@Punk Science is really digging Buzzin' by Asian Dub Foundation right now! #music #derpy

I set down my headphones for a moment to go get a cup of coffee and when I came back I am fairly certain I heard a cartoon chicken clucking at ~178 BPM. View quoted note →

As a public service, I made a Chrome extension which ensures that Google Maps displays the legal name for certain Canadian lakes, should they ever be erroneously labeled for Canadians. (We took care of the Gulf of Mexico while we were in there). Hope it helps.

Maps Corrector — Restore Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario on Google Maps

A free Chrome extension that puts Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario back on Google Maps, with a red maple leaf on the label.

Keep'em coming, internet.

GM Nostr. What'cha building today? Oh... by the way, here is our upcoming game that was just announced yesterday at Gamescom:

The memes are going to be brutal. I apologize in advance.

I have just signed an executive order renaming Donald Trump to "Donald Dump", and it is equally as binding and meaningful as his executive orders with regard to unilaterally renaming international waterways. See you at Lake Ontario this fall, now and until the Huron suggest otherwise.

#Omarchy is the most solid Linux implementation I've experienced to date. It's been my daily driver now for 2 weeks and I am absolutely loving it.

GM Nostr folks. Woke up in the rain but the sun is breaking through.

"If anyone needs their face painted, please get there before Dave and Dale do, because they're next!" [Overwrought laughter from 2 people in the audience -- presumably Dave and Dale]

It's a rare folk singer that can make me hate my life and wonder if I've had folk music wrong this whole time. She's draining the life out of "Angel from Montgomery" as it writhes and contorts percersely over her nasal passages.

Oof. What are those insects that sound like a buzzing powerline -- super loud and annoying. Surely they have a predator.

GM, Nostr. This is what's on my mind this morning.

Something I've always wanted to do: I tried to recreate the gravity drive from Event Horizon as an entirely dynamic system. I added some of my own hellish flourishes. Let me know what you think.

I would love to see a boycott of Adobe. They've been abusing creative industries for years and they get away with it because management / art directors continue to spend money on the only product line they're familiar with. Competing products do exist (looking at you, Affinity). They're the original pioneers of enshitification. View quoted note →

I am really excited to announce that my father, Gordon Wright, after spending 5+ years in the process of researching, writing, and editing, has finally published his first novel. It's called Stones Cast for Life and it's a historical family drama that tells the story of a young school teacher starting her career and enduring the hardships of life in a Newfoundland outport in the 1920s. My father is a proud, native Newfoundlander and he spent long hours researching the this story at The Rooms historical archive in St. John's. Would love for you to share it if you know someone who might be interested. It's available in both ebook and paperback editions from Amazon at the moment with more vendors to follow in the coming months. More info here:

I don't doubt this for a second. Just like those who want data centers obfuscate, hide and downplay its impacts, those who don't want one exaggerate and lie about those same impacts. We weaponize perspective. Truth is out of style. View quoted note →

Working in Charlottetown, PEI today. I gravitated toward the nice cafe downtown, the one with excellent food and well-dressed people. It didn't take long to notice I was the only one there with a laptop so I did a little research and the consensus seemed to be that the local library was the place for the nomadic laptop worker set. I had doubted it when someone told me that earlier. So I wound up here at the library and I am sorry I ever doubted it. Clean, bright, beautiful atmosphere, low noise aside from the distant sound of conversation easily overcome by headphones. The wi-fi is free, fast and reliable, and there's a cafe in the middle that doesn't know the difference between a cortado and a flat white so they make you really big cortados.

Does this post show up as zappable?
