Using emerging tech to make cool things. Big fan of well being. I sometimes bake cakes, and eat them, too. I also watch & post about soccer, mostly #WoSo They/them. [bridged from https://mograph.social/@anakin78z on the fediverse by https://fed.brid.gy/ ]

That was a crazy game. Phoenix came alive in the 4th, tied it twice after being down 16, and had a shot at taking it to overtime, but A'ja made the winning shot to Gibbs the Aces a 3-0 lead in the finals.

Ok, this is bad. Sabally clearly has a concussion. I hate that they basically make people walk off the court. She was in no state to even stand up.

I could be wrong, but I think A'ja Wilson might be good at basketball.

#veiltober day 8: Strife

I just finished his story in Tevinter Nights, so I had to add the little sketch of him skewered by an arrow.

#dragonage

Sketch of Strife from Dragon Age Veilguard. He's an elf with an intricate face tattoo.

There's a small sketch of him in the corner, skewered by an arrow, saying: I'm fine.

Definitely a new low last night in NWSL broadcasting, as a goal was scored while CBS was playing 2 ads. It was the only goal of the game.

I really hope the NWSL gives them hell over this. It's bad for their product.

Me, last night: I can haz sleep?

Covid: no, only coughing for 1 hour.

Me: now sleep?

Cats: first, let 2 of us out, 1 in.

Me: now sleep!

Dream: You're on a field trip!

Me: yay!

Dream: one of your charges had an allergic reaction and their face is swelling.

Me: why??

Dream: also, they are […]

#veiltober day 7: Elgar'nan

The early days of being an elf must have been fun.

#dragonage

Cartoon panel of Elgar'nan from Dragon Age Veilguard. He's holding the sun in his hands and is running rapidly, a big smile on his face.

Elgar'nan! You bring that sun back, right now!

It's illustrated in the style of Calvin and Hobbes.

Me, hoping some of the supposed new people from the blue sky post about Dragon Age...

So far, nothing. I guess I'll keep using blue sky for now.

#veiltober dat 6: Tarquin

I feel like he's just wallpaper. Tried something a bit different with this sketch.

#dragonage

A caricature of Tarquin from Dragon Age Veilguard. His face is shrunk down, and his hair and beard elongated.

I came up with a new app idea, and I was wondering if anyone knew of anything similar? #askmastodon

Basically, it's to help coordinate people for sports, specifically focusing on public spaces, not paid facilities.
E.g. We know that there are lots more people using the Pickleball courts in our […]

Steam Link is so cool, but I hate how many issues I run into with it.

I had one of my kids bring me an xbox controller, and turn my computer on, so that I could stream to my tablet.

First I had to get past the lockscreen, which involved my kid going and click in OK on a box. Fine.

It worked […]

Ugh, still testing positive for COVID.

I mostly feel better, but still have a bit of a cough.

Going to work at my (home) desk today, but will mask, and probably take lots of breaks.

#veiltober day 5: Harding

I loved this banter between Emmrich and her, after they start talking about how to handle intimacy with Rook.

#dragonage

Sketch of Lace Harding from Dragon Age Veilguard. She's looking up at us, hands on her hips, saying: Emmrich, I'm not a child. I'm just short!

Well well well, if it isn't the Chicago Stars coming back from multiple goals down to tie the game. 😏

I'm so bummed 😔, Quantum Leap was cancelled after 2 seasons. It was SO good!
I'd never even heard about it before my wife told me to watch it on Netflix.

Do yourself a favor and watch it. It's so much fun.

The photo shows a male bearded tit in a close-up view from the front, with its legs stretched forward as it prepares to land on two parallel reed stalks. The bird is surrounded by reeds.

Paramount+ seriously has the worst development team of any streaming service.

I'm glad that after like 90 years they finally added a SKIP button to the unwanted previews before every show, but .. like, come on! Why do I now have 2 skip buttons that won't go away?

Photo of Ghosts UK playing on a TV. In the bottom right corner there is a SKIP INTRO button. Even further in the corner there is an additional Skip button.

Quantum Leap season 1 was awesome. 19 episodes in one season?!? In this economy? I feel spoiled.

Taking a break before starting the next season. What should I watch next?

Happy caturday from Particle, who definitely did not intend to run into Amethyst.

#caturday

2 cats facing each other on a lawn. A grey cat seems startled, low to the ground, ready to make a run for it. A husky calico is standing tall, looking slightly grumpy about seeing the other cat.

It's fall, and the lawn is littered with brown leaves. In the background we see a wood dog house, a wooden bench, and farmland in front of a nice sunset.
