Things I nerd out about, in no particular order:

  • Pinball Machines / Arcade cabinets
  • Vintage Computers (mostly lBM)
  • Electronics, MCUs, Small Blinky Things
  • Laser Cutting, 3D Printing, Dye Sublimation, and general DIY/“Maker” stuff
  • Letterpress (I own an antique letterpress that I restored)
  • Spacey and Sciency stuff
  • Internet of Things things
  • Occasional low-grade weebness (sorry in advance)

Exciting ant queen collecting trip in AZ. Why does it feel like all the coolest ants are in the South and South West. It's not fair.

@futurebird @errg @kechpaja what a face!! My cat Pixel doesn’t eat bugs. She plays with them. She’ll bat them around the living room until their little batteries run out. Then she’ll just leave them there for me to deal with. If she ate them at least she’d clean up her own mess!

There's a show about Tom Lehrer called "Tom Lehrer Is Teaching Math and Doesn't Want to Talk to You" playing in London through next Sunday, and I hope it comes to Los Angeles soon.

Delighted to say I have actually talked to Tom once; maybe 15 years ago Firesign Theatre was on tour and I rang him up in Santa Cruz to say he was on the comp list for their San Jose gig (don't know if he came; I doubt it!).
