I stripped all the black paint off of something today thinking it was chrome underneath, only to realize that it was just 2 layers of black paint on bare metal. I guess I'll paint it black again...

Enjoy your #caturday on this long weekend!

Good news everyone! My persimmon tree is flowering this year.

Give yourself a treat on #Caturday

This is what it feels like to sleep in on #Caturday

OMG, I just discovered the wild world of vintage Japanese Menko cards based on western properties and I need to resist the urge to empty my wallet...

Lucky says happy #caturday everyone!

Just once, I want to see this interaction during congressional questioning: "Mr. Jones, Isn't it true that you totally suck ass?" "Congressman, there are many people who would attest to my qualifications and likeability." "Let me remind you that it's a felony to lie under oath!"

I saw this bush from a great distance away and just had to check it out. It's so intensely pink!

Happy #caturday everyone

I finally have a copy of Tail 'Gator for Gameboy! I'd been wanting this one on my collection for a while. This copy had some red pen marks on the label, but luckily this is one of the GB carts that has a laminated label, so I was able to clean it off without damaging the label.

It's April, so of course I'm going to come home from shopping with halloween cookies.

How come everyone thinks it's so magical how a how a caterpillar rurns into a butterfly 🦋, but doesn't give a shit about how a maggot turns into a fly? It's the exact same thing!

This is a #Caturday story in 3 parts

Mario in 1982 vs. Mario in 1989 ...he really let himself go

🎶 Please-oh please-oh, gimme that cheeze-oh 🎶

What the heck USPS?!

Listing some old games on eBay, and it turns out that Bomberman Online for Dreamcast sells for around $75+... WTF, I think it sucks. Why so much?

"Hey, what's going on down there?" #caturday

I don't think this will be as easy to fix as I was hoping...

Tulips!

Hanami 花見 ...and a dog.

Lucky's loafing around on #caturday

I've come to the conclusion that Afroman has real-life bardic abilities.

The Mario Bros. are from Brooklyn and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are from New York. In the Mario Bros. arcade game, Mario and Luigi beat up on turtles living in the sewers. I'll let you draw your own conclusions...

Arcade update: The new power supply arrived and now Capcom Bowling works again. ... I'll recap the monitor someday, but getting Donkey Kong and Dazzler working is a higher priority.

It's always weird eating at an asian run american chinese food restaraunt, knowing that the proprietors never cooked like this in their home country.

Arcade update: My Capcom Bowling power supply died, It's an old Peter Chou, so I ordered a generic replacement for it. Also, just after I tracked my Donkey Kong issues down to a weak-ish +5v, it's PS died. I only have -5v. Hopefully its's just a couple of cheap voltage regulators. We'll see.

Why are there so many furries here? Sheesh! Weirdos.

The yorkie's taking his lambchop for a walk on the exercise wheel.

Maybe I should hook up a generator to the exercise wheel?

Lucky's looking a bit sassy today.

All the sweet potatoes I've been buying lately aren't sweet. Is there a secret to picking a good sweet potato, or is it just the time of year?

Lucky's up to some #Caturday shenanigans.

Is Ashit Asshat the funniest possible sounding name? I'd love to be proven wrong.

When I was little, I thought the "ARRRGH!" was just another way of spelling "Arf!"

Ok, last one I swear! ..and I know the Carpenters covered it too. Karen's got a great voice but I think their version is a little corny/wimpy. This is a much better cover.

With your mind, you have ability to form And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm You close your eyes You concentrate, together that's the way To send the message, we declare World Contact Day! Calling occupants of interplanetary craft...

Why didn't I know this song exists until just now?!

Dinner time! #caturday

I think I figured out the source of the missing sprites on my Donkey Kong arcade machine. The 10125@ 1H on the video board has properly pulsing inputs, but all the outputs are stuck low. Now I just need to wait for the new chip to arrive to confirm.

I hate LED tail lights. They're so bright that If I glance at them for more than half a second, I can still see them 5 seconds later.

To honor presidents day, we should all listen to some music by The Presidents of the United States of America. Peaches, Lump, Kitty, Mach 5, Volcano, whatever you like best.

I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing, but I think I'm starting to grasp the concept of using schematics and a logic probe to figure out what's wrong with my Donkey Kong pcb after 6 months of messing with it. And in related news, I just bought a bunch of chips from Twisty Wrist Arcade.

There's gotta be something I can use all this Babybel wax for. Seems like a waste to throw it out.

This place needs more cats!

Hey fellas, want to last longer in bed? I've got just the pill for you... Melatonin You'll sleep great.

Cut the cake Cake ain't good Cut the rug Don't know if I should Cut the floor The floor ain't wood, O.K.! Cut the concrete Cut it with your feet!

Arcade update: Replaced the ROMs on my Donkey Kong and now it kind-of works! Yay, progress!! Now I've just gotta fix the missing sprites and bad colors. #arcade #donkeykong

Somehow my wife lived through the Y2K scare (as an adult) completely unaware that the Y2K scare ever existed. How is that even possible?!!
