no YOU were up way past your bedtime looking at pictures of the keyboard of every macbook pro model in order to compile a list of how the icons on the function keys have changed over time

Now that enough time has passed I can confirm that this is the second best photo I've ever taken

@mliketheletter.bsky.social in the snow in Chimborazo Park, RVA (She made this dress!)

Let's go!!!! www.polygon.com/anime/524987...

Today's "quote of the day" is a good one

Cory Doctorow will be speaking at the Fountain Bookstore on March 5th! #RVA withfriends.co/event/226685...

I'm here to remind you that 2025's Grammy Award winner for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, Dan Nigro, was a member of the incredible band As Tall As Lions triplecrownrecords.bandcamp.com/track/be-her...

Looks like there was a pretty big fire at the "Lofts at Canal Walk" building. Main St. isn't blocked, but a lot of the surrounding streets (like 18th and Cary) are. #RVA

Babier-v all dressed up. Been working on this keyboard for a while and this finally feels more or less finished. Pcb, case files, and firmware are on GitHub: github.com/dixls/babier-v

I'm really excited about this — if you're not already tired of hearing my hot programming takes, I hope you'll consider coming out!

Hearing "Pain" by Jimmy Eat World for the first time in a long while and being filled with the overwhelming urge to attempt a kickflip

In honor of the new RVATok feed by @bryanrva.dev, here’s a pig I saw in Jackson Ward in 2016 bsky.app/profile/did:... #rva

@shamian.bsky.social designed this amazing poster of my dog, Lana. Thanks so much! (www.fiverr.com/shamian_/cra...)

While thinking about how to share assets between two projects, I briefly thought, “oh I’ll just have two repos and use a submodule” I am incredibly sorry for this, and I promise I’ll do my best to never think such horrible thoughts again

So is it going to snow every weekend for the rest of time or what #rva

So my current zip code is 23223 But I grew up in the zip code 23322 And it's confusing, because that one is two threes, three twos too (h/t for @michael.mcclimon.org for coming up with the setup here)

@mliketheletter.bsky.social 3D printed a Ferrero Rocher gashapon

Just deployed Glance (github.com/glanceapp/gl...) to @fly.io, and the user experience for both was really great. Mildly concerned that I'm going to want to use fly.io as the hammer for every nail now.

Patiently waiting for 1 p.m. to see if the "boil water" advisory is going to be lifted… #rva www.rva.gov/press-releas...

Windows has four different ways to configure power and battery settings and none of them actually do what I want

Today I'm very grateful to the extremely helpful SEPTA worker who helped me refund the balance from nine different SEPTA keys

I joined @whatpulse.org 20 years ago today. That's two zero — not a typo. Since then, I have registered nearly 83 million key presses and nearly 17 million clicks.

Honestly surprised that “city has no water and no timeline to restore it” doesn’t appear to be national news

Just stopped at five different places out on Laburnum — all out of water.

Father - Daughter hack the planet day @joewoods.dev

#RVA Mayor's press conference on Richmond's water crisis just wrapped. Mixed news: • Two pumps now online after stops and starts overnight • Cautiously optimistic water service to return today • Boil-water advisory likely to continue for 48 hours • RPS likely to remain closed (somewhat unclear)

Removed the Discover tab from my bsky completely, and for when I'm craving something different from my own follow feed, using the "Popular with Friends" feed instead of Discover. Not having an infinitly refreshable feed of new posts is almost certainly better for my brain overall.

I am so excited for it to snow. I hope that, no matter how old I get, I always manage to hold on to this "it's gonna snow!!" feeling that makes me feel like a little kid.
