Trying to talk to the kids about good smartphone use habits and realizing I'm going to have to fix myself first. I grew up in a family that was able to help me learn, for example, how to limit my television time and recognize the tricks that broadcasters would use to encourage you to keep watching. But phones? My generation had zero guidance. I look at how the boomers got eaten alive by Fox News because they grew up without that guidance and it's terrifying. How much brain rot am I experiencing without even noticing?

Okay. This device says it does USB 1.1. It's got a weird four-pin connector. Two of the pins are ground.
I'm guessing it's just ignoring power and using the other two as D+/D-? I'll give it a quick whirl.
Battery didn't even leak, and it's got a 1GB SD card on there. Probably my mom's or my brother's? It has that 00's rubbery plastic that gets sticky, but it hasn't gotten sticky yet. Anyone have preservation hints?
this song has been living rent free in my mind for the past twenty years and it's welcome to it

Video of a talk I gave yesterday at the MoMath Moves 2022 conference, on some of the puzzles I've been working on recently. There are one or two things in here that I haven't got around to making a proper video of yet! https://youtu.be/SDZlsUHGhGM
Looking after two small children during a pandemic. Squishes entire interior life into last two hours of the day. Presume that everything here is written in a distracted haze. Hardware, software, linocut, trying to build a website after a couple decades away.
