tech, tiny computer
(The Nordic Thingy is not part of the build, by the way. The entire computer is hidden under the solar panels, since it's about the size of a Tic Tac container once it had its tiny heatsink and GPIO pins installed.)

For those interested in building their own, this is:
* One Raspberry Pi Zero W. I used the Vilros starter kit (~$35)
* One Waveshare 4.2 inch e-ink display ($10-40 depending on wholesale rates)
* One HI-S025 solar charger (~$40)
The thing is wireless and can do USB and HDMI too, which is just crazy.

And we now have a solar-powered computer, tracking solar power and energy usage for the whole house.

Seattle Area: Do you need a very cheap (manual transmission) car in good condition? 
It's a 1995 Honda Accord DX, 5 speed manual. In amazing condition for 200,000 miles, just had its timing belt replaced.
This car has been worked hard but very lovingly cared for.
Its biggest issue: it was rear-ended and the trunk doesn't close properly (but doesn't seem to leak). Second worst: the windows squeak when you roll them down.
Clean title, has a solid 100k miles left in it.
Asking ~$800.

Good Girl Energy
Remember that demons are probably very tired after their big night last night so if you're going to do a summoning today make sure to have a mug of coffee for them. It's only polite.
Happy Blade Runner month, y’all

Now playing with e-ink displays. A few hours of soldering and staring at wiring charts later, I decided to be vain.
The goal of this experiment is to display some data graphs, but might as well have some fun with it first.

Did you know that dragon tummy are warm and soft? Touch it. Touch the belly.
ring fit adventure, day two
Turns out I had the leg joycon set up wrong yesterday, so day two was just about the right level of effort.
Yay for not being as out of shape as I thought I was! And for this being a routine I can probably keep.

ring fit adventure, day one
I can lower the intensity, but I think I’m going to stick with it in small chunks, balanced with using an exercise bike. I kind of need to build endurance again.
ring fit adventure, day one
Me, from the ground not even ten minutes later: I may have misjudged the intensity of this game a little.
ring fit adventure, day one
So I bought Ring Fit Adventure for my niece and her family, as an early birthday gift. I also got myself a copy.
Niece: *sets game to low intensity*
Ring Fit Adventure: Here’s 3 reps! Great job!
Niece: Fitness is fun!
Me: This doesn’t look too bad.
... some time later...
Me: Hm, I’ll try the second highest setting.
Ring Fit Adventure: Here’s 30 health bars just for one attack.
Me: oh no
tech, game randomizers
My weekend project: bought a knockoff 3DS (GPD XD Plus), flashed it with Cleanrom, and tried a couple random seeds on it (alttp, oot, metroid prime) successfully. I also cobbled together a serviceable streaming setup for the thing using Android screen sharing.
I wonder if this has value to other folks. It's a major step up from running these off of a phone when I'm not at my desk, that's for sure.

assistance request, ongoing long thing, paypal link, mh (--)
So, Tess ( @pillowcat ) is... no longer able to work, and I'm not able to work and still fighting through disability stuff. We need about a hundred dollars to make rent this month... and that's assuming we manage to spend nothing on food the rest of the month (that's near impossible with my disability) we thought we were going to be ok after asking for help last week but now we're spiraling b/c of neither of us being able to work
paypal.me/nautilee every little bit helps
dubious translation
I bought a knock-off 3DS for running emulators that is actually an Android gaming cabinet. This is proudly emblazoned on the back of the box.
I think I get where they were going with it.

Another amusing exchange from my mom.
"You see Seattle is pretty much full of sad gay animals."
"Oh no! Why are all the puppies and kitties sad?"
"No mom it's me. I'm the sad animal."
"Oh."
