Munich's BMW museum kicks ass. Here's Elvis' BMW 507 www.bmw-welt.com/en/ausstellu...

I think this means that I can pilot a blimp now. Only one way to find out kojira.github.io/bluesky-lice...

Got our first pine warbler of the year at our bird feeder

Mickey Mouse would like you to punch a Nazi today

Hamburg Punk Rock City Moin moin! (I'm in Munich and this rocks)

I still have it. You keep the important things The best $1.65 my parents ever spent

I'm halfway through reading The Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com It's the best sci-fi I have read in years: completely riveting. I tear through reading the books like I did when I was a teenager Highly recommend www.marthawells.com/murderbot.htm

Munich beer gardens are a pupper’s paradise This guy is keeping everyone in line

The most amazing thing you’ll see today I guarantee is this frame-by-frame animated remake of “Sabotage”. youtu.be/lgXSDPmOWCE?...

I switched my Nintendo Donkey Kong Junior cabinet to Donkey Kong. Easy conversion (board swap and art change) I bought this cabinet because it was in beautiful shape, and was completely untouched. Security seals were still on the monitor, PCBs, etc. I was the first arcade tech to work on it 1/X

Happy Towel day (aka Douglas Adam's birthday) for all who celebrate Here's my OG copy of the infamous (and amazing) Infocom's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure, with a DON'T PANIC! button, peril-sensitive sunglasses, fluff, and a microscopic space fleet

I decided to go with don't think, just post the first nerdy/Waffle-House-y thing that popped into my mind This is what popped into my mind. Welcome to my brain #atari

We have a chipped sparrow that has been gorging at our bird feeder for a month+ and has achieved near-perfect roundness We're not sure how he's still able to fly

Every one in a while I remember that periodical cicadas evolved to understand prime numbers and it brings me joy www.bbc.com/news/magazin...

I got home and my copy of SABR's Cape Cod Baseball League was waiting for me. @markmorow.com and I wrote the chapter on Paul Logan (Cotuit Kettleers treasurer). I attended a bunch of Kettleer's games as a kid, so this was an awesome experience for me. Paul Logan's life story is amazing

My reply to @markmorow.com about Sadaharu Oh is how I joined this crew @nedpyle.com @fpieces.bsky.social @iananderson.bsky.social @ajohnsocyber.bsky.social @restinbeachface.bsky.social @khaxan.bsky.social @bjsplash.bsky.social @zarchasmpgmr.bsky.social @sqlcheesecake.bsky.social @blemley.us

Ruby-throated hummingbirds have arrived on Peaks Island I love the sound they make then they take off

Northern Cardinals have joined our bird feeder party

I checked out this issue from February 1986, and learned that I must be an Olympic sharpshooter "Nintendo's VS Hogan's Alley catches the eye of the Rice University Police Department . . . not just for amusement, but a training tool as well!" LOL, it's for "training" archive.org/details/Cana...

These Star Wars photos are a real treat www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

I found this while cleaning our some (very) old stuff This is my first third-party penetration test (from late Nov 1994) for a news agency on Wall Street. I negotiated $50/hour plus expenses (I used vacation time to do it) I hacked all the things, and they ignored all of my findings 1/2

I love Dr. Mario's music. Here it is (this is before my son and I restored the monitor). I'll show what the restored monitor looks like in my reply I owned this (awesome) game for 20+ years and didn't know it had attract music. My son read the manual, flipped a DIP switch, and here it is

In SABR news: CAPE COD BASEBALL LEAGUE: From College Stars to Big League Futures will be available soon. @markmorow.com and I interviewed the amazing Paul Logan (Cotuit Kettleers board member and treasurer) for the chapter we wrote I attended many Kettleers games as a kid, so this was a real treat

On the plane back to the states. Finally wrapping up my trip visiting four continents in five weeks I'll be home for two weeks and then I head to San Diego Here's the last photo I took in Amsterdam

This chonky chipping sparrow is enjoying elevenses in my backyard feeder on Peaks Island

Hello, Amsterdam! I'm on my fourth continent in under five weeks (which is nuts, even for me): Home -> Singapore -> Port Douglas -> Sydney -> Hawaii -> home (4 days) -> Halifax (for AtlSecCon) -> St. Andrews (1 night stopover while driving back to Maine) -> home (2.5 days) -> Amsterdam

Spring has sprung on Peaks Island: the first Chipping Sparrow this year showed up at my bird feeder today

was once New Amsterdam.

Brought our Australian stockpile back home and shared with everybody Violet Crumbles are everyone's favorite Tim Tams took a strong second place

It’s great to be back at the Atlantic Security Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia! My talk is at 2:00 PM #atlseccon atlseccon2026.sched.com/event/28IjY/...

I grew up in Boston (Southie and Dorchester). My stepfather was a massive baseball fan, and so was I We idolized Hank Aaron Here's one of Schultz' Hank Aaron themed strips. It appears in The Complete Peanuts 1973-194, page 95. Screenshot from the PDF I just downloaded from Fantagraphics 2/X

Fantagraphics has a fantastic deal on the collected works of Charles Schultz' Peanuts for $25. I could not smash the buy button fast enough I will never forget Schultz' Hank Aaron narrative from August 1973 1/X #Cardsky @fantagraphics.bsky.social www.humblebundle.com/books/collec...

Loved this NPR story by Julia Gunther and Nick Schönfeld I've often wondered what life was like on Tristan da Cunha (formerly known as Saint Helena)

Anthropic also stole and trained their LLM using my CISSP books, so I submitted my claim last week. I will get a pittance from the unethical thieves that stole them Last year Syngress asked me update the CISSP Study Guide (to v5): I said no. Because some asshole will steal that too 1/2

Enjoyed a 45 hour Sunday due to the magic of the international date line We took off from Sydney at 10:19 PM Sunday and landed in Honolulu at 11:07 AM... Sunday. A 9+ hour flight. Time travel is hard Bet hey, we're in Hawaii, so I can't complain

We grabbed dinner tonight at The Rocks in Sydney and mother nature put on a show The skies turned black just before we headed out and I wondered if we should cancel our dinner plans I'm glad we didn't

We took the ferry from Sydney's Circular Quay to Watsons Bay for lunch today

With Frank Thomas in the news for suing the White Sox, give his SABR bio a read. sabr.org/bioproj/pers.... @ericconrad.com and I went as deep as we could and even went over the word count a little. The break up was bad and the animosity continues to this day clearly.

Hello, Sydney! This view of the Opera House never gets old We're taking a ferry from Circular Quay tomorrow, will post closer photos then

Finally managed to see a Cassowary at the Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat They have a reputation as "the world’s deadliest bird" (which is overstated). Two confirmed deaths over 100 years, to my knowledge They are a sight to behold. Meet Cass, who is chilling out www.wildlifehabitat.com.au 1/X

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Cyclone Narelle's path moved a bit further north, and we're no longer under a cyclone warning in Port Douglas. We're getting bands of monsoon rain here (with sunlight in between). Surf's crazy. We're heading to Surfy's for happy hour to watch the ocean mayhem

On vacation in Port Douglas Australia with my wife after working in Singapore Cyclone Narelle (predicted to reach category 5) is hitting north of here tomorrow night My first cyclone (been though plenty of hurricanes), and first cat 5 anything The best part of travel: experiencing new things 1/X

We left Singapore yesterday You'll never guess where we are now

NYT Spelling Bee players rejoice: I saw BAOBAB trees in real life at Singapore's Gardens by the Bay. #nytbee www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en/learn-wit...

Our last night in Singapore. It did not disappoint I was here for work for two weeks and my wife joined me a few days ago Here's my view of the Disney Marina Bay fireworks/drone show from the CÉ LA VI Singapore rooftop bar (Marina Bay Sands) tonight Details in the alt text 1/X

I'm in Singapore, and I distinctly "remember" a 1990s story about an American teenager sentenced to punishment by caning for spitting out chewing gum A British coworker "remembered" the same thing It's totally untrue. Does anyone else "remember" that? Weird en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_...

Made a new friend in Singapore today This is one of the four Explorers of Sentosa on Palawan Beach in Singapore, by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. Details in the alt text 1/X
