I've come up with a solution to my problem of opening up too many tabs:
Whenever I find I have too many tabs open, I just open a new window.
Now I have too many windows open, but that's a problem for another day.
Heading to #Defcon for the first time in 13 years!
#hackersummercamp FTW!
I once had a bug in my shipping system that would sometimes send parcels meant for Virginia to the Vatican.
I hope The Pope enjoyed the purple circuit boards.
Took a break from #gamedev the last few weeks to get a hardware idea out of my head. These electronic flowers can be placed into a vase that has voltage wired into two layers that make contact with copper on the stems. #steam #electronics #techart #arduino Thank you to @oshpark.bsky.social
An Amazon delivery van just drove by blasting eurodance like some kind of fantastic ice cream truck.
A finger-trap lies on the wet pavement. It has been subjected to great violence, as though someone chewed their way through the middle.
Evidence of a prison break.
Your friendly reminder that "pkill -9 -v pattern" does not mean "verbose kill processes named this", no matter how much you want it to.
My #superpowers include knowing the date in UNIX epoch time to within about a week. Happy 1741xxxxxx to those who celebrate.
Ley me tell you, the Blender folks are losing their mind right now.
I’m excited to announce that due to popular demand, we will release the full animatic of Flow aka Float aka the Crazy Frog Edition. Instead of using storyboards, all the scenes are designed directly in 3D. Everything was made in Blender and rendered in EEVEE.
I love that the guy who developed the measles vaccine cussed like a trooper, and his bosses tried to make him go to "charm school". He created something like 40 vaccines that save millions of lives each year, but hardly anyone recognizes his name.

We’ve got a new paper out today about hummingbirds and game theory. One of my co-authors, @kevinzollman.com, has written a very nice explainer thread here. 🪶
I cannot believe how common the "curl $URL | bash" installation pattern is.
..But maybe it's better to be so explicitly bad. I don't think many people understand the amount of trust you're putting into some random person when you "npm install" their package.
Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines?

Hello! I'm a maker, LED enthusiast, electronic artist, software developer, 3D printer, laser cutter, and hardware tinkerer.
I sell and share what I make as Evil Genius Labs: evilgeniuslabs.org
If you like anything you see here, it might be available in my store: lectronz.com/stores/evilgeniuslabs

I'm convinced crow gifts are 90% "I was carrying around this neat thing I found, but decided I wanted more room to carry food."
Three crows stand in a line on a chain link fence.
Gotta get your crows in a row. #crows #corvids
My every-day carry is:
Unsalted, roasted peanuts in the shell
Cat food or dog kibble
But to REALLY make friends quickly:
Cashews
Scrambled eggs

I love the Mt. Hood ravens. So friendly and personable.
Home of the fastest fiber slingers in the west.
Here's some examples we've collected over the years:

A neat pinwheel mesh
Blender screenshot of array modifier settings.
I think a torus mesh with "Minor Segments" set to 4 would also work.
Took a torus, moved it's origin to its outside edge, added an empty at the same point, rotated the empty 120 degrees, and used an array modifier to place three of them at the correct angles. Edit the mesh to remove unneeded faces.
I didn't realize that bsky puts you into whichever feed tab you were last reading when you come back to the site.
I was like "Boy, sure is a lot of awesome crow content today."
There are currently 2,934 certified open source hardware projects, Adafruit is almost up to 800! We're just 4 away! certification.oshwa.org/list.html?q=... which is 27.13% of all certified open source hardware projects! @oshwassociation.bsky.social #electronics
Another crow shot with a reflection but check out the purple iridescence on its feathers, I did not know this happened. This was a really cool learning experience. #crows #corvids #reflections #birds #birdphotography #nature #westcoast #victoriabc #britishcolumbia #canada #vancouverisland
Lab on the Cheap (www.labonthecheap.com) looks like an amazing resource, but no updates since 2021. I periodically run across great journal articles, but is there a place where articles on DIY cheap lab equipment are gathered?
More fun with compute shaders and particles. This time with flocking algorithms.
50,000 particles. #godot
Behold the power of parallel processing! (GPUs are fun).
2.5 Million particles, gravity, and collisions.
#godot compute shaders.
