You can tell how intense of a Prusa upgrade you’re in for based on how big the bag of gummy bears is. 🫣

An open cardboard box with some 3D printer upgrade components inside. There is a large bag of gummy bears included. A hand holds a small bag of gummy bears for comparison.

Pretty sure this is where my career is going in not too many more years. I have both cynical takes and optimistic takes. Both sets are largely memes, ngl. #millennial #lifeismemes #software #ai #llm

The "no X only Y" meme dog asks "Make new software?" When the hand reaches for the ball in the dog's mouth, it growls and says "NO CODE!!" Then, "Only architect!!"

This random day-off tax prep is made possible by contributions from Tatsuro Yamashita…

A (new!) record player playing Tatsuro Yamashita’s album “Pocket Music”, featuring a soft blue background and two cute clay images of a boy and girl looking at some pastel art on a wall behind them.

What, me? Oh, nothing, just kitting out my fish shell to greet me with a pelican. #pelican #fish #shell ...I feel like these tags might be misleading somehow.

Who needs AI when your cat is perfectly willing to do your work for you?

Photo of my cat sitting a my keyboard like a person, looking at the screen. He’s a brown-and white tabby, long-haired (Siberian).

Yoshi seems more okay with My Neighbor Totoro. Seen here demonstrating why I JUST HAD to buy a newer turntable with a cover. Nevermind that it’s also a nicer one. #vinyl #cats #totoro #music

A brown and black long hair tabby cat sitting on a (now covered) record player, looking over his shoulder. A teal, translucent record plays. In the background is the folder with a watercolor of the cat is — it is the vinyl album for the Japanese version of “My Neighbor Totoro”

Yoshi isn’t sure how he feels about Pink Floyd, but it’s important for him to exposed to the greats. #vinyl #music #cat #raisingthenextgeneration

Vertical photo. Close up behind a brown-and-black tabby cat’s head. The cat is looking away from the camera at a turntable, behind which is the sleeve for Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon”.

Trying to balance out being too modern by listening to Styx; but they come along with a LASER ETCHED vinyl. Art microscopically engraved on the surface. What magic is this?! #vinyl #music #technology #lasers

A vinyl record on a turntable, showing rainbow reflections more characteristic of CDs than vinyl records. Behind the turntable is the slip folder for Styx”s album “Paradise” showing an ornate illustrated old-timey theater entrance, fitted with the latest in electric light technology.

Close-up of a laser-etched vinyl record revealing visible swirl patterns along the edge, reflecting prism rainbows like a CD. Vinyl records don’t usually do this. Holy cow.

Winding down the week with Tatsuro Yamashita. #vinyl #japan #citypop? #tgif

A turntable with a record playing, slightly out of focus. Behind it is the cover for Tatsuro Yamashita’s “For You” album—a flat royal blue sky featuring a cartoony, tropical located radio broadcast station. There are two Kurtzgesagt figurines propped up on something behind the record folder.

Trying to wrap up my adulting for this week; like my friend Celeste, nearing the summit of their journey. #vinyl #adulting #indiegames #music

This evening’s slog through responsibility is brought to you by Final Fantasy VII Remake and Cloud Strife. #vinyl #ff7 #gamemusic

A turntable playing a record showing Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7 looking up at a mako reactor. The machine-looking case is propped up against the wall behind the turntable.

This evening’s melancholy is brought to you by Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. #vinyl #japanese #progrock

An elevated view of a turntable playing a record. Behind is the slip case for the record. It’s Emerson, Lake & Palmer; “Poctures at an Exhibition”. There is a band on the slip case that says “Emerson, Lake & Palmer” in Japanese.

I finally discovered some of those toxic caterpillars I’ve heard so much about here in Japan. I just got a small grazing, but definitely not recommended in general.

I’m not putting this thing back where it belongs until my NVMe mounting screws arrive. I’m tired of re-opening it to do physical changes. I just want to work, and my job is programming, not hardware maintenance. 😞

So we splurged to check off the “fly first class” bucket list, and I noticed that they have shoulder harnesses for the first class seats. I mean, if first class passengers are important enough for shoulder harnesses, why don’t… the… rest of the passengers…? 😬
