Getting pretty good at slingshots. 55% hit rate at 9.7m. Managed to cut this can in half in 57 hits.

Makeshift target box with 3 hanging targets, hanging on a tree with moss on it. Middle target is a 12 oz can cut in half from clay ammo hits from a slingshot.

Open notebook with a Snipersling slingshot on left page and record of hits and misses on the right page. Mechanical pencil resting in the middle.

I vibe coded a collaborative jukebox app this weekend and tested it out with the wife and kids. I learned quickly that I have to add stronger admin controls.

Started adding art, enlisting my kids to help me create different sprites. It’s amazing how much basic sprites change the feel of the game.

Reading One Piece for the first time, and I’m at the part where the crew meets Chopper, and the perfect Christmas song starts playing. 🏴‍☠️🎄

One Piece book opened where Chopper is first introduced, held in front of a Christmas tree.

@figma.com Why can't you just give us this? Why do you make us detach styles just to see a hex code or stroke width?!

This parking garage is full of lies!

A “compact” parking spot that is obviously the same size as the “regular” parking spot in front of it.

Had to look him up to make sure it’s not a bit. Still not sure about that.

Impulsively bought one of these retro handhelds one night, thinking it would just end up collecting dust. But I discovered the Pico-8 console, and I’m hooked! Having a blast trying random games in the library. Shout out to Guncho, Picocraft, Marble Merger, and Alpine Alpaca!

The only twitter ad I’ve ever liked is Chiitan giving another mascot a wicked armbar on a soccer field.

Does this button even do anything? I keep seeing the same dumb FB-style memes no matter how many times I click on it. Feels like I'm just clicking into the ether.

We really need to reset expectations for Mike Macdonald and the Seahawks. He's doing a great job for being a young first-time HC. The halftime adjustments the defense has been making all season is the biggest positive sign for me.
