Big thanks to my dear friend Jack for designing and printing me a custom aluminium extrusion + 3D printed vpinball ‘cabinet’… and then giving up his whole Sunday to assemble it with me! Stage 1 done; clear perspex sides and modular internal gubbins holders next!

Winning, supreme.
My 'Gnarlybot' virtual pinball table adventure continues! Working with the awesome VPW crew to take it that next step further with a 'VLM' (stunning realistic lighting via blender) version and VR support!
EON the energy company sent me a survey to fill in. I obliged because I wanted to let them know that I hate them / all energy companies. Turns out, they are truly insane.
Goosebumps. 👏🏴

“What's dispiriting is the (lack of) process and care: take someone's carefully crafted work, run it through a machine to wash off the fingerprints, and ship it as your own. This isn't a case of being inspired by something and building on it. It's the opposite of that. It's taking something that worked and making it worse.”

The work is important. Doing good work is important. But I’m learning that the work rarely, if ever, speaks for itself. I am still learning how much I have to speak for the work in order for its value to be recognized. #TechCoMusings

Cut off a significant portion of my ring finger‘s tip with a potato peeler today. Can’t recommend. 😂 TIL that an Adrenaline compress will staunch a wound – and that’s what cutmen in boxing use as well.
We've moved the TetraLogical Masto account to @TetraLogical where we'll continue to share articles, videos, and other things #accessibility related.
