Sometimes one of my cats sees a spider or a bug way up high, and I hold him up so he can bat it down and go chase it. He hates being held, but his love of batting at stuff outweighs that, so for that moment we're a team.

There are a lot of sensors in my basement that haven't been incorporated into anything ridiculous yet. That's the problem I'm really trying to solve 😅

Arduino has such a nice USB HID library that making the embroidery-hoop steering wheel for American Truck Simulator was pretty easy. I'm thinking I might want to make a bunch of custom input devices in 2021 - a bunch of fun, silly, or very-specific controllers.

It's the sort of project where it would be useful to have a definite deadline for each one (an implicit quality ceiling for prototypes, kind of), so maybe like 1 a month?

What are some good games with black protagonists or black developers? My Steam library is so white. It’s actually disturbing how I can only think of two games that have a PoC main character, and one that has a black main character.

Games with character creation are excluded unless they really put effort into character creation for black folks.

Looks like Amazon is retiring the Goodreads API, which just another step towards basically abandoning Goodreads and folding it into some other Amazon service I guess: https://joealcorn.co.uk/blog/2020/goodreads-retiring-API

My advice? Get off Goodreads while you still can (ie export your content) and move over to StoryGraph: https://beta.thestorygraph.com

A black-owned startup finally developing a viable alternative to Goodreads. Fuck yeah!

(Why not LibraryThings? Because, guess what.. it’s also owned by Amazon!)

Former Milwaukee Police Chief has been reinstated. He was removed from his position because of his handling of this summer’s protests in the city, and the obviously preemptive violent responses that the police had against peaceful protestors. Just like in most cities this summer, police in Milwaukee tear gassed & shot “non-lethal” rounds at people holding signs and marching.

Finally got my otf parser working for bitmap fonts that don't have one dimension that's a multiple of 8! In celebration, I've thrown an extravagant new pattern on http://stitch.website . If you want a pattern there (or want a custom one that's like one there already), let me know and I'll throw you a PDF gratis!
