GM folks 🌄 Because I live in the greater Seattle area, I am legally obligated to put Seahawks colors out today. 1️⃣2️⃣

New Silkscreened tote bags complete! I made 100 bags over a 7 day print studio rental, two designs, both double sided! ✨️🎨 Hoping to sell these at upcoming in-person conventions/markets!

I mean, I can't be the only idiot solo dev that does this on the regular, right? Right?! RIGHT!?!?!?

Me, this morning: Making great progress here, maybe I'll have something live soon! Me, this afternoon: Hrm, ORMs are slow, right? What if I used raw SQL, or a builder? Me, this evening: So I just have to rewrite all my queries, make them objects, JSON encode and write a custom response. No sweat!

Now I know of exactly two people that have heard of, much less read, We.

Thank you! It is a science FACT that if you stare at it whilst you eat your tacos, it makes them taste even better :-D

Oh wow, what a fun idea! Going to give this a peek after work.

Tacos are rad. This one is even radder!

GM folks 🌄 It’s Friday, and the weekend lies ahead. Hope y’all have some wonderful plans for yourselves. Here’s a throwback to last October when the husky took a nap on the front steps. Cold air, warm sun, perfect!

After fighting with SQLModel / pydantic / SQLAlchemy for most of the day, things are finally moving along.

There's an example for a #FastAPI response middleware that is in various places around the web (SO)—and thus in google search AI results, et al—that does not work in practice. Here is a short thread on what is wrong and how to correctly handle what is happening. (Can you spot the lurking issue?)

if bmo could walk around and use their arms this would be so cool. i guess tiny arms with fingers are extremely hard to build. but i wonder they would do . imagine they just decide to watch adventure time all day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5gg...

Oh shit. This is rad!

For today's #FebruArty theme of #forgotten, an old drawing in a style I used to do a lot but have just about forgotten how to do 😂

Rhyme a word, ruin a classic... The Old Van and The Sea

Ensign A-F (me!) has details to show you! Here is an asteroid field and a nebula, as colourful as popular because we are boldly going! #art #StarTrek

you can like.. mockup anything with a cube and a cylinder! kinda digging the look of it too.. why even create actual props? 🤔

GM folks 🌅 Hope y’all are well today. I was going through my camera roll and I think I want to turn this hill of mushrooms into a little village in Blender. 🍄

Look, I want to go touch the rings of Saturn, do shrooms at the Pillars of Creation, and see everything beyond as much as the next space geek. I’m just not willing to shit all over this planet and exploit anyone with less than $100B to do it. Also, I think earth is pretty neat. 🌍🫂

Important Get-Work-Done Tip: Do not stay up reading engaging science fiction until 4 am if you are required to be awake two hours later to prepare your child for school. 💫 TMYK 💫

Et c'est reparti pour une autre étude de photo. Faut pas me laisser toute seule trop longtemps, j'ai un problème de p'tits traits.

No

GM everyone 🌄 Not so sure the groundhog was right this year; yesterday was near 60° here and everything’s starting to bud or flower. Longer days and happy plants on Feb 3. I’ll take it!

Since it’s Black History Month, I put together a booklist of graphic novels written/drawn by Black creators, and/or centering Black stories & experiences! 🌟 Go give these a read and support the authors/artists! I’ll also spotlight some of my favs throughout the month. bookshop.org/lists/graphi...

AND LETTERED BY THE LEGENDARY JODIE TROUTMAN ✍️ WHEN I TELL YOU IT’S AN ALL-STAR TEAM-UP!! Go sign up for the KS so you don’t miss the launch!! 🚀

Turn your sound UP!!!!

"I am personally of the opinionated, obsessive, craft + taste > market analysis, vertical integration, long timelines ilk of technologist" Vastly underrated sentiment. When you are committed to the people and the craft (not the dollar), then your software will flourish alongside those who use it.

I do love it when people spin up a website with "100% custom technology" only to forget to do things like replace the T&C instructions in their Wix template. Bonus: Search for the exact string and, well, you guessed it ... www.google.com/search?q=%22...

Update(!): Needed to get y'all a fresh snap of the husky for your day.

GM folks 🌄 Hope your Monday went well and that there’s more great things ahead for you this week!

You ever type out a meticulously researched, dozen-post-long screed with screenshots and everything, only to scrap it in favor of writing a blog post for later? Nah, me either.

Continuous Irritation

To get my mind off things this weekend I (finally, after 2 years) routed this butcher block top, oiled it, built a base from an old bunk bed frame, and mounted it for the kitchen. Then had neighbors over for a small Tu BiShvat nosh as a test run. (Not all food yet laid out in these pics)

Groundhog Day 2026: “Have you tried our chatbot?”

Beautiful landscape and atmosphere in both these excellent snaps.

If today me told teenage me how much time and energy is spent modeling, texturing, and optimizing rocks and stones in video games, teenage me would have gotten a dual PhD in geology and 3D modeling for sure. 🎮🪨

Hi Everyone! I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to share a project I've been working on. I was always too self-conscious to share any WIP shots, but I wanna try and get more comfortable with that. Gonna try to post again and share my progress on this one 😉

GM folks 🌅 Spent the weekend mostly offline, working on a kitchen island, and recharging. Hope y’all got to have a restorative couple of days. Here’s the husky sleeping early a few nights ago, half jammed under my bed.

How great does this sound? Our composer has been making a new batch of songs for our game. They're already sounding so good! #gamedev #indiegames #videogamemusic #composition #indiegamedev

for fuck safe 🤬 watchout those scammers.

A giant mushroom. Wasn't expecting this. But it was pretty amazing. Kew Gardens. London #Referenceimages #Environmentreferences

Pretzel in action! 🥨 This hanging tree enrichment encourages natural muskox behaviors like browsing, headbutting, romping and ramming. Skills Pretzel was more than happy to demonstrate. 🌲 📹: Animal care staff Dayna

Had a shit day yesterday (long story for another day) so feeling pretty down on human beings today. Probably going to sit the weekend out.

Software Fact #3,761: No matter how a frontend framework implements scoped styles, it is always wrong.

I'm still irrationally into this track. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WHw...

I spotted fresh bear tracks at Lake Serene this January 👌

A lot of great contenders, but “No Meaning” is pretty much how I feel 99% of the time.

This is one of my favourite spreads from the book. Really wanted to show as much of the painted textures as possible, and show the warmth of the sun compared to the cold space.

GM folks 🌅 We’ve made it to another Friday! How about a picture of the husky dog napping with his bone to start off your weekend.
