Whenever I hear this band, I'm reminded of Ozzy. For me, that's a good thing. Takes me back to "Blizzard of Oz" and "Diary of a Madman" (but without Rhodes' amazing guitar work). #NowInMyEars - kal-el.bandcamp.com/album/dark-m...

Evening work. Evening music. Figure I'd start off with something mellow. #NowInMyEars - blackglassdigital.bandcamp.com/album/paingo...

Evening work. Evening music. Getting caught up on some missed releases. #NowInMyEars - schmerkindustries.bandcamp.com/album/eight-...

Legitimate focus today on big things, but there are also little things to be aware of. www.yahoo.com/news/chinese...

Weekend work. Weekend music. #NowInMyEars (more music on @bandcamp.com that I can't embed/share yet?) actors.bandcamp.com/album/acts-o...

#vss365 #vssdaily #writeSky The C4ISR broke through the liminal buffer insulating blind loyalty from moral intuition. In the blink of an eye strict adherence to chain-of-command evaporated, warhead safeties re-engaged, and the war ended. A C-4 CASREP to extract "mercy" was issued within the hour.

I know BlueSky doesn't support embedded media, but even so... Evening work. Evening music. #NowInMyEars - 16volt.bandcamp.com/album/americ...

#vss365 #SciFiFri The anthrobots streamed up his arm in a sloppy if parallel formation, like conscripts learning to march at basic. She swung the scope away. "It's the cilia. Structural consistency remains a challenge; impedes self-assembly. But we can field ten superbots per micro-drone. Today."

Quietly working while listening to music. #NowInMyEars - unit187.bandcamp.com/album/killcure

Was just looking at implicit modelers (which create these kinds of organic shapes) - www.designboom.com/architecture... Cool stuff, but I still have a ton of questions.

In my ears today for obviously unfortunate reasons, my personal favorite from the band - youtube.com/playlist?lis... Too young.

Taken me a short while to warm up to this one, but as a longtime fan of Don Gordon, I'm glad I gave it some time to grow on me. youtu.be/0H631mKYKS4?... #IndieMusic

Evening work. Evening music. encephalon.bandcamp.com/album/automa... (do these play on BlueSky? a test)

I really want @nevillepage.bsky.social 's #Kickstarter effort to succeed and am surprised it hasn't already met its funding goal, considering he covers a lot of fan-fave material; especially #StarTrek Personally, it's his #IndustrialDesign process I most want to see. If you #design, check it out.

Wasn't expecting this - abcnews.go.com/amp/US/nanot... More #StarTrek #SciFi technology made real.

If you inherited a movie theater, what’s your first double feature? #FilmSky

I remember seeing "The First Kingdom" when it first arrived on shelves. However, I've never read one of the installments. Feeling like I should correct that oversight at some point. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/a...

Finally got around to watching "Near Dark" again this weekend; my Christmas gift DVD. Been too long. Next weekend I might have to watch it again but with the director's commentary. #filmSky

Watched "Alien: Romulus". Enjoyed it more than I expected. But also happened to notice the hull number (or date the hull was laid) on the Remus section is 2112. Might that be an Easter egg for Rush fans? #filmSky

I just backed Beauty in the Beast — by Neville Page / @nevillepage.bsky.social on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/112... . Inspiring stuff. Back it. #design #industrialdesign #sketching #conceptart #conceptsketching #productiondesign #sculpture #creaturefx #makeupfx #filmSky #filmmaking

#vss365 "There's a place among all the places somewhere along New Gulf Coast way, where divers can get into this aquarium near what was the old French Quarter. And back in a part never open to visitors, there are, get this, mermaid cages." The bartender sighed. "Pay your tab, Leon. Time for bed."

#vss365 "Y'see, there's a cost associated with everything," he stated flatly. "You may not want to get involved in this here situation, but that comes at a steep price." "I don't care," the miner replied. "You can just leave me out ..." And with that, the stranger's gun completed the transaction.

#vss365 #amwriting Product development ground to a halt. "The Frankenmodel is freakin' amazing but this prototype sucks," she lamented. "U/L won't certify bare wires," he explained. She crawled under the sheets, switched the model on and lit up the bed. "But the electric shocks are a feature!"

#SciFiFri #vss365 #vssdaily It was an especially challenging puzzle: segmentation of lower limbs; serrations on both left and right flank; injection sites equidistantly placed along the vertebrae. "You know, humans also had a game called 'Operation'," the artificial construct stated. "Not as fun."

I haven't taken pictures of cool beer graphics in months. Have to get back on that. And with everything going on in the world, hitting the liquor store almost seems normal, I suppose.
