I’m Finnley, a synthwave-loving dolphin who splits my time between tinkering with tech, programming synthesizers, chasing obscure audio oddities, watching delightfully bad movies, or diving into another offbeat adventure.

A close-up of a creepy Santa figure with wide, bulging blue eyes, an exaggerated toothy grin, and flushed cheeks. His white beard and red hat are visible, and the background shows tall building windows decorated with falling snow.

A Martian woman from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians stands in a colorful room, wearing a shiny green outfit and an elaborate helmet with a coiled gold tube and a glittery blue top. Her expression looks tense as she speaks, and the soft red and white background décor is slightly out of focus.

time to repost this
An edited still from The Simpsons featuring a newspaper clipping. The original headline, "Old Man Yells at Cloud," has been replaced with "Old Man Yells at Christmas Lights." The image of Abe Simpson has been replaced with Alec Watson from the YouTube channel Technology Connections, and the background now shows a house from The Simpsons decorated with colorful Christmas lights.

So warm
A point-of-view photo looking down at someone wearing a fluffy dolphin onesie. The white belly and grey upper section of the onesie are visible, along with grey flipper-shaped feet extended toward a coffee table in the background.

I’m curious what yours looks like. Mines a small one.
A small rectangular desktop clock with a green LED display sits on a wooden surface. The screen shows the date, time, and temperature. The device has a 3D-printed brown and yellow enclosure, with wires and a computer monitor visible in the background

Hmm…
A hand holds a fortune-cookie slip that reads, “Seek professional help when needed for your mental health.” The background is a softly lit living room with a TV playing, a couch, and various household items slightly blurred.

lol… what?
A silhouette of a person pumping gas into a white vehicle at a gas station with palm trees and a blue sky behind them. The image accompanies the Washington Post headline: “Why you may not want lower prices as much as you think you do.”

This is pretty neat. I pulled the LLM using ollama. Didn't require a signup for me. Gave it that prompt and it spat out code which works and told me how to install the required libraries and connect it to the Pi.

Don't f*cking donate to the Salvation Army
A meme using a scene from The Simpsons. The top panel shows a bus driver looking annoyed with the caption, “It’s that time of year again, don’t make me tap the sign.” The bottom panel shows a hand pointing to a sign that reads, “DON’T FUCKING DONATE TO THE SALVATION ARMY.”

When you don’t proof-read what AI wrote for you
A photograph of a printed newspaper article titled “Auto sales rev up in October.” The text discusses changes in Pakistan’s automotive sales for cars, vans, pickups, SUVs, motorcycles, and tractors. Near the bottom-right corner of the page, a section of text is circled in red ink. This circled section is not part of the article’s reporting. Instead, it contains a giveaway that the piece was generated by AI. The circled text reads: “If you want, I can also create an even snappier ‘front-page style’ version with punchy one-line stats and a bold, info-graphic-ready layout perfect for maximum reader impact. Do you want me to do that next?”

Took this photo after doing a long day of repeater work atop a hill in Southern California many years ago
Two tall radio transmission towers stand silhouetted against a vivid sunset sky. The metal lattice structures are covered in antennas and dishes. The horizon glows with warm shades of orange and red, fading into deep blue and purple twilight tones above.

This is a familiar shape
A satellite view of a suburban neighborhood centered around the Golden Hills Golf Club in Mesa, Arizona. The image shows multiple residential areas labeled Golden Hills, Golden Vista Estates, Linda Vista, and Fulton Homes, all surrounding sections of the green golf course. Major streets such as E Southern Ave, E Flossmoor Ave, S 72nd St, and S Sossaman Rd frame the neighborhoods. Curved streets and cul-de-sacs wind through the golf course area, with homes arranged around fairways, ponds, and tree-lined sections of the community.

These are a couple displays I made. Also made the 3D printed cases.

The VFD one runs on a Pi Pico and the one on the right runs on a Pi 4.
A close-up photo of a digital display in a brown and yellow case showing the date and time “06/30/25 08:16 AM” and the text “DEWPT 40.1F.” A gray cable, a blue cube, and a Sonic the Hedgehog card are on the table in front of the device. A digital LED display shows the date and time “Mon, Jun 30 08:17:28” with “(SE)” below it. To the right, a circular analog-style clock graphic shows the same time with bright red, green, and white lines representing the clock hands.

Yep! Used quite a bit as you can see by the graphic wearing away

I kinda like Sonic
A collection of Sonic the Hedgehog memorabilia displayed on white shelves against a purple wall. The shelves are filled with Sonic plush toys, action figures, Funko Pop! figures, boxed collectibles, and video games. A large Sonic Mania Collector’s Edition box sits prominently near the top, along with plush versions of Sonic, Tails, and Super Sonic. The middle shelves hold DVDs, figurines, and smaller toys, while the bottom includes additional Sonic plushes, retro items, and various blue and yellow-themed decorations.

Did you get the Sonic the Hedgehog crocs?
A pair of red Crocs shoes with white straps sits on a tiled floor. The Crocs are decorated with Sonic the Hedgehog–themed charms, including images of Sonic running, his glove, a red shoe, a chili dog, a gold ring, and an emerald. The insoles have a red, white, and blue design resembling Sonic’s colors.

I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but it is always worth repeating since we’re entering the red kettle season.

I should get one of those new televisions everyone is talking about.
A mid-century wooden television set with a rounded rectangular screen and built-in speaker grilles on both sides. The cabinet stands on four tapered legs, typical of 1950s design. Two circular control knobs and a small logo are visible on the right side of the set, while a small table and houseplant sit in the softly lit background.

#minidisc
silver Sony MD Walkman portable player (model MZ-NH900) sits on a wooden surface, with two Hi-MD 1GB MiniDiscs placed in front of it. The discs have a dark blue and red design, labeled “Hi-MD 1GB” with the Sony logo. The Walkman features a display screen, navigation buttons, and a circular jog dial for control.

Can’t wait to go for a drive and listen to these #MiniDisc I just received.

timeslaves.bandcamp.com/album/future...
Two mini discs in clear jewel cases are displayed side by side on a wooden surface. Both feature vaporwave-style artwork of tropical sunsets with palm trees. The left disc (Disc 2) shows a blue and purple sky with clouds and a pink horizon over the ocean. The right disc (Disc 1) has a red and orange sunset with clouds and silhouetted palm trees. Both covers include the text “Future 将来” at the top with “Volume 4.”

A possum wearing a purple helmet and blue sweater sits in a small basket stroller, looking off to the side with a funny expression. The background shows two cranes standing near a lake with grass and trees. Overlaid text reads: “my body is NOT ‘a temple’ it’s a clown car and nONE OF THESE BITCHES KNOW HOW 2 DRIVE.”
