I saw someone trying to make an app/site for that, but (you'll never believe this) last I saw, the project looked abandoned.

That is an impressive run! Here's hoping it continues!

The customers I've seen so far are a delightful bunch. Young hobbyists, older folks with long histories with typewriters, and anyone who just thinks they're neat!

Nah, they did what tech companies do: sold off our department and laid everyone off.

But also, much like a Miyazaki movie, there is an ominous shadow of military industry nearby.

Foot ferry between Port Orchard and Bremerton. This is the Carlisle II. She's the oldest Mosquito Fleet ferry still afloat! I made a model of her in Blender last year. I still gotta go back and finish up a couple details on that, but here's one of the test prints.

I've lived on the west coast for over a decade, and last week I was buying mayo and thought "wait, why is it not Hellmann's?". Thank you for letting me know this is a regional thing I've just completely not noticed.

Something on my website is acting really weird and this page is broken right now. I'll have to sit down and diagnose that later.

Previously, I was using my 90s Nickelodeon "Blast Box", which looks cool as hell, but doesn't sound all that good.

I'm a "windows open as much as possible" guy. If it's above 50F (10C) and not raining (mist is ok), my windows are open. The only exceptions are highways or so hot/humid that I need AC to not sweat my ass off.

It's 63F (17C), sunny, dry, low pollen count, with light breeze. We're on rural roads lined with 100ft (30m) tall douglas firs. There's almost no traffic. I can see two different mountain ranges and the Puget Sound. It's stunning.

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOUR WINDOWS CLOSED????

I have to imagine that there's a fair bit of screen fatigue in there as well. It's really nice to be free of notifications or the temptation to look up any random thought that pops up. Plus, we're getting a lot of bad news all the time coming through those same screens.

It's used more, but god it's so bad. I still use Craigslist and have better luck there most of the time.
