I live in Boston with my kids. I help make Android nice. I don't speak for my employer. Visuals not final.

when I was in grad school, I snagged a 4050N that my CS dept was throwing out. that thing was absolutely unstoppable for over a decade afterward. I should have put it in the acknowledgments section of my dissertation

2008 photo of a wire rack holding an HP LaserJet 4050N, a lampshade iMac G4, and a lot of other junk. Taken as part of a hasty attempt to document the contents of our apartment before evacuating ahead of Hurricane Ike.

started playing PEAK by @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social and all I can think about is the genius of the everything-meter

screenshot of the stamina meter from the game PEAK. it is a horizontal bar, currently divided into four sub-sections: the amount available to you as stamina (green), and the amount that has been subtracted for other temporary game conditions, in this case encumbrance (red), hunger (yellow), and poison (purple).

this "moon" is an absolute unit! I was under its gravitational pull from the moment the simulation started

Another screenshot of the #Android14 easter egg. The spaceship is landed on a rather large moon named Redvelvetcake Novis-O.4338 4, which really rolls off the tongue.

Too bad the star system for #android14 launch day only has one planet.

Screenshot of the Android 14 easter egg, which is a simple vector-graphics spaceflight simulator. The vaguely androidesque spacecraft has landed on the sole planet in today's star system: Eclair Psi 1, a pungent moonlet with a reticulated atmosphere, corduroy fauna, and low-poly flora.
