not currently in my home (in storage) but I own one of the last surviving artifacts of the USSR’s Glavkosmos from the brief period of perestroika where it looked like it might be viable to use their rockets as a launch vehicle for Western satellites. It’s a 9-foot-tall model of the Energia Buran.

I need to rework the price crawler for @filmpricedropbot.bsky.social . It's fragile and can break if any product page 404's. I may even experiment to see if I can match URLs to product names using some fuzzy logic so I don't have to maintain an exact list of every product URL.

❤️ back at @jacobrichardson.bsky.social , Dumes, and everyone else in the Science Evaluation Room

Yes, I did find one of these at Goodwill back in 2022. Yes, it did come home with me.

The opening scene of Cool Hand Luke, but it's those stupid flock cameras.

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work! I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

They even made it girthier. I can't.

Farther than we can see, there is comfort and hope.

One of the more important videos of 2026

This is a @techconnectify.bsky.social appreciation shout out.

I honestly thought the thread was an elaborate analogy until the videos were posted.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

@ericmigi.com Will rePebble return to the San Mateo Event Center for @opensaucelive.bsky.social ?

AI can and has been used to describe everything from Lt Cmdr Data to the tictactoe player I coded in high school. As with all marketing terms, find out what's being sold and by whom.

It may be cheaper, but don't buy your lab supplies from Sigma-Eldritch.

“I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I’m not kidding"

This is one of the better framings of LLM output I've read. No, your AI isn't lying about deleting a database. It has no concept of blame or truth. It's saying it didn't do it because the median sentence would say "I didn't delete the database".

New fountain pen day: Schon DSGN Pocket Six in Extragalactic Green Satin-finished cursive Monoc nib.

A few people have reached out wanting to share stories (anonymously) about games they've worked on that got canceled this year I'm thinking this might need to be a video If you or anyone you know worked on a project that deserves to be mourned, even if it never made it to announcement, lets talk

I need to slow down, pause, and think for a second before I get this wrong.

Esterbrook J with a 2284 broad stub Diamine Pelham Blue Tomoe River 68gsm Copying Ignition! by John D. Clark for fountain pen handwriting practice

I got myself the set of Diamine fountain pen inks inspired by Gibson Les Paul guitars.

Hey fountain pen ink fans! I put together a small survey about folk's preferred inks and I appreciate any and all participants! forms.gle/TRywVGngM4F4... #fountainpen

Just some large format #filmphotography preparation.

Goodbye to Lamy's flagship fountain pen store in San Francisco (and NYC)

I would just like to go on record as saying: the fuck

Newly inked fountain pens, featuring some new-to-me vintage Esterbrook stub nibs.

Cataloguing and making sure all my Pentax film cameras in the collection still work.

Oh hell yeah

@samreich.bsky.social is Dropout America looking for government contracts?

Fireball over the SF Bay Area last night

Just a Sheaffer School #fountainpen, but I finally found one in one of those thrift store pen bags.

Look at these little guys

Deep-dish pizza is an immersive sim.

From the flea market: 15 issues of Space World Magazine from the 60s

@hankgreen.bsky.social does a full Chewy Decimal System spreadsheet exist and can we see it?

Been enjoying @nr.fm playing on my TVs

Look @willovergard.bsky.social ! Clio's a TV star!

Oh jeez, getting a YouTuber ™️ senator is a "when, not if" thing.

I cannot fix the worlds ills right now, but I can provide this: We did a Hot Pepper Gaming tribute about Rain World, as put together by @deusjz.live. It's been 12 years since I did this and, well, just see for yourself: youtu.be/XsUTxHYBUi4

I found negatives of four Atlas rocket launches. The serial number is visible on the first two (44 and 109D). Does space Bluesky have any idea which the other two could be? 🛰️ (CC @sciguyspace.bsky.social )

To prevent spamming the #filmphotography feed, @filmpricedropbot.bsky.social now threads each day's posts.

Perfect practice film. Cheap to buy, cheap to develop. Push it two stops for higher contrast and to really hone getting your exposure right.

Dang, I choose three storefronts to try and avoid all of them being 🇨🇦, but hey, I guess that's just how it is sometimes.

I've moved @filmpricedropbot.bsky.social over from Mastodon. It'll post if it sees an online store reduce the price of a film stock listing. #filmphotography

Space Shuttle Atlantis returning from STS-74, 20 November 1995. Scan of original 70mm negative.

I've got a binder filled with old space program negatives that I'm finally getting around to archiving.
