And on Monday, I went on a tour of the Colorado State Capitol building. The guided tour includes access to the dome, so I went on that. I didn't know that the architect of the Texas State Capitol is also the architect of the Colorado State Capitol (and […] [Original post on furry.engineer]

There was a ham radio panel on Sunday, hosted by the same guy who hosted one at TFF earlier this year. He had a setup for sending and receiving SSTV, which he demoed in the hotel panel room. Then we all went out to Civic Center Park, near the hotel, to set up […] [Original post on furry.engineer]

A photo of several people (some wearing fursuits, some wearing tails) standing around an antenna staked into a grassy patch of ground. In the background is a building with "Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building" written on it. The antenna is about 5 meters tall, and at the base of the antenna are long orange strips laid on the ground in an "X" shape. The antenna is placed at the intersection of the X. A man is holding some device that's connected to the antenna with a pink cable.

Saturday and Sunday were mostly spent at the con. Zaar and I did go to one of the two furry cafes in Denver though. Sacred Beans had a furry social, so we went to check it out. Neat place, it's also a furry art gallery with art on the walls for sale. The […] [Original post on furry.engineer]

Back to the con after dinner, went to the dance again. Denfur has quite the light show at the dance :) Apparently there's a furry who's a professional laser show designer or something like that, and he did the lasers for the dances. The con said that the […] [Original post on furry.engineer]

Zaar lived in Denver a couple years ago, and he said we needed to go to Casa Bonita. I had never heard of the place before, but it's a Mexican restaurant that's more known for its entertainment than its food. It's in a strip mall, but it has multiple levels […] [Original post on furry.engineer]

Currently visiting the Mount Fuji area, and took the cable car up to Tenjoyama Park. While I've seen pictures of Mount Fuji, it's much more impressive when seen life-sized and in person. There's some folktale about a tanuki and a rabbit associated with […] [Original post on furry.engineer]

A photo of a plastic sculpture depicting a cartoony anthropomorphic tanuki in front of an anthropomorphic rabbit, both approximately 1 meter tall (including the rabbit's ears). The tanuki has a happy expression, although the bundle of wood he's carrying on his back is on fire. The rabbit is holding two pieces of flint. In the background of the photo is Mount Fuji.

A photo of a sign. At the top is the heading ②「おばあさんをころすタヌキ」. Below that is a cartoon-style drawing in silhouette of a lady sitting on the floor, leaning back away from a tanuki wielding a large mallet. Below that is the text:

おじいさんはおばあさんにタヌキじるをこしらえてくれるようたのむと、またはたけへでかけました。ところがタヌキはおばあさんをだましてころし、ばばあじるをつくりました。タヌキはおばあさんにばけておじいさんのかえりをまちました。

Neat, FurryTel has a table at #TFF with some old phones, switching equipment, and terminals/computers. Calls between the phones wasn't working when I stopped by, but there's a rotary phone connected to an electromechanical switch and you can watch the rotors step as you dial.
