Doing my weekly winding of my grandfather clock made me realize. This 1600s technology lasts a week. I have to charge my Apple Watch nightly. 🤦

I ordered a set of metal #dice and also received this card, which is immediately going in my wallet.

I'm thinking of starting up a wordpress site to kind of collect all my thoughts and projects, etc. Pretty sure nobody would ever read it, though I could always repost it here. I'm a bit concerned about security. It's gotten a bad rep over the years. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Was just watching The Super Mario Bros Super Shoe from the #80s. Mario fell and said “Ow! My aching pasta noodle.” Uhm… w… what are you talking about, Mario?

A bit of a throwback, but saw this in the store and had to pick it up. #Nostalgia #80s

It's been a while since I've posted on BlueSky. Kinda feels like I'm fishing for friendships. Maybe social media just isn't my thing. Anyone else feel like that? Or am I just speaking into the void?

There's nothing quite like finding a take you don't agree with on Reddit and seeing lots of ppl supporting that take. You realize you can quietly remove hundreds of karma in the form of downvotes to individual posts.

What is #totp?

I never saw Wicked when it came out, and now there's a part 2? I guess I should just wait and watch them together?

Nick Doug > Disney Doug. I will die on this hill! #Doug #Nickolodeon #Disney

Spent the last week or so setting up the amazing Field Station 42 (github.com/shane-mason/...) to create my own retro television network! Everything runs on a Pi 5. It even has 80s and 90s commercials. #RaspberryPi #DIY #80s #90s #Linux

Had occasion to watch an episode of Mister Roger's Neighborhood this morning. Such a great palate cleanser for modern life and a reminder that we once strove to be kind, patient and friendly to one another. I grieve the loss of those days, and I hope they come again.

Happy #Caturday! 😸

I think Blizzard had the right idea w/ WoW Classic. But they stopped too early. What do we need to do to make Internet Classic?

Played a game of old school HeroQuest last night with some good friends. #BoardGames #Tabletop

SONIC BROOM!

1/10, would not recommend. But I made it work. #Linux #ArchBTW

Picked up a textured bed for my 3D printer. Oh, my days! I'm in love! 😍 #3dPrinting #Maker

I put in an order for filament and got a bit carried away. I think I’m good for a while. #3DPrinting #maker

“3D printing will change the world!” Me: “What if I print and Easter Island head and put googly eyes on it?” #3dPrinting #geek

Lawful Neutral? Hmm.. sure. I can see it. www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignm...

happy april 25th aka the perfect date ✨

Spent way too much time setting up Element chat yesterday after spending even more time failing to set up Revolt chat. But now I have discord-like chat on a self-hosted server! Woohoo! #DIY #Selfhosted #Linux

9 years ago today we lost Prince. One of the greatest musicians in history and the first artist I became a fan of. #Prince

Linus and Gizmo enjoying their outdoor time this #Caturday.

I put a motion sensor in my room so my wall buddy would greet me after work. (Sound required) #DIY #maker #RaspberryPi

Desperate times in the office bathroom call for desperate measures. It’s happened twice.

ChatGPT just dropped this gem in the midst of a response to a rant about python, pip and externally managed environments. I nearly spit my drink. 😆

I really don't understand ppl who enjoy Dead Cells. I just spent over an hour on the 1st boss and I don't feel like anything was gained from it. Now I've started over again and I know I'll have to fight him again. How exactly is this fun? #gaming #DeadCells

Got donated this smol boi and loaded it up with MX Linux Fluxbox. Random puzzle box for scale. Might open it later, IDK. #Linux

Had a great time GMing Tales from the Loop last night. We finished “The Recycled Boy”. Radical #80s fun! #TTRPG #TalesFromTheLoop

After a few months (half of which was waiting on shipping), my #RaspberryPi Pico powered Magic 8 Ball is complete! A tilt sensor turns the screen on when you rotate it and it cycles through about 30 phrases. #DIY #Tech #Electronics

An office of a friend of mine recently closed and they asked if I could scrub the PCs, put a fresh OS on them and donate them. What better way to spread the good word about #Linux. 😁

PSA: When designing custom PCBs, make sure you have the pins in the right position. I swapped my + and - pins for my booster and now it’s… well, I had to get creative. #DIY #RaspberryPi

New pfp, who dis?

I don't really advertise it much, but proud to announce my indie game "Heroes of Spyria" crossed 2000 downloads! store.steampowered.com/app/2420930/... #gaming #indiegames #indie #steam

Better {TOPPINGS}, better {FOOD}... {storeName}

This one’s for me mum! #StPatricksDay

Phone rings Me: Hello? Caller: Hi. Who is this? Me: who is THIS? Caller: John Me: Hi, John John: Who is this? Me: Why? John: You texted me Me: No I didn’t John: Yes you did and I need to know who you are so I can tell my mom. Me: Nope! Hang up and block. …continues

A cool weekend project! I found this modular model kit made by Rolife. Later on I can build another one and snap it to this one, effectively making a larger and larger building with different, unique rooms.

If you see this, post a vampire.

Fun, fun, fun, fun! #PiDay

I picked up this lil injection molded robot from a science center over the weekend. He needed a paint job. His pants are a tour of the galaxy. If ya know, ya know.

Snacks, you say?

I know this is satire, but I played the hell out of Papers, Please. And I'd play this even more. Then cry. #Gaming #Indiegames

Clams, a chocolate martini and flank steak stuffed with prosciutto and cheese and stuff. 🤣 I forgot but it was good! At Positano in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. Delicious! #food #FoodPorn

Let's just say... hypothetically... someone was in a hotel room. And this hotel room had a walled garden wifi network. Now, let's say they looked behind the desk and found a Ruckus wifi hotspot w/ a LAN port, hooked into it and poof! Internet.

CHICAGO I AM IN YOU!

Found some software on github called Logging Made Easy (LME) to pull all of your server system logs to a centralized server for SIEM and diagnostics. Cool... cool. Who makes this? Oh. The US government? #technology #tinfoilhat #waitwhat

Going on a trip tomorrow and my shower speaker that I’ve had forever fell and broke off its handle. #3DPrinting to the rescue!
