Amazing detail as a Falcon leaves Earth from Florida. We can see the rocket exhaust turbulence and shape, and even sunspots.

Knicks in Five

Color snapshot of a man wearing shorts, a basketball jersey, and a baseball cap seated in a crowded New York street scene at night. He's in front of a well-illuminated old-fashioned Singer sewing machine table, looking at his phone.

"Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and as gorgeous as a Caravaggio."

Vogue did an interview with him: https://www.vogue.com/article... and this is his website: https://www.tattoodcloth.com; his embroidery machine is, he says, 104 years old.

Thank you, sir. Mine is in as well:

I am an American citizen. I've been one my whole life.

I would like to express my disapproval and objection to this proposal.

Effectively invented by the Roman Empire, triumphal arches are historical symbols of imperial, non-democratic leaders commemorating dubious moments of their significance: military victories and the comings-and-goings of family members into non-elected leadership.

Our national parks, along with the brave and dutiful individuals who care for them, are in dire need of funding and personnel support. I can think of countless ways our national efforts and treasure could be better spent than on this truly pathetic gesture, peddled by sycophants, to stroke the ego of a dangerous fool.

How I made a 60fps Eink Monitor, the Modos Flow

alt text
This video is nuts. 60fps e-ink display isn’t something I thought I’d see. I’ve said this before, but I am glad the open source hardware folks are out there doing their thing. The video at 9m13s really struck a chord with me. I too have solved problems I never wanted to learn about. From the transcript:

“Here's what full-time on this project looks like: I work more hours than I ever did at my job. Nights, weekends - the boundaries blur. I play fewer games. I have less free time.

I solve problems I never wanted to learn about.

And here's the thing: I don't regret it. Because it's mine. When I make a decision, it happens. When I solve a problem, it stays solved. When I want to implement a feature, I don't need to convince anyone. I'm tired. But it's my tired.”

Dan Larson, 1935–2026

an elderly man with close-cropped hair wearing a light blue cardigan smiles as he holds up an electronic collage piece. It's of a stylized 1990s Ford dashboard, with a glowing green digital clock showing "3:10" and a flashing red "AIR BAG" warning.

an elderly man with close-cropped hair wearing a light blue cardigan smiles as he holds up an electronic collage piece. It's of a stylized 1990s Ford dashboard, with a glowing green digital clock showing "3:10" and a flashing red "AIR BAG" warning.
I just found out that my friend and mentor, J.D. (Dan) Larson, passed away. He was found unresponsive by a neighbour. He was 91 years old.

Dan had a long career in high-energy physics. After a PhD at Caltech, he developed particle accelerator technology at Oak Ridge and Argonne. In the 1990s he stepped away from research to care for his elderly parents in Independence, MO. He had been in poor health for the last couple of years, and died in the home he'd been born in. Dan was my mother-in-law's companion.

This picture was taken in December 2014, and Dan is holding up a collage my partner made for him to thank him for taking her to the airport in the middle of the night (hence the "3:10" clock). Dan drove a very well-used 1990 Ford station wagon, which had many sensors broken or failing. The airbag light was constantly flashing, as did the indicator in the collage. A tremendously precise man, it didn't bother Dan that his gas gauge was broken: he knew exactly how many miles he got on a full tank.

I'll miss him.

scruss pro 17 hours ago
Thanks, all. He was a good 'un.

@Argie It was hard not to spend a long time with Dan. No matter how hard you'd try to get him to talk about physics days (he was at Caltech while Feynman was, but Dan was all about experimental HE physics, not theoretical) or even his early computing days (he used a IBM 650 in the late 1950s), he'd want to tell you how he kept his salvaged lawn mower going out of bits he found in the neighbour's trash.

The most Dan moment I remember was when he was helping my MIL plan new railings around her roof deck. The house (1870s) had a door onto the roof, but no rails, and the city demanded everyone put in railings. Dan rolls up with a big printout of measurements, all tabulated in 8-decimal place Fortran scientific notation. They were (of course) correct, but the contractor had never seen anything like it

this album caught my eye this morning while looking through the collection of someone who had followed me on bandcamp.

a little fried today, so maybe a description another time. suffice it to say it's cool, dense, expansive, one heck of an interesting musical journey so far

Moebius

A color illustration by Moebius. It shows three people standing in tall yellow grass. The middle figure is holding a rifle and wearing a pith helmet. Behind them, completely covering the entire background is the head of a dinsaur-like creature. Its mouth seems to have a little blood coming out of it, suggesting it might have been shot by the person with the rifle.

"New York is a big, mean, wonderful, impatient city that has waited 53 years to celebrate the team it cares about most. Despite the reflexive swagger of its fanbase — “Knicks in four!” became a rallying cry across the boroughs this year; then “Knicks in five!” when they lost a game — it was still nearly impossible to process, in the hours after its N.B.A. championship, that any of this had happened.

When New York comes together — really comes together — it is often in response to something tragic: 9/11, Sandy, Covid. Part of the magic of this run was the notion that uncomplicated joy was also an option. At least every 53 years or so." - Matt Flegenheimer

It's done. I installed everything this morning, and within about 10 minutes, neighbors started coming by to play.

This is just me (my wife shot the vertical video) plinking around.

I'll post a bunch of process photos and notes on the blog and add a link to that here eventually, but as of today, I'm really pleased with the sound quality from the resonators.

It's lovely having soft tones float up through the living room window as random people stop by to make random music.

It's the whole reason why I built the thing in the first place.

Screenshot of some font samples, including the classic Mac system font Chicago, here called "Chicago15", used for all menus, window bar titles, system messages, and so on for Mac systems 1-7.5. There is "Chicago30", which is a 2x upscale from Chicago15. Below them are "Monaco11" and "Monaco15", the sans-serif monospace font which has been a default system font from the very first Mac through today, over 40 years later, albeit looking very different due to how much the technology has changed.

...a kind soul has made the effort of compiling various dumps people have made of old Macintosh system fonts (and other user-inaccessible fonts, such as "eWorld Tight 18"!), including bitmap and early OpenType fonts, and released them as uniform FontFactory and Truetype files.

There are hundreds of fonts and variations here. In the days before live onscreen vector graphics each size had to be drawn separately, so they look different in ways you can't replicate just by up/downscaling one font.
