While I will never understand why my work blocks this particular web comic (Questionable Content), I remain amused by the category that the filter assigns to it.

Had a great time seeing @loscampesinos.bsky.social last night at Empire Garage. Highlight for me was "My Year in Lists", but so many great new and old songs and the crowd energy was great.

I've been a happy Pocket Premium user for several years, and this is disappointing. I mainly moved to Pocket to support Mozilla, so I guess I'll return to using @instapaper.com for my saving web articles needs.

Yes, I'm that guy who gets excited when someone posts a picture taken of something on their TV and I go, "I know that closed caption font, that's from a Roku device!" because I worked on that.

If you've not played Datasette's awesome game "Utopia Must Fall", check out the new 0.7 update and get it on early access in Steam. This has been one of my favorite "lets take a few minutes to de-stress" games for the last few months, and I look forward to trying out the new weapons and modes.

@oshwassociation.bsky.social Your email today mentioned cool shirt/hat designs. Are they only available for in-person attendees to pre-order? I couldn't find any links.

Just got a poll from an automotive research firm asking EV owners how their impressions of Tesla would change if their CEO got out of politics or resigned as CEO. Interesting.

This morning, a friend greeted me with "May the Fourth Be With You" and a Vulcan hand salute. He and I realized what he did at the same time, I said "It's all good", and we laughed and laughed.

Oh, this is so sad. I only got to see her play live once, a show at Joe's Pub in NYC in 2008, but it was a great performance. She will be missed.

Feeling a bit doubtful that Paxton will run that low at the general election, but I'd so love to see it happen.

Just found where @oshwassociation.bsky.social weighed in on the terms for sending serial data between devices using SPI; I look forward to using the very cute names POCI and PICO in my future designs. They sound like a lost Super Nintendo game. #electronics oshwa.org/announcement...

Just noticed that @crowdsupply.bsky.social had posted a preview of the talk I'm doing in June in Portland, Oregon at Teardown 2025. I'm excited to dive into how conferences have evolved the electronic badge over the years and where we may be heading. #electronics www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/por...

Just left the @soulcoughing.bsky.social show here in Austin. Great set, playing all the hits and some obscurities, ending with great versions of "Is Chicago" and "Superbonbon". The band was tight.

texas strangling its cheapest form of new energy in order to corruptly reward a dying oil industry is a good reminder that conservative government is what causes states to be poor, not the other way around.
