a very tiny model of a violin picked out in clear UV-hardening resin on a white background. There is a 200 µm scale bar next to the model, which is about a third the total length
from my friend Vik: one of his latest RepRapMicron prints in UV cure resin. It's a very tiny violin indeed.

Yo La Tengo - "We're an American Band" (Official Audio)
alt text
audio post of yo la tengo's song "we're an american band" (no, NOT the grand funk railroad song) from their 1997 album "i can hear the heart beating as one. preview screen is the album art, which features a yellow-tinged long exposure photo of a city street, with a red bar above it carrying the band name in a thin all-caps sans serif font
one of my all-time favorite albums, keeping me afloat today.
(i am so tired, man, and so wired at the same time.)
nearly 30 years later, every single sound in this song gives me goosebumps. foundational to every part of me.

also, as always, a reminder that this is NOT a cover of the grand funk railroad song. this is... yeah, an entirely different experience, and worth six minutes of your time.
My favorite or second favorite album of theirs, I think. (Electr-O-Pura is the other contender.)
@snarkout this one, electr-o-pura, and ...and then nothing turned itself inside out have always been a kind of "holy trinity" of albums to me

The logo for the software and gaming company Panic. It is a circle with ten curved bumps on the edge, resembling a seal or stamp. Set in the center is a square, geometrically precise letter P. The logo is in slightly blurry rainbow colors on a black background. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

front-seat tots
alt text
Ad for an "Auto Strap for front-seat tots" from a 1961 Sears catalog. A photo of a maybe 2-year-old child standing on the front seat of a car, looking out the window. It wears loose khaki pants and white t-shirt, and is restrained by a harness that goes over its shoulders and around the waist, connecting to a strap tucked into the back seat cushion.
The ad copy reads, "Guards your child as you're busy driving through traffic. Let's him sit, stand, kneel or sleep without disturbing the driver. Prevents spills from sudden stops. Heave web harness attaches to safety strap that snaps to car seat frame. Removes easily. Also use as a walking harness. For 1 to 10-year-olds. Fits any car. Shpg. wt. 2 oz. 49 G 2945.....$1.88"

Very grainy photo of a roof
'October 26, 2026, is widely recognized as the 200th anniversary of the first-ever photograph by French inventor Nicéphore Niépce. “View from a Window at Le Gras” was thought to have been taken on October 26, 1826'

As Andrea would tell it, as far as my photos are concerned, we only have one cat*… but the truth is any time I try to take Cookie’s picture she comes barreling towards me for lovin’!
Heh.

Oh heck yes!
When I’ve been there, I’ve had sardines at least twice per visit. I’ve been tolg it’s a “plebeian” choice and “workers” food. I don’t care. Fresh caught and not frozen, they’re delicious.

Walked up a mountain on the weekend
alt text
Got up at 5am and went to walk up a mountain on the weekend, with a 7 year old. Maybe 400-600m of ascent, so nothing crazy, but we were already at over 2000m to begin with. Kiddo got tired but took it like a champ.
Gorgeous!

trickle down

The Office whiteboard meme, but the first panel says "I've got a joke about trickle down economics" and the second says "but 99% of your won't get it."
I like the exchange later in the thread where someone says "Wait- Robert Reich found tumblr?" and he replies with "I've been here the whole time," the line his son says at the start of every episode of Game Changer.

Scream Club Wednesdays

Poster for Scream Club. Title is in bloody dripping pink. At the bottom is a '50s-style woman clasping her face in her hands, eyes wide and screaming. The text reads, "Scream Club / Wednesdays! / 4390 Cole mill rd durham nc / I'm so serious. Everybody meet at Eno River and let's scream until our nervous systems reboot. Bring your friends. Bring a blanket. Bring whatever emotional damage you're carrying."
Organizer has been soliciting interest and suggestions for this for a while now, so it looks like the inaugural event is a go.

a snippet of a lame assed resume, reading "Nicholas Garcia" in white and "Researcher & Content Curator" in orange
i finally saw a job listing a couple of days ago that made me go “wow, i might have a chance at that” and set out to finally update my resume.
glad that i was able to collect a handful of coworkers/bosses willing to be references, and happy that i actually spent time tonight jazzing up my entirely-too-long resume, even though the latest covid booster is trying to kill me.
i don’t think i’ll get the job, but my goal is to stop futzing with the text and finish the application before the end of the weekend.
vibe for me, pls. or gimme yr best pep talk. or something. yeah.
(and no, my resume is NOT orange text on black background. that's just dark reader inverting google docs' colors so i don't fry my retinas in the dark)
