Looks like Best Buy is undergoing a transformation. They have more cool stuff like 3D printers, but they're also adding a bunch of stuff that's 🤮

A nice feature of where I live is there's a run/hike route that takes me up to a place with a zen labyrinth and a view of the bay.

A view from a hilltop that looks over San Francisco Bay. The San Mateo Bridge is visible in the distance. In the foreground on the hilltop is a bench and a zen labyrinth.

In Redwood City, the sunset before the fireworks show was just as good as the show itself #July4th #America250 #WeHadAGoodRun

San Carlos isn't big, but we lined several blocks on both sides of the street. #NoKings

There's a lot going on in the world of software development right now, but today I've mostly been feeling the need to do doodle. #art #illustration #inkdrawing

An ink drawing of a woman with a backpack crouched against a wall in a futuristic alleyway with her phone out. There are dialog bubbles:
Woman: "How do I get to the station from here?"
Phone: "I'm sorry, you have reached your token limit. To continue, please add more credits to your account."

California landscape looking quite scenic with help from the winter rain.

Green, rolling hills, blanketed with trees and dotted with houses

This was my holiday card design for the year, which ended up being another lino cut. Merry #christmas !

A Christmas card print with copper ink. The design is a close-up of a Christmas tree, centered on a light bulb that has a nativity scene in it, with ornaments and pine branches in the background.

Did a 50 mile ride out to San Gregorio Beach and back. It was a cold ride, but it was sunny at the beach!

Trying out colors and painting without relying on lines being part of the final composition. #art #digitalpainting #krita

A digital painting of a desert scene with a man wearing a green cloak and sitting down on the terrace of a structure made of sand-colored brick and columns. The colors imply the weather is overcast.

Doodled my brother's French bulldog while it was napping on my lap. Glad to know I still have some ability even when I don't exercise it as often as I should #art #drawing

Apparently a guy in San Carlos opened up an art gallery downtown filled with sculptures, dressed-up mannequins, and other oddities. #art #SanCarlos

A mannequin wearing a retro pilot's helmet and jacket; a shirt completely covered with, (or made of,) small knick-knacks like coins, shells, etc; a flowy mini-skirt; fishnet leggings; knee pads; and roller skates. A sign at the feet of the mannequin offers the title of the work: "Derby Girl"

Hearing about cars enabling already-installed features based on a subscription model reminds me of this comic I wrote over a decade ago. (Relevant article: www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62weyp4q… ) #comics #cars #tech #enshittification

A three-panel comic with a couple inside a car.

Driver: "It's 2060, and we don't have flying cars, but I'll take sports cars for the price of a microwave."
Car: "You have tried to access 5th gear. If you'd like access to 5th gear, and a host of other great features, press the 'Go Pro's button on your dashboard."
Driver: "Curse the inventor of freemium!"

I encountered this fascinating bug in DC the other day, which tried to hitch a ride on my bike rental. But after looking it up, it turns out it's a spotted lanternfly, which is an invasive species people are encouraged to squish on sight! This one got away, as I […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Gotta say, I'm a bit jealous of the number of cool hangout spots in Alexandria, VA. Not that there aren't any cool hangout spots where I live, but it's a different feeling. I guess if I really wanted that vibe close to where I am I should move to SF.

A dock extending out onto the water, at the end of which is a building with a sign, "Senator John Warner Maritime Heritage Center", and an open patio area with a sign, "Dockside Bar Open to Public".

Never thought I'd be judged by a targeted ad system to be likely to be running a mining operation, but now I'm wondering, maybe I should be running one?

A linkedin message which reads: "Hi Jeremiah, Are you looking for ways to embed sustainability into your mining operations?"
