Today is the 36th anniversary of the pale blue dot picture. Yesterday we did a journal club about a classic Sagan paper and my grad student BP ended by sharing this video. I’d heard the more polished pale blue dot speech so many times but I find this one to be more human youtu.be/tgQ1PtkZvGU?...

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Love this. In 1999 my friend and I made a 20-foot Atari 8-bit SIO peripheral chain on the floor of my parents' basement (just to see if we could), and then set it up to record music from M.U.L.E., Ultima III, Archon, etc. to DAT. A Win98 PC and PS1 sat idle in the next room. I wish I had a picture.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

Peugeot Quasar concept (1984)

I had a dream last night that I bought a new treadmill, and it was really well made and only $250, but the reason it was so inexpensive was that the company found a way to display continuous video ads within the treads, and it forced you to look down at them and watch commercials the whole time

When this inevitably blows up in everyone’s face Atari has the opportunity to do the funniest thing

I want to thank everyone that attended Atari Party today. Such a fun day and lots of amazing friends. #Atari

I am very thankful to have met Becky at VCF East and to have chatted with her about her winning the Atari Space Invaders championship. Such an amazing person and a gaming industry legend. Sleep well Becky.
