Sisyphus was a stone carver. I use that idea in my game Bouldering. The joy of wearing out these stones until they are small enough to carry in a pouch - the size of marbles. Only …

I didn't get there on my last visit, but https://www.casafilmbar.com is apparently doubling up on their 3rd place karma by combining a bar with video rental. I've been thinking abo…

There's also https://anonradio.net which is less about hacking and more just hackers with music to share. It's classic SDF-based fun.

There are at least a couple of outfits claiming a nano coating or a nano glass surface for solar panels that are so smooth as to not collect dusts. Their other claim is greatly imp…

Just had the same here in Washington state for the Little Giant fire. Great image in the article. We had another fire cloud behind Rainier the other day, and saw it from the Rount …

Woohoo for civilian first responders!

After years of trying dozens of tools for invites, I was just about to build my own. Our last tool was a Mac-based Outlook / Word / Excel mail merge - way more complicated than it …

We just had our first bear crossing on a wildlife here in the Northwest. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/first-black-bear-u... I know these things are more complicated th…

As someone who has lived as you describe for 50+ years, it might be wise to embrace it. "Generalists" often benefit from seeing the similarities between systems, sets, and sciences…

Agreed. I've figured it out during the drier months in the NW of the States. Plenty of work in the woods, workshop, maintenance, and helping neighbors with the same. But winter and…

Witness. I've built three small projects from idea to pilot runs with Ai. Some parts of the process I had some solid experience with, and other parts I was holding the hand of my A…

Both. I need two covers: one for a wood yard and another for a concrete slab for wrenching on the car. The rest are going to the library for shelving. I say the rest, but I have a …

I've got two trees on the property to deal with and need to do so in place. This might be my best option.

1999 or maybe 2000 for me. Dollars are votes for how I want to see the world.
