We found a name for him! We're calling him Zigzag or (probably most of the time) Ziggy for short.
Thanks for all the suggestions. It was fun to see what everyone would come up with.

It's always pretty cool to see a game that's been around for a long time get an update out of the blue. Two updates on my list today are #BeatHazard from 2010 and #Cogs from 2009.

On the Corvette expedition, I dug up a lot of parts. I wanted to bring them back, but you only get 24 slots for that. So, I piled on every advanced module I could fit, especially 1-ofs. I made this monstrosity, and it was 2800 nanites to bring it back. Now I have my library of parts. #NoMansSky

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"
Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

I'm about to start the latest #NoMansSky expedition. It's been... _a while_ since I played. I'm organizing my stuff, and I find that my inventory is full of dirt. What was I doing with all this? I must have had a trade planned, but now any memory of that is gone.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Hmm. A surprising number of random dudes in T-shirts have been turned into elementals in the spiderverse.

Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness.
On a plane, I want a pilot.
In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence.
Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data.
Ignore it and we all pay the price.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

Went on a bike ride with my kid at the local lake near sunset. The deer were out, and I was able to catch a few with my phone camera. A pair were even very near the path.
