iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Working for yourself is kind of an odd thing because things you were doing before for free are now things you do as part of your job.

This is literally a photograph of me.

A black-and-white cartoon titled **“Bum-Rush Hour.”** It shows a chaotic traffic scene with several vehicles and a cyclist.

In the center, a small car labeled **“Innocent Normal People Who Drive Cars”** is being squeezed between traffic. Inside, a frightened driver and passenger scream as a bicycle wheel and handlebars intrude near the car. A speech bubble says, **“Th-that bike! Squeezing us in! Not enough room in lane… AIIEEE!!”**

On the left, a cyclist wearing a helmet rides aggressively alongside the car. Their shirt says **“Two-Wheeled Terrors,”** and they shout, **“Dad! Look out!”** and **“Ring ring!”** Another nearby bubble reads **“Heh, heh, heh!”**

On the right, another driver leans out of a car, shouting **“HONK!”** A jagged sound effect near the vehicle says **“SCREECH!”** At the bottom right, a small angry-looking pedestrian or commuter appears beside the caption **“Kami-commuter-kaze.”** The overall scene portrays rush-hour traffic as wildly dangerous and overcrowded, humorously pitting cyclists against car drivers.

I'm really glad that vertical tabs have become popular on web browsers. Chromium was the last holdout on my system.

I like the idea of giving plants names because that feels like an acknowledgement that they are alive.

Someone's bot got out of control and I received 600 spammy ransomware emails in the last three days. Getting spammy shit not that unusual, but getting 600 all at once is kinda wild.

A view inside my inbox with a bunch of emails to me all with the same exact description "YOU GOT RECORDED!"

New $10k air conditioning unit lived almost 24 hours before breaking down. Was not able to contact the HVAC company today so we might have to sweat it out till Monday... 🥵

Today we are finally getting our central air conditioner fixed. 😈 It's been broken for 15+ years.

[Spicy Tech Hot Take] All you need is USB-C on devices these days. If it's PD and USB4 compatible you can connect anything to it. Dongles are not terribe. I can use the same dongles on ALL my devices. All my mics and headphones work over USB (or Bluetooth) and it's flawless.

I accept that you can't put the genie back in the bottle and vibecoding is now part of the process. Whatever... Personally, the code I write myself I understand better than the snippets of AI generated code. (When I do use AI, I use it to help me understand why the code works or does not work.) […]

When the internet goes out the first thing your ISP wants to do is send your email about it. How am I supposed to read the email, Spectrum? I have no internet!

Today in LA it rained but was uncomfortably swampy. Thursday will be a muggy 101° F day. This is clearly weird but very typically Los Angeles weather. Thx i hate it...

It's amazing how many things work better after you add pipewire-jack to them before they load. Even #flatpak applications that are supposed to be #pipewire enabled still work better if I frontload them with pw-jack. This was true for me with #Ardour and the new #Audacity4.

Just a little backbeat and bass I programmed in #Ardour tonight. Not sure if it's gonna become anything. Just might be for fun.

It's not earth shattering, but I'm genuinely surprised at the quality I'm getting from my onboard Iris Xe graphics. I'm playing some light 1080p games in Medium. That's quite a jump from when I could only play 720p in low quality.

With the heat being as brutal as it is this week, I'll probably spend most of my time indoors. For those affected, do your best to stay cool. I'm very lucky that I got the solar panels when I did. They say rolling blackouts are likely. Be careful, folks.

[Mental health, mostly good] I have a severe phobia of heights, or some times just what I feel is high, and I had a full blown panic attack crossing a bridge in Universal City tonight. Was not the worst I've ever had, but it was a REAL bad one. My new girl was so supportive. She held my hand […]

I have solar panels. It's easy for me to forget how cool it is that the sun cooks my food and propels my e-bike. My lights, my air conditioning, my home server, and my main laptop are all powered by the sun. Somehow I lucked out, and I got the solar panels […] [Original post on mastodon.sdf.org]

We weren't able to get a traditional air fryer because my family was worried about how some of the non-stick coatings could negatively affect the health of our birds. But we did get an air fryer with a glass base. Holy hell, it's been a game changer!
