Nobody has an explanation for the absolutely insane decisions they made with respect to their kitchen cabinet organization.

This is my boy, Harry. He lives on my stairs and is big as hell.

what’s your sign?

First fire of the year

If you type in incomplete sentences. And write fragments on separate lines. It doesn’t make your point any more impactful. It just makes it sound weird in my head.

Another batch of freshly rebuilt iBook clamshell batteries, this time with Samsung 30Q. A little less capacity at around 4,000mAh, but much better fit for the “wire” variety of OEM battery. Get yours here for $250 with core return: blog.lazd.net/rebuilding-a...

Makin’ another thing. What if you could add phone-based proximity unlock to any car with power locks, even a 30 year old Japanese sports car?

Happy St. Pat’s from my book to yours!

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

This is what someone did to the Skechers ad in my subway station.

Mulholland drive in a LS-swapped 300ZX.

When we outsource a task to technology, we start to lose the ability to do that task. When it was long division and wayfaring, most people were willing to make the trade. But when it’s critical thinking? 😬

She’s sitting pretty after a throwing on Powertrix coilovers, front and rear upper control arms, tension rods, inner and outer tie rod ends, and front ball joints. Tons of work but daaaaaaamn

My LS swapped 1992 300ZX put down 405WHP on the dyno totally untuned!

I made some dumb pixel art today and put it on a mousepad. www.redbubble.com/i/mouse-pad/...

Two more iBook batteries rebuilt today! This is the first time I’ve rebuilt the “wired” style pack with orange cells. It was considerably harder to do because the cells didn’t fit as nicely in the case, so some clipping of plastic tabs was required. The pile of old cells grows…

“Oh the diversity”

Big thanks to @lazd.net for rebuilding my iBook clamshell lithium battery. Now I can use it as a real laptop!

First review on the product page: PVC cutters work great on this hose. Amazon’s “artificial intelligence”: I don’t see any reviews mentioning PVC cutters. Use swivel connectors!

“LET ME JUST CHECK THE TIME” I say, loudly, before pressing a button on my 1970s Compuchron LED watch, causing the time to flash on the watch face for less than 1 second. My wife, in the other room, audibly rolls her eyes. I smile.

The same dudes who fetishize the supposed lost strength and competence of their forefathers want computers to write their emails for them.

Installing this FAST 92mm intake manifold and throttle body required the use of a hammer to get it to fit under the hood. But it’s all worth it to have more zoom zoom.

Evacuating from the LA fires now. Currently safe, heading south with wife, animals, and important items.

Doing strange things with tiny computers again. The HPDL-1414 bubble display feels at home in this 70s Compuchron watch, but the fact that it has an ESP32 microcontroller and uses WiFi to hit a NTP server and synchronize its real time clock really makes it feel space age.

Watch this space…

The good thing about big tech is they eventually pass out from sniffing each other’s farts

The intractability proof (a.k.a. Ingenia theorem) implies that any attempts to scale up AI-by-Learning to situations of real-world, human-level complexity will consume an astronomical amount of resources (see Box 1 for an explanation). 13/n

The Mac Mini M4's internal SSD read performance is over twice as fast as the Mac Mini M2 in some tests, and even write performance got a small bump... That 2 NAND SSD is putting in work!

Cute, innit?

This brings me back to the days when Sheep.exe roamed freely on my Windows desktop, or Zipple transformed my Apple menu into a 3D spinning icon, or when Watcher put a little set of eyes in the menu bar to follow my cursor around. This kind of silly stuff makes computers fun to use again!

Sure, it’s #ProofOfCat, but who typed this post?
