Womp womp Guess it wasn't priced high enough

You are on the waitlist for Steam Frame 1TB Kit

When we did the one-time randomization of the list, your place in line ended up beyond the number of Steam Frames currently available for reservation.

As we work our way through the reservation queue, some customers may cancel their reservations. If that happens, you may be moved into the reservation queue, and you'll be notified via email that you have a reservation after all.

Good news: I survived Dragon Con! Bad news: I did NOT survive a rainy Saturday in Athens, GA on alumni marching band day. Trust me, you do not want to listen to my voice for an hour tonight so I will not be on the air. Tune in to @orangeloungeradio.com at their usual time for your geek discussion!

Got to host a panel with some amazing actors from Star Trek Enterprise today at Dragon Con! Lots of love from the actors for the show, franchise, and fans. Dominic's lyrics to the theme song don't disappoint... Thanks to @ashsaidhi.bsky.social for the pic from the front row!

Got to moderate a panel for my favorite TV show of all time today at Dragon Con - Babylon 5! They had so many great stories to tell. I got to tell Bruce that we were birthday buddies while backstage. They all love the show and love talking about it. Speedrun Showcase is up next for me!

So this one was a doozy. I had a Stargate SG-1 panel at Dragon Con today. It wasn't my best performance but there was a lot of laughter and cheers from the crowd so I'm probably being more harsh on myself than I should be. I learn something new with every repetition of this gig. Back at it tomorrow

Wife helped me not crash out over a kids toy (look y'all it's been one of those weeks). Here's what happened. These steps back in the 400s were unclear unless you had a magnifying glass. I realized my mistake on step 610. This is built horizontally so we had to undo everything behind it.

Step 416 - notice the two stud brick on the left. I assumed the studs went out in the back but if you see tiny little bumps that indicates they go to the left

Step 420 with the same block with the same little bumps that you can barely see

Closeup of my last shot with an arrow pointing to four studs going inward. They should be on top.

Step 610 when I finally saw the mistake - the glass piece can't go in when studs are jutting out.

My cats are almost two years old now and every once in a while they snuggle in one part of a cat tree where they bonded as kittens. They (barely) fit so they sits.

6 minutes additional time at a minimum, score 2-1 England

England finally scored and we have a "full house" (although there are two seats in front of me empty but it's possible they're standing on the bridge or at a bar)

Score tied 1-1, attendance is 68,239 which is consistent with other "full house" attendance numbers for Atlanta Stadium
