Initial thoughts on the Pixel 10 series: eSIM-only has been a complete pain and has taken me back to the horror days of CDMA phones on Verizon.

Phone-to-phone transfer? Won't allow me.
Called T-Mobile to provide IMEI and EID? Errors out downloading the eSIM.

Just let me use a nano SIM, ffs!

Update on the resistance: I didn't 🤠👍🏻

And last, but certainly not least... A wild @actionretro.bsky.social appeared! In addition to being a retro computing guru, he *also* knows how to shred on guitar + play some banging drums!

It's been so awesome meeting all these cool people at (my first!) VCF! 😁

I'm not done yet! This evening, I got to meet @vkc.sh! It turns out that in addition to putting Linux on things, she knows how to play multiple instruments -- including the Commodore 64! 😁

Using Tetris for makeshift EMDR is both insane and brilliant

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

Counter: We should make Ohio a national park and class its residents into wild animals.

CNN did a ranking of "the top workplace TV shows of the last 25 years" that included Grey's Anatomy and The Pitt, but DIDN'T include House... absolutely tragic fake news and I need to have a Vicodin over this 🥀🥀🥀

I just found out Beethoven allegedly would count the exact number of coffee beans (60) when making a cup of coffee and you cannot convince me otherwise that he wasn't neurodivergent as hell 😭

I'm travelling out from Ohio to attend VCFMW for the first time this year, and I'm super excited to see all the exhibits and meet all sorts of cool people. I'll be sure to stop by and say hello to you and Maccy! 😁

I don't know anybody who's lived in both Chicago and Columbus, but if such a person sees this... do we agree that the Chicago equivalent of Grandview is Lincoln Park and Lakeview??

Sitting in the sunshine listening to In a Good Way by Faye Webster, drinking an iced PSL, reflecting on my day and planning out my trip out-of-state next week.

This feels *lovely.*

I've decided on a whim (as all the best decisions are made) to go to VCF Midwest next weekend. Looking forward to it! :D

Must resist the urge to drive back from Illinois with a car full of retro junk....
