My new @mrbillstunes.bsky.social podcast episode came out today. It's been 5 years since the last time I was a guest there, and this time I've come to talk about the Reference Sessions parties and go over some data that we've actualized at them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmPX...

As part of the 20th anniversary of BBS Documentary's release, I've ripped the 3 DVDs that were included in the project and have them hosted at Internet Archive. These ISO files can be played in the VLC player like DVDs, and include all bonus features, subtitles, etc. archive.org/details/BBS_...

Last night @pfrazee.com joined @bcantrill.bsky.social, me, and the Oxide Friends to talk about the inner workings of @bsky.app and the AT Protocol. From Scuttlebutt to Firehose and the ill-fated Scenes, lots of inside baseball! youtu.be/5axpWF48bwQ

For day 12 of #ArtAdventCalendar here’s a butterfly I drew for an art prompt from the Ashmolean Museum during their isolation creations, which is when I started drawing.
