I’m playing around with a new spectra6 e-paper panel and this one is FUN. It’s 7” but 1200x1600px - a much higher DPI than the normal spectra panels of this size. On the normal 480x800px panels I can see the rough dither pixelation - I really can’t see that on these.

To the extent that Millennials do this to their own homes, it’s because every time we’re financially stable enough to acquire an asset we have to make sure it remains in readily sellable condition in case the economy crashes.

This bit from the memo is sending me
Since 2018, we have aggressively expanded our studio portfolio while the number of games created each month across the industry now outpaces the last ten years combined. We now find ourselves competing not only with the largest publishers, but also with smaller independent studios. It is neither possible nor desirable to own every great independent studio. We have also learned that we are not the best home for every type of studio; in a typical year, we lost 64 cents for every dollar we invested. As we reset XBOX, we will help independent creators succeed by providing open development tools and audiences to realize their vision.

Got a blog up for one of my cleanest epaper projects at the moment. I use the @seeedstudio.com reTerminal E1003 epaper device with @esphome.io to make a digital photo frame that looks indistinguishable from a real black and white photo.
An IKEA picture frame that has been modified to hold a Seeed Studio  reTerminal E1003 epaper screen. The screen shows an analog black and white photo of a woman standing in front of a white van that is covered in graffiti. This photo was taken in Berlin. The picture frame is sitting on a wooden media center, alongside other objects that sit on such furniture.

The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.
Photo of three men standing on top of rocky terrain. One is wearing a blue zip-up jacket with a blue chambray shirt and tan chinos. One is wearing a green-black checkered jacket with red chamois shirt, white pants, and cowboy hat. The other is wearing a blue parka with with blue jeans. Two photos. In the first, three men are wearing bomber jackets with blue or white jeans. In the second image, one man is wearing an off white (possibly chamois?) shirt with blue jeans. Another is wearing a blue denim trucker with blue jeans. A third is wearing a blue quilted parka. Two photos of groups of men. They are wearing Nordic sweaters, olive bomber jackets, flight suits, black-green checkered jackets, cowboy hats, beanies, and jeans. Two photos. In one, there's a man wearing a brown tweed with a checked shirt. In the other photo, men are wearing bomber jackets and high-waisted cotton pants.

If you’ve ever looked at that picture and thought, “I wish I had those socks!”, then this is the pattern for you! This is a cuff down traveling stitch cable sock pattern, with a standard heel flap construction and charted design. The pattern includes instructions for four sizes, both with and without calf shaping. The sock shown on Wikipedia is the medium size with no calf shaping.
