I did not know that Encarta's original working name was 'Gandalf'. Not only slight suprised, but pleasantly so.

Well done to Blue Origin! This was a really tough high pressure launch, and though I would like to criticize it there really isnt much. Launch went well, payload deployment, and a beautiful landing.

I'm really enjoying that a new generation is discovering how amazing #finalfantasytactics is. I played this game back in the late 90s on PS1 and even then I was blown away by how simply complex it was to pack 100+ hours onto one cd. It is beyond a masterpiece in game design and storytelling.

Wifi on the moon!

Im really excited to see where this technology goes, due to the unique problems of low-g environments and signal processing. Well done!

I'm not very familiar with the Virtual World Society, but in their current fundraiser, they're offering a tour of USC's Immersive Archive Project, which includes the last remaining Sensorama!

My DnD game just cancelled for this afternoon so the DM can make better maps.

I want to be bummed, but now I can play #oblivion all day. Feels like I should watch old school #Saturday morning #saturdaymorningcartoons.

Any recommendations?

A 25% cut to NASA's overall budget looks like bad news for SLS and Orion, but $18.8B is still a lot of money. Focus is on human grade lunar and mars. With about $8B earmarked in 2026. Wonder of we're actually going to see SLS 1B and 2.

I recently started a creative project using #ShuttershockGenerate for visuals. With the murky water around #Midjourney and Stability's most likely violation of fair use, it seemed like the most fair way to use #genai tools while also doing it ethically.
