Wow! The photos that Will took at Frostapalooza (and in the run-up) are absolutely fantastic!

He also shares the technical details for all you camera nerds.

Really strong opening night at the DNC. Joe was good. So much love from the crowd. Special guests on abortion were compelling. There were some echos from 2008 in Hillary’s speech, and this after 2016:

​…we refused to give up on America. Millions marched. Many ran for office. We kept our eyes on the future. Well, my friends, the future is here.

​Looking forward to Obama tonight.​ 🇺🇸

Happy Tuesday, everyone. Fixing bugs. 🐞

[Alexander Saeedy and Dana Mattioli at The Wall Street Journal] "The $13 billion that Elon Musk borrowed to buy Twitter has turned into the worst merger-finance deal for banks since the 2008-09 financial crisis." "[...] The banks haven’t been able to offloa...

My linkblog, which posts to the Links tab on Scripting News, as well as Bluesky, Mastodon and RSS, now also posts to Twitter. I'm also working with Manton Reece to hook up to Threads via micro.blog.

I’m always trying out new things. First, something fun: my friend Jesse gifted me a very cool Gameboy-like device called the Anbernic RG35XX, at ~$46. It has almost every game you remember, like if you got all the cartridges at Toys R Us or checked them out at Blockbuster. Having something without Wi-Fi, notifications, etc., … Continue reading Anbernic, Sol, and Daylight →

I do a daily episode of the adventures of Wordle Kitty as art I do with ChatGPT, on Facebook. There often is a NY Times headline in the image, saying something silly like how prisons are dealing with an influx of convicted house pets (like the kitten).

In this drawing the NYT is reporting on how the pets enjoy lunch, making new friends with other convicts.

This is therapeutic. Finally I can see the NYT doing something useful! Keeping me entertained while we try to get through this election. If I'm forced to accept lies from the NYT, without any voice given to opposition, they might as well be lies that entertain me! 😄

PS: I wonder if the NYT minds that we think of them as no more straight than Fox News. They've fallen really far, and have so far shown they totally don't care if we know.

When President Biden took the stage last night at the DNC, I had a moment of buyer's remorse. He looked so good in his black suit, and the pictures of the new candidates, and their spouses, looked comical in comparison to the president who was about to speak. Why did Walz h...

Today would have been my mother's 92nd birthday. She died in 2018, and I still haven't, deep inside, fully gotten the message that she's gone. Probably the most significant person in my life. I find most of my adult relationships can be traced back to my relationship with her.

On a Florida beach under Florida skies.

This was truly epic (and lots of fun!):

I can’t say I would have ever expected to see Jeremy Keith performing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song “Maps”, but then again, I don’t know what I expected to happen at Frostapalooza.

Keanu Reeves: "If you see someone falling behind, walk beside them. If you see someone being ignored, find a way to include them. Always remind people of their worth. One small act could mean the world to them."

[Jess Weatherbed at The Verge] "“Generative AI is ripping the humanity out of things. Built on a foundation of theft, the technology is steering us toward a barren future,” Procreate said on the new AI section of its website. “We think machine learning is a ...

Elon Musk bought the biggest airport on the social web. A major world hub like Atlanta, London or Dubai. Bluesky is a regional airport in a cool place, maybe Austin. Mastodon is a small network of airports, like the ones served by Ryanair in Europe. Threads is potentially...

The Wikipedia page for Living Videotext begins with one of our slogans. It was a joke, and meant to keep us humble, so we listen to users. It was one of many such slogans. LVT made some important contributions to the networks we use today. Wikipedia should talk about that first, show some respect, for crying out loud. Otherwise, except for that snipe up front, the account is actually pretty accurate.

15 years on from my original post, an update on how I name my devices.

I’ll be here all week.

Signed in to Facebook. It’s sort of a weird app if you haven’t used it in years. Wonder how long until the app is only Reels and Marketplaces.
