Love this... (artist: Janis Goodman)

Image shows a drawing by artist Janis Goodman and it shows a huge computer that is plugged into 4 electrical sockets and is guzzling water via a hose attached to 2 taps. There is a woman sat nearby. This drawing is titled "The Data Centre Who Came To Tea"

I just came across the @japan-cambot.bsky.social account, which posts footage from four random public webcams around Japan every hour. On top of being a nice change of pace to have stuff like this show up on the feed, there is some potential art reference material there too!

40 years since my family's drying washing was forever immortalised on a shiny disk for all to see!

Screengrab from a modern emulator running the Domesday software, showing a suburban view with allotments in the foreground, and terraced houses and gardens, captioned "Worcester, Arboretum area".

You can just about see the laundry hanging in the back garden of my childhood home.

The first volume of this was wonderful, and I have no doubt the second will be too - backed straight away (and already zoomed past it's meagre target!)

It was dark. So dark that my senses that don't rely on vision also stopped working. My nose got lost behind the sofa. I couldn't remember where my fingers. My tastebuds were still in London, and I hated that sentence. Worst of all I couldn't see my eyes, it was so damn dark.

This is blowing up with creative, interesting games. If you see this, please take a moment to look through and wishlist any that pop for you. Finding an audience is hard at the best of times, but weirdos and freaks like us need you more than ever. Go look at these games (And also Vampirium: 1997)

Heads up! We’re about to make some shifts to Playdate’s production — no, none to Playdate itself — which means a factory pause. Soon, Playdate will be temporarily "sold out”. Once we're back up, more stock will start to arrive later this year. But if you want a Playdate soon… now's the time to buy!

So, in my little #playdate game Triston, when you complete a level, it has a little throwaway feature where it shows you the name of the place you've helped discover. #gamedev #indiegames

A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates. scim.ag/4vs08dC

I know, I know... AI datacenters sucking up every bit of RAM, GPUs, HDDs (and water) is pretty bad. But on the other hand, future AAA games might look cool like this, instead of chasing this endless, unsustainable bit of photorealism.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

The image shows the hourglass shape of the length of the day and night over the 365 days in 2025. Diagonal bands indicate when the Moon was up in the night sky.
