Taught myself AppleSoft BASIC when I was 12 on an Apple IIe. Been writing code for fun and profit ever since.
I sometimes look up at the night sky and wish the same thing would happen to me like in the movie Phenomenon with John Travolta.
I used Google Gemini to create a scientific white paper for the discussion I was having about faster than light travel. Take a look and tell me what you think. Do you also wish we had warp drive to explore the stars?

BBS: 20 for Beers
My current favorite hangout is this BBS:
2o fOr beeRS bbS
Look me up when you get there
I'm ramgarden there too.
I play LORD and Trade Wars 2000 of you want to join there too.
In case you don't feel old yet or don't feel the unstoppable march of time, here's some of the lyrics from the song Older by They Might be Giants.
You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.
You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're older still.
What's everyone think about the new all electric Ferrari Luce?
I'm mad they didn't make it look like a normal Ferrari and more like a Nissan Leaf. They could have easily kept their own design language in the EV and wouldn't hurt the total range that much.
Is it time to go all in for #Meshtastic? I'm thinking of setting up a node at my house to help out a bit. Send messages without a carrier like T-Mobile or AT&T. Just node to node to the recipient. Decentralized and free sounds good to me! #AccidentalRhyme

Tomorrow, May 25, I fully expect this place to blow up with Geek Pride Day and Towel Day references and well wishes. I will be wearing my towel with 42 stamped on it all day because I'm a hoopty frood that really knows where my towel is!
Are you excited to watch the SpaceX Starship test flight 12 today? I sure am. Guaranteed excitement! They intentionally removed one of the heat shield tiles to see how it performs. So note that it might blow up but that's okay.

The twelfth flight test of Starship is preparing to launch Thursday, May 21. The 90-minute launch window will open at 5:30 p.m. CT.
Anyone want to help me 3D CAD up some scaled up and simplified mechs for a toddler friendly Battletech floor mat game? I want to make a giant roll out floor mat with like two or three inch hex map. Then use large simplified (no sharp points or antennas or guns that could break off) mech designs and 3D print those in kid safe plastic. I even thought about using those mech plushies I saw online but not sure how well they'd stay in a hex space. I bought large wooden 6D dice so the dice is already taken care...
Some of my favorite passages from the Tao de Ching
Three powerful examples of tangible objects deriving their utility from what is not there:
The Wheel: Thirty spokes join a central hub, but the empty hole for the axle is what allows the wagon to move.
The Vessel: Clay is molded into a pot, but the emptiness inside is what actually holds whatever you want.
The Room: Walls and windows are built, but the inner space makes the room livable.
I have so many unfinished projects with Google AI Studio. Is this the new way of life for vibe coding?
Anyone else get their free comic books for #FreeComicBookDay?
My local shop is doing it every Saturday in May and you 10 free comics every single time!
Nothing like coming into work on a Monday and staring at your computer while it updates...
Guess I'll go ahead and chug this first coffee and make my second coffee while I wait! Yay more coffee!
My current AI Studio project: a SNES game compiler as a service. You can use whatever tools you want or even AI Studio to make your SNES game then just zip up your project folder and upload to my service. It will compile it all and then let you download the ROM to play with an emulator. Good idea or bad idea?
Since this site is meant to be similar to old BBS era I'd like to recommend the game that kept me coming back to my favorite BBS back in the day: LORD Legend of the Red Dragon. You can play it online as a web app remake LOGD Legend of the Green Dragon. https://www.lotgd.nl/home.php?
Happy 4/20 y'all! Checking in from my Disney cruise vacation on castaway cay. T-Mobile roaming data plan ain't bad. Hope everything is going ok at work since I took a whole week off. It should be since one project is just now starting up so there's not much to do quite yet.
I just found out you can use Google Gemini and Google AI Studio to create Super Nintendo games! Don't worry I will be sharing the ROM so you can play it when I'm finished.
