Jesus this is insightful banger after banger.

It's current year and someone released an entire Cave Story nerdcore rap concept album and it's actually kind of good(?) Have I time traveled back to 2010?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=faBr...

this is all the gen 2 team sprites if they coughed

Earlier this year I learned that, in rare cases, Cedar Waxwings have wax on the tips of their tail feathers (the typical place is on the wing tips.) I was delighted to recently find another Cedar Waxwing that had a couple of red waxy tips on the tail feathers.

Why does my non alcoholic beer tell me not to drive??

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you: you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

The last three books about the Choctaw language & culture that I've bought have *ALL* turned out to be just AI-generated junk🤬 It's genuinely infuriating to see this careless nonsense happening, as it dilutes the actual language and culture and makes it harder for me to learn about my own humanity

My weirdest creation is almost old enough to drink.

Happy Pokemon Day!! I'm reposting the maps I drew of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Every trainer's journey through Gens 1 -4 is all here!

From the local news this morning. We love a feel good story

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

happy valentine's day! 💖

I don't usually post about this, but... it's my birthday!! And for my birthday, you should check out what I finished this week after months of work: a HUGE commemorative piece to celebrate our 1st D&D campaign! It's the most ambitious single piece I've ever attempted. I can't wait to frame it!!

Finished, and first coat of varnish on. Provisionally titled “Monolith”, acrylic, 25x30 cm.

New friends everyday

Just attended the coldest wedding ever last night (in an old historic building to boot!) it was -35°C out. Also my poor buddy slipped and fell 48 hours before his wedding day! He was a trooper and still made it on time to the ceremony!

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
