As I put aside doom scroll, I'm focusing on reading during that time. I decided to steer back into my old persona, The Star Trek Dude. Oh how I've missed you, old friend. 1/x

Yesterday, I got back behind the camera and did a little car photoshoot with a couple friends. We each own a JDM and thought it would be fun to get some photos of them together. Here's a behind the scenes shot of me at work.

Me sitting on the ground, facing away from the camera. I am wearing a blue shirt and a grey Dunder Mifflin hat on backwards. I'm holding a camera up to my face. In front of me off to the left, out of focus, is a silver Toyota MR-S convertible with the top down.

I broke my Tetris record today. It was previously 5.7 million and now I cracked 6.5! Played via Tetrix DX cartridge on my Analog Pocket.

My new high score screen on Tetrix DX via my black Analog Pocket. It shows a score of 6574496 on Level 30 with 2399 lines.

Personally, I'm stoked about this new show! My kiddo is going to love it. It's similar in style to other shows for her age bracket. I'm not going to stop watching other Star Trek with her but now she'll have one made specifically for her.

There are 3 kinds of internet:
Small internet - I can do this on my phone
Medium internet - I need a bigger screen like a tablet
Big internet - I need a full screen and keyboard, probably also a mouse
