First snowstorm of the season so of course someone almost took out our lamppost, which would have taken out our house's power (that's where the electrical meter is here.)

I'm helping my late friend Turing's sibling sell off some of Turing's things. Turing had a #MiSTerFPGA by their TV. It looks to be a @misteraddons.bsky.social Skeleton kit ~2022, complete with real time clock, Analog IO v6.1, 128 MB SD-RAM, and USB-Hub v2.1.

Asking $400 OBO; Hoping to avoid eBay.

Over 30 selfie thread

I guess there won't be a #WindowsUglySweater this year, but I'm prepared nonetheless.

I guess this is also an over 40 selfie thread now... 😬👴

Juniper prefers that I play the walkies game instead thank you.

Juniper is Demonschool curious.

Aww yeah let's go Demonschool!

For #RandomGameSaturday I present my copy of Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for Nintendo DS. I bought it on hearing @jparish.bsky.social speak so highly of it on @retronauts.bsky.social and have sung the praises of Shiren games ever since.

I have one last clean pair of pants and they are cargo pants, which I will have to wear tomorrow.

Truly, laundry levels have reached critical.

This morning's sunrise is really trying to show off after the aurora last night.
November 12, 2025 at 1:38 PM
Beautiful!

We've got some vague pink in the sky here in Longmont.

Was clued in to the aurora by a coworker. We can't quite see it with the naked eye, but our phones can.

Reminder that the correct answer is to ditch Daylight Savings Time. We tried it year round back in the 70s and people did not like it.

@dgoodkin.bsky.social I think we need to reprint these. 😆

Heck yeah, my copy that I bought at Beat Buy in High School on the strength of the Parasite Eve demo.

Still mad about the manual that a high school classmate lost. I need a second copy of the game too... sadly, this one has scratches through the top and doesn't play in some sections. 😭

I'm doing a follow along for #RandomGameSaturday - Front Mission Evolved for 360. I don't think it's anyone's favorite Front Mission, but I liked the several hours I played enough. :F

I've used this one as a joke response many times. :D

Sometimes being the networking guy in a science lab means standing on a ladder while wearing laser safety goggles to re-terminate a CAT5E cable someone didn't test 30 years ago.

They also didn't consult me about the placement of this patch panel, and I am not a fan.

This is up there with Danzig wearing a Danzig shirt to buy kitty litter.

Some day I hope that, like Juniper, I can have precisely zero cares again.

"Why yes I *am* excited for the Virtual Boy stuff, how did you guess?"

Have some love from Colorado my friend! What's going on?

My dog is currently having butt problems, but making her wear underwear so that she doesn't go after it is as adorable as it is hilarious.
