Today's discovery: if I put on Dancing Mad (SNES version, naturally) as I get onto the 5, I can get from North San Diego county all the way to my exit in San Diego proper just as it is ending.

An old colleague offered to etch a design of my choice onto a metal water bottle, and y'all.... YOU KNOW I requested the Monado. #xenoblade

Every time I see this ad in the circulars, I automatically think of @moonblazewolf.fastestfurs.com . Because LOOK at that guy just chilling out! And with Ernesto the hot repairman, no less. 👀

I played Xenogears while taking chemistry in high school, and that's where I learned about nanotechnology. Decided to go to school for that. Nanostructures underpinned my PhD, and now I use them to develop custom lateral flow diagnostic tests. Thanks, Tetsuya Takahashi and @square-enix-games.com !

Dennis nedry meme showing that nobody cares about Dick Cheney dying.

As I am a millennial, I think a meme sums up the news quite appropriately.

This would all make it MUCH more intriguing.

Had so much fun yesterday at #alfc2025 showing off some work I did moving a Covid/Flu visual lateral flow triplex test into a more sensitive fluorescent version. Lots of interesting new faces and concepts at the Advanced Lateral Flow Conference!

And then she'll get into it so hard that she'll need her own physical copies of all the games! Not that I'm speaking from experience 👀

She might look apprehensive now, but soon she'll forget all about the dude and just want to play Xenoblade.

Sometimes life smacks me in the face and takes me out of my comfort zone. In those moments, I am reminded that in so many ways, and for so many reasons, I am so darn lucky.

I've got some (technically) expired tests from that era that I used on someone, and yes, clear as day, bright line almost immediately.

I have lots of photos of our trip to Czechia and Slovakia, but this is one of my favorites. Spiš Castle in Eastern Slovakia with thunderheads. Worth getting sprinkled on!

I love spin class and just hit 250 rides at my local studio this week. It took almost 3 years to get here, but that's ok!

Interesting decision to go with a competitive assay with a fungal polysaccharide target. I bet the sensitivity could get better if the assay format was switched to a sandwich and the same antibody used both on the conjugate and at the test line.

Though I'm happy to be back with my little family and my bed, I'm always sad when Adult Nerd Summer Camp has ended.

I am delighted to have helped Vanni rep Team Cali Burrito to sweep Legally Distinct RPG Family Feud at @rpglimitbreak.bsky.social ! Also pumped that 7 people other than me dubbed my beloved Xenogears the most confusing RPG!
