Know what I miss? Slide projectors. That mechanical thunking noise they make when the carousel advances. It's like a Pavlovian response, I think about that noise and suddenly I'm sitting in a dark room looking at a screen.

Took me way too long and too much Google to remember Dan Flavin's name. I got there with "florescent light tubes artist", finally. Embarrassing since I used to just hang out in the Flavin room at Tate Modern. It's hella vibes in there.

My mom called me on lap 69 and I all but literally picked up, screamed "MAX NEEDS TO OVERTAKE KIMI FOR P2 WITH THREE LAPS TO GO", and hung up. Don't worry, I called her back after it didn't happen. #f1

I don't know why I was so worried about Max. Start from the pit lane, p4 by lap 22? Only my boy. He'll win after the papaya boys take each other out (Oscar will hit Lando, and then whine about it). #f1 #wishfulThinking #brazilianGP

I wasn't even going to watch this race, but I am and I'm so mad. It's 9 laps in and this is the Grand Prix of Bullshit. I hope the papaya boys hit each other and double DNF. Rooting for penalties. #f1

I demand penalties for Piastri. All of them. What the hell. JUSTICE FOR CHARLES LECLERC #f1 #brazilianGP

Immediate Safety Car as Gabriel Bortoleto has one hell of a bad weekend at his home GP. Wow. Poor guy. #f1

I didn't really get to follow what happened in qualifying this weekend, but I'm so nervous for Max starting from pit lane today. #f1

Left TechBash at roughly 11, pulled into the school parking lot to get the kiddo at 4:45. Nailed it. Finally home. My dog missed me 😹

You knew it was coming: @techbash.bsky.social 2025 Tech Conference Bathroom Selfie™️

Do university students still write their finals in blue books? Is that still a thing? That was my favorite part of undergrad, because I'm a weirdo. I loved composing an entire academic essay in an hour or less.

One of the things I am known for is telling junior devs there is no crying in software development, followed up by the statement, "I'm joking, there is SO MUCH crying". #facts

Can't judge a conference by its swag, but @techbash.bsky.social does it SO well 😻 (Not pictured: the small conference sticker that actually fit in the little free space left on my laptop! More small-size conf stickers, please!)

Number one conference activity? Yappin' with @corgidev.bsky.social Someone should probably keep us away from each other so that we actually get other stuff done 😹

Time for @techbash.bsky.social 2025!!! Always a good time 💙

Max Verstappen is being about 2000x more mature about that VSC than I am 😭 #F1 #MexicoGP

My ESPN Live signal keeps dropping with 12 laps to go in the Singapore GP, and I am STRESSED #F1

Finally took the Tech Elevator sticker off my laptop. Feels weird.

Really pleased with how this came out. 😻 #illustration #art #drawing

J. Crew has me on a drip campaign with emails titled "Still thinking about the 2025 Rollneck sweater?" and y'all I have been thinking nonstop about the 2025 Rollneck sweater since it was announced a week and a half ago

Getting back into drawing and I have just been SO incredibly pleased with this illustration at every step so far. Next: ruining it all by painting 😹

Ummm @guy.dev why is my partner guiltily saying "if a long skinny box shows up at the house on Friday it's definitely not an antenna"???? Why is there an app on my home LAN that is tracking the planes flying over the house???? Why did I let you two ever interact????

Some damn youth on Reddit just referred to L.L. Bean as "the bean", as in, "I got a new Boat and Tote from The Bean" and... no. Absolutely not. We are not doing that. Preppy is a lifestyle, not an aesthetic, kids. Same as punk.

A Red Bull and a Racing Bull on the podium? 😻🙌🏻 #F1 #DutchGrandPrix

It's a bad day to be driving a Ferrari. #F1 #DutchGrandPrix

I hate genAI and yes it uses a lot of water and it's very very wasteful but I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THE WATER DOES NOT GO INTO THE DATA CENTER AND TURN INTO TOXIC SLUDGE. Go to your local Micro Center and say you want a water-cooled PC, a nerd will be very happy to show you how it works.

My #writing group discord is dead tonight, how am I supposed to procrastinate on writing?

"MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing" What did I say? It's a bubble and A LOT of people are going to lose A LOT of money. Which is why your news feed is filled with stories pumping "AI." These companies need to pump their stock. fortune.com/2025/08/18/m...

so... how are all those "we're gonna create a more ethical biz model" vc-backed crypto startups funded in 2020 doing

what is the best thing invented since 2005 and why is it flexbox

Not Lando removing the trophies from the podium before slamming his champagne 😹 Man's learnt a lesson #F1

Fun fact, the reason why northeast Ohio doesn't feel like the rest of Ohio is because we were originally part of Connecticut and still have New England vibes. I know it sounds fake, but it's not.

Some people have never heard or understood the phrase "praise in public, critique in private" and it shows.

It's this guy's birthday! He's made one whole trip around the sun. (He was born at the animal shelter, and he's the only pet I've ever had that I've known their actual birthday!)

Oscar Piastri needs one hell of an attitude adjustment. #F1

We're gonna run most of the British GP under VSC or Safety Car, aren't we? #F1

Hihihihihihihi people I do not know are actually reading the novel I wrote right now and it is simultaneously the most exciting and most horrifying thing that has ever happened to meeeeeeeeeee #booksky

Incoming #F1 rant no one cares about: it's so annoying when Lando wins a GP and McLaren takes constructor. Not because I don't like Lando or McLaren, but because I feel like we should get at least two verses of "God Save The King". The podium is like, thirty seconds long when the Brits win.

"I have all these Dockers docking." "You have... Docker up... and... containers... running?"

real talk, i am 39 years old and am incapable of sitting in a chair properly

welcome to our new followers. if we haven’t met, yes we are a sewer and stormwater utility in cleveland. expect the following content at any time: • infrastructure news • project updates • warriors blew a 3-1 lead • customer support • emotional support • memes • pop culture • poop culture

Everyone is always horrified that I don't have central AC, and I don't understand what is so bad about cooling your entire house with single wall unit from 1996 that has never known maintenance in its life. It works???

reminder that Craig Morgan's "International Harvester" is a breathtaking work of lyrical genius

once gave a conference talk where this meme was my entire "about me" slide

I'm 45% of the way through Onyx Storm, and: ⚡ Does Yarros know any synonyms for "black" other than "onyx"? ⚡ I nearly threw my Kindle because page 319 was so stupid ⚡ Let Andarna eat people, ffs (I love these books, but they're so bad) #booksky #onyxStorm #fourthWing

TFW you're first in line at the library 😻 #booksky

Another idea: a 4-hour workshop titled Art History for Technologists, where a teensy bit of humanities education hopefully changes the way y'all think about information and where it comes from.

Idea: a 4-hour workshop titled Studio Art for Technologists, where a teensy bit of studio education hopefully convinces y'all that generative AI illustration ain't actually it.
