Hah, the desert is stabby. No air leaks luckily.

Phone kiosk got an LED upgrade!

We have a working millennium! Unfortunately the bulbs I ordered for the pedistol are the wrong pin size. Anyone know what bulbs this uses? It seems to be a weird size. Like a 10-11in bulb with normal T8 pin spacing. Might just remove and replace with LED strips.

New phone, who dis?

Finally got some really good soaking rain, so it is safe to run the burn barrels for garden waste.

On that note about solar panels..... I kinda got more payphone stuff.... and might want to make a solar powered payphone..... 😁👉👈

Anyone got any 50-100W solar panels taking up space? I need to power a payphone and wifi bridge setup.

Heh, I had the coolest evil demon robot baby in the CPR/Wound Stop class. 😁

And tonight we play with the Nabu Casa voice assistant prototype hardware for Home Assistant. I'm really looking forward to where this tech goes to ditch Amazon.

I found you can set custom messages on the slushie machine :3

Dog with astronauts. One of my favorite art installs. They have Fuck ICE in marker all over. #burningman

What's up with the man being so small this year? It's a Manlette compared to last year. #burningman

Kung Pow, Enter the Fist at #burningman

Flamingo motorboating a mannequin. #burningman

Cleaning up from the storm. Minimal damage but so much dust in places we didn't really want it. Come watch movies with us at Black Rock Cinemas 5/E. #burningman

Yesterday's dust storm at #burningman as we had to brace the one shade structure we had yet to finish screwing down.

Who's at Burning Man? #burningman

Lamp #burningman 5/D

Shade structures going up at our camp at Burn. #burningman

On the way to Reno for Burning Man. Stopping over in Tonapah and finally had a chance to stay at the clown motel 🤡

Bow Chica bow wow

Burned valve before burning man. 😬

Today's pool party vibe was a queer melange of dinosaurs and firearms. 🦕

Billy yearns for the Mesh! Tinkering to put this fish on Meshtastic with Text to Speech so it can read out messages. Just starting to test a TTS module that I hope to integrate into the RAK base station. At home, all ESD safety goes out the dog door! 😁 #Meshtastic #TTS #BrainrotElectronics

The T-Deck has a Burning Man Meshtastic firmware release! Burning Mesh has coordinated mesh channels and a repeater network. This is so cool. Need to figure out loading a burning man event map on here.

I still miss ThinkGeek

adafruit: we want to confirm the opt-out settings on our slack workspace are all set so there is no ai in our workspace. slack/salesforce account exec: "AI is all around us..."

Oh, ya know, just refueling the fountain as one does. But, ya, free will means you can just go buy a fuel nozzle and make it a garden hose adapter. My neighbors probably think I'm certified crazy at this point.

New weird machine! I found this coin activated motel timer in an antique store. What does it do you ask? This is the time switch that would have been beside a motel bed to activate the "magic hands" vibrating sex beds in sketchy motels. I'm gonna hook it into Homeassistant to activate a party mode 😁

Fuck yeah, old school Weather Star 4000 simulator site with current data. It even has the music 😍 weatherstar.netbymatt.com

Oh, that phone came out super nice. Ready to be gifted to a new home.

RetroBrite process started. After just an hour the color shift is noticeable on the dial ring. The fire retardant in the plastic breaking down over the decades is definitely reversing.

The phone projects pile is growing a bit faster than I expected... 👀 White one on the right should be getting RetroBrite today.

The patio has a payphone now! Also, the obligatory fuck fiberglass insulation.

Here I am, adding some nerdy label flare to our lab equipment, and my coworkers don't even get the reference 😭

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

In the garage getting the generator ready for #Saguaroman. First time going. Anyone else heading out?

Pascal about JK Rowling and the anti trans law on UK: ‘I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist’

Carl Sagan was brilliant; and I used to think he was overly cynical. Turns out I was too optimistic. 😔

Fear and Loathing at Anthrocon. We drive Crazy Taxi to Anthrocon and have a lot of fun giving rides to fursuiters until my water temperature got too high. @anthrocon.org

Byeeeeeeeeee

We got wood!

Bobcat checking out the dinos!

So many phone repair projects! #tism
