I finally fixed the Bratzcam after two years of it being broken. Here's Hobie, for the first time, in Bratzvision

This event looks awesome, although pretty spendy (700euros virtual, double that for on-site in Berlin 🙀) – could be cool if you can get your employer to pay!

We met at this adorable leucistic raccoon out by Lake Merritt 🤩✨
Look at ittttt galumphinnggggg ✨
Ignore my inane chatter...

(Resisted feeding it my leftover potatoes; I will happily accept Points for my noble sacrifice)

// #BayArea #Oakland #Raccoon #Raccoons #cute

A raccoon with very pale markings, nosing around by the lakeside, looks up and then cautiously approaches the camera, sometimes standing up or backing away, and eventually slopes off into the dark. I'm going "hello little guy!" and "Ohohohohohooo!" like a fool.

Miller's hat in The Expanse should really be considered a character of its own. It has an arc and everything.

9:57pm Pacific: bright white sky-streak like a large meteor or reentry, north of Oakland, east to west, across maybe 3° of sky? Maybe much more. ✨
Any thoughts?

Construction equipment outside making a beep that reminded me of this music video (Pork and Beans by Weezer): https://youtu.be/PQHPYelqr0E?feature=shared

What a goddamn wholesome adaptation of early '00s internet culture. Great "let's start fresh today" vibes 💙✨

Stuck on the tarmac for 2 hours now... wish we could crack a window, but in the meantime, here are my faves from yesterday :)

Our fully eclipsed star above a dim landscape – sky gradiented from dark to deep red, as at dawn but with the sun high in the sky!

I've been doing a lot of reposts for a while because of moving into a new place. The process is slowing down now, and I'm looking forward to sharing more original projects and stuff!

For now, check out this #AxiDraw #PenPlotter heart I put together last month :) It's adapted from a circular SVG by an unknown designer, which has been laying around in the Hackster company files for some years.

A behemoth fighting corporate AI because THEY care about their bottom line and have the money/power to defend it. Love to see it!!! Give me more! Pipe it directly into my eyeballs 😸💙✨
(Srsly, feel free to share more – I know there have been others like this, and it is SO delicious!)

Oh my gosh I just figured it out.

Okay, all you open source evangelist people: your knee-jerk reaction to come at people who are talking about a problem with whatever commercial software they use and suggest Your Favorite Alternatives™ is exactly like saying "why don't you just buy a house?" to someone complaining about their landlord.

EDIT: There's more than one post here. Pick apart the analogy if you will but... beware you'll be proving the point.

Gotta go keep-alive my old Gmail account tonight, so it doesn't get purged.

TWO little girls told me they like my hair this evening!!! ✨😭✨

I was waiting for takeout in the hamburder shop and a girl got up down the table and came over near me and very shyly said it while looking at her dad ✨

The other was part of a small troupe walking past me on the sidewalk with their grown-up

This really is the BEST REASON to keep it as-is... omg I feel magical~ and so lucky that they see me as a safe person to say that to.

Just had to let that out 💙✨✨ oh my heart

Have OpenAI & Microsoft considered just not doing LLMs? No one actually needs them and even if they don't destroy the world they're going to make the Internet way more annoying.

Can we just skip this one? Maybe put those resources into making printers not suck? Or Bluetooth that handles device-switching better? Or even like a really good open source Artifactory alternative that doesn't need the JVM?
