mini-review, "The Guns Above" by Robyn Bennis:

Rickety wooden airships version of Aubrey Maturin / Honor Harrington, but compared to the latter the jokes are better and the politics aren't inexplicably awful.

pondering trolling the Klingons at con by showing up with fake elf ears and what's obviously a hotel towel draped over a shoulder, and flip flops, and Romulan-saluting them. Bad idea or "holy fuck coyote, why do you even think of stuff like this" idea?

"We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture." is still one of the spookiest sentences I've ever read. (prod.sandia.gov/techlib/access, appendix F, section 4.1)

I'm watching a Universal Paperclips speedrun, how're you?

I'm beginning to think that Fusion 360 is actually... not great.

Today I Learned: Freespace and Saints Row exist in the same continuity.

WTF :D

Conclusion: this part of the sketch is fucked, better start over.

That point in a parametric modeling project where you no longer have any idea what constraints are operating and everything is a total mess :/

Album version had an ill-fitting outro transitioning into the next song, and it looks like it was never released as a single. But I ran across the live recording, and it turns out it's really hecking good!

Current mixtape level: ripping the audio from a YouTube recording of a KEXP live performance and editing out the station bumper.

"So, you have magic, and [other] you have magic, and [third] you wield faith... I'm an English major."

Rainbow sign project 

I'm considering putting a star under the rainbow instead of text? Would simplify a lot of design challenges.

Dear critters of Mastodon: how do y'all feel about the adage "if you go back to someone's house and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em."

Ran into it again yesterday and it's been bouncing around in my head.

My current opinion: "ehhh? :/ "

aw dang, this joke should've been "tired: telling your partner you've been secretly dating someone on the side"

Show thread

Tired: discussing with your partner that you're thinking about trying an open relationship

wired: "Updates to our privacy policy!"

Galena, Cinnabar, and Pitchblende are all really pretty words.

Advice Requested: Middle School D&D Club 

As the CW says, I want to get a #DnD club started in my school. My Media Arts curriculum is going to have an additional push towards improving storytelling skills and I think this can help a lot.

Ideally I would pull from my Media Arts class, which are 11-13 year old students. I'd prefer that the group be no more than 6 people.

So ....

What's the best avenue I could take to get administrative approval?
