Thought I’d share a little Marc Garneau story. For those who don’t know, Garneau was the first Canadian in space. His passing was just announced. I met Marc Garneau when I was very little, probably around grade 5 during the mid 80’s thanks to NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (thread)

This was a steal of a deal. Literally hundreds of RPG’s, many of which can be played solo. I’ve had a lot of fun with it. Worth your $10

Friends, I asked for an extension for the bundle but I don’t think it’s going to be granted. We are $3,000 away from helping @dotsrpg.bsky.social bring more braille dice to life with just seven hours to go! Please share! There are 240+ RPGs for you to play for just $10! itch.io/b/2850/rpgs-...

Successfully restored this original Gameboy that “needed a new backlight” because the screen was basically imperceptible. Was not sure how I’d fix that, but it was pretty simple! They didn’t realize there was a brightness control on the left hand side 😂

There was never any question in my mind who was going to run away from this fight.

Just got blocked by my first BlueSkyer. Not sure what I said, but based on their profile I would guess I did something I should be proud of. If you want to know who blocks you as well follow @listifications.app

Made my own apple sauce to go with pork tonight. That was amazingly easy and super tasty. I also patched my own pants with a thread and needle. I’m basically a (non)trad husband at this point.

This is my favourite #8mm #FoundFootage I’ve restored. We have some construction scenes, what I belong is the Toronto CNE, and some canal scenes. A boat is flying the Red Ensign flag that predated the Canadian flag. Likely the 1950’s. youtu.be/LkMMFZ9lE4Y?...

Found another air show on some old #8mm reels. This one appears to be even older than yesterday’s posts. #FoundFootage. youtu.be/zDh2Pnj13eI?...

My final #8mm #FoundFootage restoration today is a real doozy. We have a parade, an air show, and some construction project. I suspect the air show is the Toronto waterfront with the islands in the distance. youtu.be/ozEsSqotcBI?...

Second film from the #8mm #FoundFootage lot I converted today. This one shows a family Christmas. Based on the other recordings I would guess this is around 1960 and likely Toronto based. youtu.be/FfUf8PBG-vg?...

This #8mm #FoundFootage I restored today was a fairly short film of a drive along the coast and to a more wooded area. Likely from the late 50’s or early 60’s. youtu.be/Dz0Pw9z4lsY?...

Spent yesterday repairing this 8mm/Super8 converter I found for a steal. Was able to successfully repair it and only glued myself to it once. Will be posting some of the found footage I was busy restoring and converting to digital today. #8mm #FoundFootage

Ain’t no “told you so” like an AJ “told you so” ‘Cause an AJ “told you so” Is now backed by the head of the American Association of Immunology @fitterhappieraj.bsky.social

Was very happy for the opportunity to support this cause. I then proceeded to download the over 200 games included. They range from big to small, with some real fun stuff in there. Looking forward to trying out some of the solo and journaling adventures!

I think I may have found the next Confucius.

@jonrisinger.bsky.social I thought you’d want to know about this blasphemy urgently: www.wargamer.com/dnd/assassin...

Rainbolt is one of the best GeoGuessr’s in the world. Toronto is his kryptonite. Ironically, Vancouver has been mine so far. The article makes an interesting comment on why both cities are problematic.

I’ve become obsessed with GeoGuessr because I totally needed one more hobby to keep me from getting work done. #GeoGuessr

Just wrapped listening to campaign one of the D&D podcast Tales From The Stinky Dragon - Infinights (@stinkydragonpod.bsky.social). Absolutely loved it. All the action and improv story telling of Critical Role, a heavy lean into comedy, a great cast, digestible length, and it’s family friendly. 👍
