Got snookered into a bike ride by the 2nd grader. "Dad let's bike to the park" turned into 7 mi and 5 parks

This episode contains important revelations about Bean Island in addition to the usual Laracon updates!

See you at the river* * Oxbow lake

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

Every luge replay just looks like accidentally opening my selfie camera

Witnessed this insane urinal configuration last night at Rhinelander HS

Forget nationality, I'm cheering for all the old people in the Olympics 40 year old in giant slalom? All the way

Kilopixel turned 750,000 pixels today! It's still on display at my favorite coffee shop.

I learned a lesson in multicolor printing tonight 130g waste 9g little tiny zebra

There’s so much need in Minnesota right now. Businesses are closing and rent is due soon. If you want to help people here, there are links to rent relief & other vetted mutual aid funds on standwithminnesota.com. Please boost and donate what you can. Thank you 🫶🏻

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting. More accurate terms: - observers - witnesses - volunteers - neighbors - residents - people

We had such a moving vigil on my corner. Held a long moment of silence, introduced ourselves to each other. I thought we might be standing out there on our own (it wasn’t advertised by anyone as a planned spot) but ended up in a circle with 20 other people who are all doing stuff for community.

this may not be much, but if anyone needs a website or help updating one for their immigration-related group or cause, especially if you’re in the Midwest, please let me know. I do this for a living. DMs are open

Dismantle ICE. Prosecute these murderers. Impeach, remove, and charge the people who set this into action.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Come join me and Boss Man Chris!

Trying something new with Chris today - a little open pair programming / chat. Join us!

My art project is coming along nicely - I now have a 4 note prototype to prove out some first ideas I'm going to be so sick of these notes

Can you imagine being the software engineers, engineering managers, product managers, designers, QA testers, and devops that built and run this? Cashing out your palantir equity for "deportation targets"? Accomplices and ghouls, all of them

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates. share.google/J00lpWzPzOu2...

The Horn of Gondor is just a really fancy whistle.

I've seen this passed around a bunch and skimmed it and nodded in agreement (because obviously the new mac OS interface design is bad), but I didn't actually sit down and read the whole thing until just now. God, it's just brutal. tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-i...

Good morning, keyboard warriors

Tomorrow's sunrise will be a little bit earlier than today. We did it

This is one of my favorite intrusive facts

Sometimes you fart in your snow bibs and don't smell anything, then a minute later you sit down Poof!

Scaling up 👀

I have one goal for 2026 and it's to host a paddle up concert on Bean Island

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

Just replaced an old shovel. Sorry about all the microplastics, y'all

Thanks to this fine nerd I now have some prototype chimes for an art project I'm proving out

I occasionally like to share these "Mercator vs Real Country Size" animations to encourage you to buy a globe. Nothing fancy - just a basic globe. It does wonders in helping you (and your kids) to understand the world. Source: buff.ly/EGdKGR3

The post-snowstorm feeding frenzy is so satisfying

I'll repost any personal website that features an open invitation to pair program! (and you should pair with Bernhard)

Took care of a friend's dogs this morning, I think they like me

two things are true: in a remote setting, on a dark night, the deep sky is a truly profound experience that has influenced human philosophy, faith and religion for countless generations and that experience got absolutely rinsed by the first RCA 10 inch television

Found an incredible old internet site today. Seems to be literally everything there is to know about chimes leehite.org/Chimes.htm

Reminder: NASA’s holiday yule log fireplace video is delightful — it’s a rocket engine (in a fireplace). “8.8 million pounds of total thrust…” [kottke.org]

Happy solstice everyone! ☀️

You're mad because you expect a "software update" to make things work better. You will only be free when you understand this to be an illusion and accept the fact that software is suffering
