iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's counter intuitive but for VR most of my far sighted friends were fine but near sighted it's often blurry.

Damnit I am going to get one I guess. Anybody want an Index? The Index is absolutely phenomenal for sim racing, I want to dig for a full assessment from another sim racer about perceivable lag, the Index at 120/144 felt damn near perfect and essentially lag free.

I'll also say they made a ton of changes for VisionOS27 and I never tried the M2 and went right to the M5... it's quite nice. I think they made a mistake launching it with the M2.

AVP is absolutely too expensive and too compromised of a form factor for mass adoption, and is likely the biggest fumble Apple ever made as far as shareholder value, but I want to hug everybody responsible for those billions in losses they took because god damn it's good as a photo/video editor.

Make an appointment to try a Vision Pro please lol, want your opinion on its screens vs the Frame's. I will say I've been demoing the VP to people and every time their jaws are on the floor. I think of it as a dev kit for the future of computing, they absolutely nailed the interface/interactions.

Just got back from Iceland. Propping myself up with delusion. No job after my most expensive vacation ever. Please buy prints when I finally get around to posting them lol.

There's been a standard of open hostility from the center my entire life.

On my last week of employment at this job that was killing me, after the most incredible vacation of my life. Listening to the lame bullshit they are dealing with is like, calming. I ain't gotta hear this ever again, very soon. Feels amazing.

Iceland truly has been so wonderful. Drove up the wildest road I've ever driven to get to this incredible pool on the edge of the world.

Geothermally heated swimming pull on the edge of the world. Full moon shining down.

Sneak peak from another spot earlier in the day.

Can't even describe how cool this was. Haven't had time to even check the thousands of pics I shot here. #Puffins

^My friend looking like a porter unintentionally. The big trucks hauling ass. The giant geothermal plant on the Westman Islands.

It's honestly amazing having played Death Stranding to get a window into @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp 's mind as he thought up this game. The sound and feel of trudging up volcanic ash. Nothing being immune to rust and decay. The plants and landscapes and architecture. Beautiful.

I have very few followers and posting here feels like throwing things into a void but I want to share some Iceland pics anyway.

I have no idea what you are talking about this looks incredibly deliberate and beautiful.

The comments for this on insta were very funny. All people going "I went looking to try to find out what kind of avantgarde drag king shit this is and apparently it's from some weird computer game"

Me talking to myself not you: You know you could honestly afford to lower your standards. I know you won't but I'm just saying it'd be okay to.

Thank god I made it to the carpet before throwing up.

These soundbites lose more votes than you realize. Aiming entirely at conservative swing voters has huge implications. Whole generation growing up drastically worse off than the generations before it, watching the opposition party to Trump court conservatives not them.

That 6.5x lens while it was hovering in the back of the theater was looking like I shot it on one of these. Everybody I showed the screen to had their jaws drop.

Picked up a Mavic 4 Pro before the tariffs make it even more expensive. Finally flew it yesterday, friend was doing a rehearsal for a jazz concert thing and said I should test it out in the theater. I think it might be the best video camera I own?

Howlin’ Fantods @howlin.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Love that I'm leaving to drive around Iceland in a few days.

Howlin’ Fantods @howlin.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

So uh, that panorama phase I went through was worth it. Feels goddamn transcendental, in the headset there's depth and they freaking nailed it somehow. Unreal. #visionpro #beta

The "centrist" think tank Third Way is looking to pay someone between $140,000 and $150,000 to spend their days trying to dig up dirt on DSA members. They're trying to sell this gig as "anti-extremism" work, which I find completely disgusting.

from job listing:

As the Director of Anti-Extremism, a typical day might include…

Assembling and updating a database of the DSA’s most extreme ideas and statements and a repository of voting records, affiliations, and issue positions to make available to allies and partners;
Leading public opinion research to identify and test the contrasts that move base voters away from these extreme candidates;
Overseeing the development of memos, talking points, rapid response materials, and other products that make the case against these extreme forces in American politics;
Promoting and marketing our research and materials to ensure they reach decisionmakers quickly, repeatedly, and at scale through a coordinated distribution infrastructure;
Recruiting and arming a group of young, diverse spokespeople to fight the DSA from a center-left perspective and assembling a broad coalition of organizational partners to make the case against extremism;
Running an earned media program to create a drumbeat of our message in op-eds, television appearances, podcasts, and traditional and digital media engagement.

And even then it's a complete joke to think about because big picture the system is so punishingly expensive it's nuts. Some people work for companies that cover healthcare entirely and it just hides the fact that... that's a LOT of money that'd be going to their paycheck instead.

Muzz - "Red Western Sky" (Official Music Video)

I used to take pictures up here at night & it was the creepiest goddamn place. There's a rock gym under it so you hear these muffled yells through the concrete and are surrounded by wax figures and clowns. Tons of cool ass unrestored cars. Check it out if you're near Philly. youtu.be/OsRSwQoOA68

Told work I'm going freelance. I feel like an entirely different person.

Met him and Muzz right as they were about to shoot a music video at my old (ridiculous) job. I was devastated I couldn't tag along, had to deal with some dumb crisis and couldn't watch them film that wild video.
