the Right Tools

The next step is selecting the right video editing software. With a plethora of options available, it's essential to choose a platform that aligns with your skill level and editing needs.

Beginner-Friendly Options: For novice editors, user-friendly software like iMovie (for Mac) or Windows Movie Maker (for PC) provides a straightforward interface and basic editing functionalities.

Intermediate to Advanced Software: As you progress, consider transitioning to more robust editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. These platforms offer advanced features, including multi-track editing, color grading, and visual effects.

Online Editing Tools: If you prefer a cloud-based solution, platforms like WeVideo and Clipchamp provide accessible editing capabilities without the need for software installation.

Mastering Techniques and Tips

Now that you've chosen your editing tool, let's explore some techniques to enhance your editing prowess.

Trimming and Cutting: Use precise trimming techniques to remove unwanted footage and tighten your edits. Cutting on action or dialogue cues helps maintain rhythm and momentum.

Color Grading: Experiment with color correction and grading to enhance the visual aesthetics of your video. Adjusting contrast, saturation, and white balance can dramatically impact the overall look and feel.

Audio Mixing: Achieve a balanced audio mix by adjusting volume levels, adding background music, and incorporating sound effects. Pay attention to dialogue clarity and ensure that audio elements complement the visual narrative.

Utilize Keyboard Shortcuts: Familiarize yourself with keyboard shortcuts to streamline your editing workflow. Mastering shortcuts for common tasks like cutting, copying, and pasting can save time and improve efficiency.

Storyboarding and Planning: Invest time in pre-production planning and storyboarding to streamline the editing process. A well-thought-out plan helps maintain focus and ensures that your final product aligns with your creative vision.

Conclusion

Install Rosetta 2 from the app, not the CLI

Perhaps you're on an Apple Silicon Mac, with the M1, M2 or M3 processor, and you're trying to use Docker Desktop. You're probably on a recent version of Docker Desktop, maybe 4.25.0. You may or may not have the "Use Rosetta" setting checked.

And you probably noticed that the instructions said to run:

$ softwareupdate --install-rosetta

When you tried that, maybe you got this message:

2023-10-30 21:35:28.985 softwareupdate[2506:30542] Package Authoring Error: 042-82950: Package reference com.apple.pkg.RosettaUpdateAuto is missing installKBytes attribute Install of Rosetta 2 finished successfully

And maybe now all your docker compose build's or docker build .'s are failing with:

docker: Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup http.docker.internal on 192.168.65.7:53: read udp 192.168.65.6:60526->192.168.65.7:53: i/o timeout

The fix is to open up the /System/Library/CoreServices folder in the Finder, and double-click Rosetta 2 Updater.app to do the install. That will succeed where the CLI script doesn't.

And by the way, the "For all platforms" workaround at the very bottom of the 4.25.0 release notes is no joke. That's just a straight up bug. If you're getting a similar error to the above except with "read: connection refused," make sure your Resources, under Settings, include at least the minimum amount of swap (512 MB).
