Upland, CA is flaunting two beautiful original art deco buildings

I made a huge mistake

There is currently only one node with tag camera:type=obscura on @openstreetmap.bsky.social, operated by @ucriverside.bsky.social Art Department. Should it be added as an official tag? Maybe represented by an upside down camera?

For around $10 I bought a big box of old hard drive magnets. I'm using two to secure a broken pin to my backpack. They work great, and I'm kinda thinking of breaking all the sharp bits off the rest of my pins

The Nexoft Dominator Master Control for the NES has a lot of dials and switches and buttons to press

Today on a bike ride with my kid my leg started to suffer shooting pains if I pedaled hard. I increased my ebike assist and made it up a hill to home without too much more pain. The ride could have been ruined without the assist

I have added a seventh and eighth clock

Boutta riiip these packs open on the train. What's your "Chase Meridian" card for the Fleer 1995 Batman Forever set??

Non-level boarding just cost me a box of cookies. I was lifting the stroller into the train and a box slipped out of the bottom holder area. Then I kicked it into the tracks 🙃 bye bye cookies. I hope you were delicious

Over/under on this time capsule surviving 100 years, let alone 200? The hubris of past generations

I used a payphone today to play walzr.com/payphone-go/

You know the crazy thing about being half deaf? It kinda has its benefits. I sleep like a baby. I face my bad ear towards things I don't want to hear. Would still prefer to have two working ears but I do have to be honest. Permanent loud tinnitus can be annoying

After two failed attempts, I have finally made Good Gnocchi. The secret? Actually following the recipe!! And because I was strapped for time and couldn't make a good sauce, I just dumped canned marinara on it. Shrug.

I have added a sixth clock

Rolled credits on Demonschool (again and again...) after 50+ hours. Hard to say if I did everything what with no achievements on the Switch. I'm missing one ability, and apparently one ending! This won't drive me crazy. Nope

This month's retro calendar: Howard the Duck, March 1987

I bought some LA Olympics merch by @sandraboynton.bsky.social but it arrived a little too late. Or early?

Having done the briefest of history research, I found that not everything is digitized yet, and what is, might be behind a paywall. Just goes to show how spoiled we are with @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social and @archive.org

You know what would be so funny? If @jamesgunn.bsky.social quit

The slow decline and eventual disappearance of Riverside Chinatown from 1895 to now, visualized with @oldinsurancemaps.net

Organizing gives you carte blanche to buy more things because now you have the proper place to store them

Bike parking at Ameal Moore Nature Center, Riverside, CA

I have added a fifth clock

Today East Bay Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan introduced the "E-Bike Accountability Act", proposing mandatory registrations & license plates for all Class 2 & 3 e-bikes. Learn more & join us in opposition to this counter-productive proposal by signing our petition at bikeeastbay.org/SayNoToEbike...

I have added a fourth clock

Gravity in 2013. Not because of the movie, far from it. This was my second viewing and I convinced a friend to join. Something was wrong with the sound which cut off a fair bit of dialog and other background sounds. I wanted my friend's experience to be perfect

Can anyone help me hook this up to my X Box? I want to play Jack Daxster

Did anyone think of the design of this range?

Biking culture in Riverside runs deep. Bike lanes are not a new fad but a return to an age of easy and freeing transportation

Couldn't stay the whole day but I still had a lot of fun at @vcfsocal.bsky.social. Til next year!

NFC? Get that crap outta here Oh, misread NFC as NFT again...

On my way to @vcfsocal.bsky.social via @metrolinksocal.bsky.social and my trusty steed

Found another custom map highlighting yet another niche interest: architects! Select any highlighted building to see the architect, and hopefully learn more on Wikipedia

A fishing tycoon is arrested in an elaborate sting operation, but claims he’s the real hero fighting back against an overbearing state. So who is Carlos “The Codfather” Rafael really? The first episode drops Wednesday, February 11: https://bit.ly/4rc1S8W

The most hilarious and poignant best game of the year list. I will look at all other lists in shame

1946 wall calendar with cartoons by Bill Eddy. Still in the original envelope! This calendar will be reusable in 2030

Seeing more birbs here so I formally submit my own, with a scritch test per birb. Ruffles test: pass. Earl Gray test: STOP TOUCHING ME

It's the advertisers who are insufferable. They call it "the big game" when everyone knows it's called the super bowl

Flipping through a 100 year old yearbook and getting flashbanged with a minstrel show picture

Just made my first edit ever to @openhistoricalmap.org using @oldinsurancemaps.net backgrounds. Feels like I just unlocked something big. Immediately requested more maps. Now I have to bring this to the attention of the local historical societies

Riverside and San Bernardino, California are now on @oldinsurancemaps.net! oldinsurancemaps.net/viewer/river... oldinsurancemaps.net/viewer/san-b... Will hopefully be processing more maps this month

This month's retro calendar: Howard the Duck, February, 1987

Found two AI slop books being sold at a kid's museum right next to real beautiful kids books. I don't want to post the pictures because it just upsets me. I wouldn't be surprised if the "author" worked at the museum or something because no reasonable person would put these up for sale

I took my typewriter for a bike ride. The question I got the most: "Why do you have a typewriter?"

Hold on, let me fix that real quick.
