Seriously one of my favorite presentations of all time. :D

@noelle This is one of those videos I just keep coming back to and sharing every few years.

By the way, if you haven't seen Bobby McFerrin's two-minute - and almost wordless - presentation on the power of the pentatonic scale, drop what you're doing and watch it: youtube.com/watch?v=ne6tB2KiZu #music

Lol I shoulda bought Zoe Keating tickets like a month and a half ago instead of only checking now when the remaining tickets are aggressively terrible. Dangit.

A lot of the writing in Leverage is weird and hilarious in ways that I *think* are unintentional but it's hard to tell.

Show thread

Watched the first two episodes of Leverage last night. Tipping point was seeing that there was a WisCon panel about it. It's entirely ridiculous but definitely fun.

Are foxes the prettiest animals? They very well might be.

If a page-turner about The First Female Airship Captain, war heroics, and people getting hit with cannonballs sounds fun, you'll probably like this book! If it doesn't, you probably won't!

Show thread

It'd be easy to label this "steampunk" because airships, but I reject that.

It's not about wonderous technology made out of gears and brass. It's mid-19th-century warfare (bone saws included) that has the addition of smallish wood and helium airships that might break in half if you try and turn the rudder too hard.

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.

Show thread

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.
