knit Menger sponge

The finished sponge sitting my open hand, viewed from a corner; a red, orange, and yellow face are each visible, with central cavities in shadow where the connecting tunnels recede into the center of the shape. It’s about four inches on a side and at least roughly cubic.
To the surprise of absolutely no one. Done over 12/31 and 1/1; full build thread here: https://mastodon.social/@joshmil...
A million little problems with it but it went according to overall plan and that's pretty delightful. There will likely be a larger, more carefully executed version at some point with more squared-offness to it, but doing a proof of concept where I didn't slow myself down by worrying about tidiness felt really valuable.

You are committed to the bit. And I love it.

Perfect is the enemy of done.

You are really something

Me in a jacket with a hood pulled over my head. It has that sort of fake fur around the edges and the fake fur is being blown back. I'm wearing a brown wool scarf. I have very rosy cheeks and something approximating a smile. I am outside. It's sunny and the sky is a bright blue.
Was heckin' windy out today. Got a nearly two mile walk in today despite the several inches of snow last night. Did a pleasant NYE with neighbors, last night, learned a new card game, ate some delicious food. Was home by 10, and in bed by 11:30. Grateful for you nerds.
Happy new year, friend.
What was the new card game? HNY!
you look fantastic, what a great selfie!!!
Grateful for you!

Noah, your dad is right and you should just accept the shame and shortsightedness.

I’m dog sitting Jackson for 6 months. He’s actually a cat and licks his paws all the time, especially with the salted sidewalks. He cleans them so thoroughly, with his teeth, that he sometimes makes wounds. Those then need more cleaning and gnawing. And then, sigh, it’s cone time again…
He doesn’t mind wearing it but it feels kinda like a punishment. On this last day of the year I decided to be a true ally and also wear the cone of shame.

I have advocated for years that we call it the Cone of Bravery. Road salt burns widdle paws!
We had a bout of paw-licking with our pooch. Turned out to be allergies. He now gets shots regularly which has helped immensely.
Ha, that's hilarious. And also very kind
And despair...

What is the porpoise of all this?

I've spent some time this week scanning old photos and loading them to Flickr. I thought I'd share this one of my Dutch stepmother feeding a dolphin at the Jack Evans' Pet Porpoise Pool, or Dolphin Oceanarium, at the Snapper Rocks Sea Baths in Coolangatta, Queensland in 1965. (Queenslanders on here likely know of this spot.)
She's 20 years old in this picture. This is less than 1 year away from meeting my widowed father who, a year later, gave her a 2 year old (me) as a wedding gift. We haven't always had the best relationship but she's mellowed in her older years and we're pretty cool now. She turned 80 last November, so I'm preparing myself, however she's pretty active and astute so I think she'll likely outlive me!

At first glance, prior to reading your wonderful caption I thought this was Taylor Swift.

Post New Year's Plunge

2 middle aged men in a crowd of people, all of whom are bundled up against cold weather cold. It is a bright, clear, winter day on the beach. One of the men wears a blue cap that says "Coney Island Polar Bear Club"
Went to the Coney Island Polar Bear Plunge with my friend Howard again this year. Much colder than the last few years we've gone — mid 20s and super windy. Took a long time for my toes to wake back up, but still hella fun.
A CBS reporter interviewed me just before I went in and after I came out. Pretty sure I was speaking in tongues as I tried to dry off so I don't expect any airtime.

Titled as found.

The words “New Year, New Ewe” are separated (top to bottom) by a drawing of a white, wooly sheep giving birth. The baby lamb is just poking out of the vaginal opening with its head and front legs visible. The lamb is wearing a blue and yellow striped party hat and seemed to be blowing on a noise-maker.
Happy New Year to this beloved collection of kindred spirits. I send much love from this cranky, curmudgenous soul to wherever you are in the world.
Happy 2026! 🎉

¿JFC, IS THAT BBQ SAUCE?
@shitleopard no? I use Speedy's sauces, just had 2 bottles on hand - https://speedyshotsauce.com/
Don't sleep on the Costco street taco kit made with their left-over chicken. VERY easy dinner for 4
A roar of disgust
