Your initial impression of how the QuickShot QS-121 operates is incorrect

Whenever I think it's a waste of time to lug out my old crap, someone drops a 43 hit combo on Marvel vs Capcom 2 with an ASCIIWare arcade stick

Before today, only the two bike lockers near the train station had been mapped in Orange, CA. I saw more that I could not map without my family further leaving me behind

Always a pleasure to run into Jess Rullifson's Invisible Wounds at the library. My second random encounter with it (full disclosure, the second chapter is my story)

Doing the smallest thing I can to help bicycle infrastructure: adding bike parking locations to Open Street Map. When I first saw my city, the downtown area had exactly one bike spot added to the map. When I'm done, every spot will be located. I have more plans to survey everything in city limits.

E-scooters are awesome, until you get a flat. Then the tires are impossible to remove. I'm surgically separating this one to add a solid tire. Hopefully it will last a few years. After this I have three to go...

The Dreamcast-Neo Geo Pocket connector cable box. It looks pretty plain, with only the console symbols spicing up the design. Otherwise it uses plain text and a picture of the cable
