Hey all, I’m starting my search for internships. If you know of a good company looking for interns, I’d love to know.
I’m a second year in computer engineering, hoping to go into cyber something. I’m adaptable to nearly everything, and I’m open to just about anywhere.

RIP to Colgate‘s hockey goalie with the last name Dyck. The Michigan State announcer is having a field day with him.
It’s quite impressive they can still announce without doubling over in laughter.

Extroverts scare me. The group behind me has not stopped talking once the whole 6 hours so far. And they show no signs of quieting down anytime soon.
This bus ride of college students is a terrifying mix of people. I almost wish I took the normal bus.

It's my favorite day! It's the 38th anniversary of the Max Headroom signal broadcast intrusion!
1st incident lasted 25s during the 9PM news on WGN-TV in Chicago; The 2nd, 2hrs later, lasted ~90s on PBS affiliate WTTW during Dr. Who.
You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqge...

My mod-podge phone case has finally begun to admit defeat. It‘s cracking on the part I painted before the current case so it’s not unexpected, but now I don’t have the supplies to fix it. Will probably fully redo it once I get back from this trip.

It’s so fascinating to me how people will be within earshot of people giving information and still follow the crowd ignoring that information.
I wonder if there’s a random line competition at Defcon, lines going to nowhere.

Additionally, there are more trees now than there were in the 1500’s.
Across all the planets in the milky way the average number of trees per planet is at least 30
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

99% sure Pandora and Spotify have linked my accounts now. My perfectly nice Pandora radio is getting ruined by songs I have on my Spotify that are the completely wrong genre.
The number of ads on Pandora seems to have sharply increased, so I don’t know how much longer I’ll keep using it.

Haven’t touched GitHub in months. Today I needed it, and voila, it’s down.
It seems odd that there’s been so many major outages recently.

I’m in badge heaven. I now have an And!Xor badge, a black badge, and (I think) a Queercon badge (has a big fingerprint on it).
I don’t think any Christmas/birthday can ever beat the day I get a new badge.

Say I had an idea to outsource the hard parts of an SAO to badges instead. How often have you all found badges that can output stuff to the GPIO pins of the SAO?

I’m well aware I’m the black sheep of the family.
But please, can I go one week without being reminded of that?? Telling me how everyone else doesn’t struggle with basic things and isn’t a freak does not help me in any way, and just makes me less and less excited to go home for breaks. Argh.

Hmm… might have an SAO idea. Have to come up with a fun implementation of it and check that the group would be interested, but it could be fun.
My 6 page essay waiting to get started on is not happy about all the badge research I’m currently doing.

Trying to come up with gift ideas for some hackers. Everyone comes up with such cool ideas and I’m at a complete loss of what to make.
I might (??) try making an SAO but then there’s so many options there it doesn’t help to narrow anything down.

November has all the interesting days. Today marks 55 years since Oregon’s beached whale incident.
It’s probably good no one else has tried dynamite since then.

TIL that when the @andnxor.bsky.social badge mentions chip clips they don’t mean the things to hold a bag of chips closed.
I was really confused why/how someone had a special chip clip. I’ll be inventing something very jank as a substitute now.

He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.
