I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

My coffee table book, Open Circuits, with beautiful cross-section photos of electronics, is 25% off through the 12th. Use the super-secret discount code "SHOWOFF". What, you already have the book? BAM--you just thought of a friend who would enjoy a copy.

two images of a small cathode ray tube. the upper image shows that it is nearly as small as a ball-point pen, starting out at the same diameter but flaring out into a tiny screen that is about 10mm in diameter. the bottom image shows the same CRT cut in half, with a complex array of small metal electron lenses.

ever since I was a kid I've loved that name. it's too bad I'm not 5% more of a furry or I would 100% be known as Laser Wolf.

Fun fact: I got special labels printed for my copies of Fiddler on the Roof, for it is on LAZAR DISC!

The laserdisc release of Fiddler on the Roof, labeled "Laser Videodisc" officially, but...

Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

it would be pointless to even attempt to understand what unseen forces caused this tragedy. we can only mourn, and tip well

as someone who has created many image formats (some of them bad, on purpose!), I'm not a fan of this, but I am a woman of the people, and I've seen enough "the inventors of webp should be tried at the Hague" posts to know which way the wind is blowing on this issue

i really need to find a new job. is anyone hiring for Rust (or functional programming) that isn’t AI or blockchain crap, isn’t a morally repugnant company (such as Google), and can actually compete with Apple for bay area compensation?

If you're looking for retro textures I can really recommend @strideh.bsky.social's work! They offer three free packs and a premium one. They look really sharp, have a true Quake-feeling, can be used in commercial projects and were made without use of AI!
