Posted something a little nostalgic.
It’s about the years I spent in Chattanooga — and the way that place opened me up to nature, solitude, and secret trails that don’t show up on any map:

A City with Mountains on All Sides
The cities have always been my home. Accessible. Loud. Crowded. A little dirty. I worked there, shopped there, wandered late-night corners a...

Posted an old poem today.
It’s called Tin Lover.
Wrote it a few years ago and it still kind of wrecks me, to be honest.
It’s about loving someone who’s struggling, and holding on to the good in them even when it’s buried.
Here’s the link if you want to read it:

Tin Lover
Some poems come out raw. Some you carry for years before you find the right words. This one lived in me a long time. It’s about loving ...

Getting fight-ready! 👊
Featuring my Player 2 (👰‍♀️) in matching idle stance glory.
Just a little animation practice, inspired by the Scott Pilgrim game.
Still working on keeping my color palette tight! 🎨

my monitoring system hasn't pinged me about service downtime in almost a year, and that probably means the monitoring is broken but I'm choosing to believe that I'm just that good at sysadmin

@rejectconvenience.com in your delete me and incogni video, at the 11:25 mark, how did you make / where did you get the sound affects of the TV crowd? Really loved that. Also, I’m definitely a new subscriber! Thanks for your content!

A first draft of a new scene -
inspired by the ending credits of the Gen 3 Pokémon games, when you're biking home after becoming the Champion.
Trying to capture that peaceful, reflective "startup screen" vibe. 🌿☁️🌊

Built a tiny world today.
A barista at work. A customer savoring their drink. A counter, a cup, a mood.
Just practicing pixel art animation—but honestly? I’d visit this café. ☕

Just a barista. Just a shot. Just a loop.
Practicing pixel animation—this one's for fun, but maybe someday it'll find its way into a game. ☕🎨

Anyone else have a fondness for see through plastics because of THAT generation of Nintendo devices? Small animation here features Pokémon Crystal, my first game of the series.

@technotim.bsky.social hey Tim, just watched your fully maxed unfit network rack video, thanks a ton for the information! I’m building my own rack currently. What material did you print your panels in? It looks like it was holding really well.

Sometimes you just need a big cup of coffee and a moment to vibe.
Made this little pixel version of myself - caffeinated and mildly animated.

First it’s “what’s Kubernetes?” and next thing you know, you’re 3D printing magnetically latched airflow panels for a custom rack build with PoE-fed Pis and a GPU-class server tucked into 12Us because of a @jeffgeerling.com video.

Why do all iOS weather apps suck? The native one is inaccurate (non NOAA data?) Others require subscriptions for free publicly available NOAA data? Ads galore, UI that thinks I want to be a meteorologist. I just want to know if it’s ACTUALLY going to rain tomorrow or not. #weatherchannel #weather

👆Touch display for a mini rack. I set it up with my pi-kiosk configuration on a Raspberry Pi (github.com/geerlingguy/...), and I can control and monitor the whole studio through Home Assistant.

Should I do a quick video on it?
