For Earth week I want to give you my very best environmental-friendliness advice:

Go green anywhere you just don't fucking care.

Take a few days. Look at what you use in a day, how your life operates.

Don't care what toilet paper you use? Get the sugarcane stuff. Don't care what you drink water out of? Use a jar. Won't miss a bit of cash? See if you can buy renewable electricity. Visit a local dairy if all you need is milk or eggs. Buy the microbead-free toothpaste. Etc.

Low-hanging fruit.

Just a reminder, 20 years later Roygbiv is still one of the greatest electronic tracks of all time.

And this fan made video is something else. #np #boardsofcanada

Four games that inspired me.

The first two are a bit obscure, but were my first exposure to interactive fiction and 3D gaming. The number on the second one is not frames per second. It might be seconds per frame.

The second two were inspirations mostly in terms of what their world implied rather than how well they executed on the premise.

My new operating system just boots into a browser that’s pointed at a mastodon instance.

I call it Boot to Toot.

My nephew has an ipad.

He asked his dad how to write games. His dad didn't know. His dad asked me how to write games on an iPad. I told him not to bother.

My nephew asked me how to learn to write games.

I gave him a raspberry pi and a copy of pico 8.

Now he writes computer games.

He couldn't do that on his iPad.

Not quite the #Cyberpunk future I envisioned

This was mostly meant as a quick meme about keyboards, but the picture ended up coming out pretty well. #unicomp #modelm

Closeup photos of the HTV supply spacecraft are quite stunning

It's really too bad that it's expendable. After each mission to the ISS, it's deorbited and burns up on reentry

This is a remarkable time in our history where very expensive and intricately engineered works are deliberately destroyed after a single use. Each craft is like an elaborate funeral pyre for an ancient ruler
