I'm off to #NecronomiCon this week for 1st time. Excited for panels, HPL short films, dancing at the Eldritch Ball, play some games
I'm running my fave #cthulhu short Legs by Jim Philips, and have other faves (The Hitchhiker, Organism 46b by Ryan & Lloyd) on standby
Say hi!
Project #4 2024: finished off 5 display units, 2 tables and 7 "feet" (boxes) for Sharon's market this weekend. Packed in the van and on the road! If you are near #Frechen (Cologne area) #ceramics market this weekend, come find us! Pictures of the setup to come tomorrow
Project #3 2024: display unit 2 for pottery. Sharon is gearing up for larger #ceramics markets. My first time using a nail gun!
Not quite finished: Some shelves are crooked, will add some black paint accents, and build some stable feet. Then build 2-3 more.
To solve for the next 3:
-LOTS of splintering.
-My bad work space makes cabinetry uneven.
-I want to use lap joints (cross cuts so they slide together) so it can be broken down for transport, but that's hard with my tools.
-I'm worried about stability, might add crossbeams

Project #2, 2024: making a display unit for pottery. Sharon is going to bigger ceramics markets and needs better stands
She wanted an organic feel, and needs to pack flat for transport while still being fast assembly. Figuring out the right fastening hardware was the hard part
I'm pretty happy with it. Not shown: lots of sawdust, occasional frustration. Next project: a wall of tiny nooks for individual mugs and bowls... I need to read up on proper furniture joins & hardware
I’m speaking at #GoogleCloudNext this year 🥹💻 it’s such a big deal for me and my career as I’m coming up on my 4 year mark.
My talk is explores how we are embedding diversity as a foundational principle shaping infrastructure, data, structures, and systems.
Game #1 2024: after #awwgf convention, my gaming energy is inspired, and #godsteeth#deltagreen finally arrives!
I have been dreading and looking forward to this day since I heard @HebanonGCal run it on RPPR ... 8 years ago? Now... must buy Hello Kitty folders for my players
Project #7 2023: #motorcycle maintenance course at public workspace. Super educational, scary and fun. Tore apart my motorcycle with the guardrails of a good coach/teacher.
Had always been scared to remove fuel tank, turned out to be easy! Day 1: air filter, spark plugs, more
Oh no, why is the only Crit I roll in 9 sessions of #13thAge against one of my fellow heroes?

My #APIDays Helsinki session is now live on Youtube: "#APISecurity in the era of #GenerativeAI"
I'd love to hear from you: Are you seeing any of these "Good / Oops / Bad" bots live in the wild? Feedback or crazy ideas to extend my talk with live demos?

You know those stress dreams that go on forever? I just had the exact opposite. A long dream of sparkling conversation, good food cooked w friends, and laughter.
What a rare and delightful way to wake up.
Photo: my grocery loot from biz trip to Paris, perhaps sparks this dream
Inspired by visit from my buddy Dusty, made it to the American Book Center to restock & restart my reading habit.
First one polished off in 3 sittings: @UrsulaV's "What Moves The Dead" - never a dull sentence
Next up... Can't resist @JasonKPargin 's next horror romp!
Tonight we record the *season finale* of our #13thAge game. Catch up on the last episode before we record and publish the finale!
