Thinking #ImACentaur - new Kobo Libre Colour in the house. Community improvements #NickelMenu and #KoReader need to go on. I wanted a system anyone in the household could use to customize it, so I worked with an AI to wrangle it into shape. Also in the middle of reading 'The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI' by @pluralistic - obvious #Centaur usecase and inspiration. Local-only app to meet

Wow, this cover - picked it up on a whim at a local charity shop as it had things going for it:
- SR-71
- Mod styling
- knew it would look good on my wall
The music, actually, not too bad. The band, 'Bimbo Jet' were a French mid- '70's euro-disco band with a few hits. el Bimbo was one. Catchy tune, definetly music of it's time. So there's that. Cooler than I expected. Lot's of bounce, wah-wah, and

One of the joys of #tax season -- getting to choose which #Retro #Calculator to use. Though I owned a #Sharp #Elsimate back in the day (I was the nerd in high school), all were acquired more recently. I loved the aesthetic of the #TexasInstruments #Datamath (I cleaned/rebuilt the battery compartment), and the #Canon 8-T was a must have (SEXAGESIMAL CALCULATOR) for the time calculation functions. T

Waiting on parts.
2 printers, 1 day, and a fair bit of filament. This will eventually be a card shuffler - large capacity - perfect for Wyrmspan, Wingspan, any game with a huge deck. Canasta? Just waiting on a shipment of o-rings and screws :) Printed on my #Prusa MK4s and a #Bambu A1 Mini AMS.

Updating this well loved Kobo Mini to a new Kobo Libre Colour. This one will find a home in the workshop. #kobo #epub #ereader
Finally, getting around to cleaning up an old Mac mini. It’s been in the workshop for years. Still in great shape.
Today’s job is getting snow leopard on it. Then seeing how far I can upgrade it maybe not. #apple #macmini #vintagecomputing…
Interesting: could be fun while camping etc.

It's been 12 or so years since I've seriously played #GuildWars2 -- wow, the game is even more fun than I remember! Our gaming group started with the original #Guildwars after spending a lot of time playing Baldur's Gate online. Getting ba…

Cold brew
Simple recipe, which is good because it's only day 2 of this year and it looks like I'll need a lot of this to get through it.
For the record:
- 1 litre of water
- 1 cup of coarse-ground coffee
- 1 day of brewing on the counterto…
