the recent years of post-bambu 3D printing are absolutely exploding with the sort of thing people have said printing would be a decade ago (the hardware wasn't reliable enough at the time)

it's so so so cool seeing new people with all sorts of end goals making some new thing directly themselves

in the back of my mind for years I've wanted to start a little mail club where you'd subscribe to get a cute linocut every month, maybe some writing, stickers, etc

I had been doing this for christmas cards for a while, previously

maybe this is the year

the coolest thing no one seems to talk about with ebikes is that you get ~all the physical movement endorphins of regular biking even without any effort?

you can have the assist on super easy baby mode and nominally paddle your legs around for 20 minutes and you're just glowingly happy??

it's wild
ok I need to remind myself to take an ebike ride anytime the weather is nice and I feel aimless, it's so head clearing

ebikes are possibly the best thing in Seattle right now

what's interesting is the past few months the mag 7 is actually pretty flat compared to the rest; the equal-weight 500 is up (which is the other 493 going up, relatively -- it's broadening)

also fun fact: NVDA is cheaper now than when chatGPT launched

nope, just random!

in general I find success in asking for opposite things, so here we have "brutalism" and then a bunch of christmas cozy fire workshop type words that offset it

I liked the stairs and massing in this one too:

Twenty years on and I still think this is the most breathtaking sequence ever put in a videogame. Testament to the fact that scale and awe are not virtues of graphical horsepower alone

we have everything we need to build this

it'd be fun to use unique robo voices for different posts, and then you'd start to recognize <account> over time

it is funny to read and think about a waymo future while sitting in a house that is hundreds of km away from the nearest public transportation, from the nearest uber, on gravel roads that get plowed every week or so

the thing about creativity is people will just accept whatever you make, you don't really have to worry about it

you can name your character The Slam Jambler and that sounds funny for 10 seconds and then it's just the guy's name for the entire rest of the book and it's totally fine
