New Orleans was a time, tho.

Ace Combat 8 is basically playable Anime Top Gun and it's pretty dope!

An F/A 18 jet in flight between cloud layers with the sun setting, a map to the left and a character portrait to the upper right as they're have whole-ass convos in real time about what's going on.

A character passes the player a flight helmet with a wing on the side. They say to you: "Right, from now on, you'll be the greatest ace pilot this war will ever know."

I DID IT. This half was tougher than the last one. More humidity, and 8 miles in the skies opened up and it began pouring rain. That part was actually the best tho, I welcomed the rain and was deliriously playing "Call Me Maybe" on repeat. What's next? I'm done with running, I'm going to my BED.

Jazz, a smiling Black man, stanced up post-race with a towel draped over his neck. There are a lot of people around.

Jazz holds up the race medal, which shows 13.1 m, the name and date of the race (DC Half) on a reddish background showing the Washington Monument.

Tonight's long run was an odyssey. Meandered around NE, water pack on my back sloshing, ducking downed trees from yesterday's storm. At 6.48 miles I ran into a friend on the trail, training for the same half (16 DAYS TO GO), and we ran 2 fast miles together, tho my legs were like BRO WYD!!!

Jazz's Runna stats: 10.01 miles at 12:07/mi in 2:01:22.

Beautiful skies tonight tho. NE DC.

On a residential street in Brookland in Northeast DC, we see several houses to the left, cars on the street to the right, and an orange-gray sky.

Looking out over Florida Avenue, NE, where it meets the connection with New York Avenue. We see several cars at a light in the mid-ground, expansive sky in the background, a large residential apartment building to the right, and other buildings in the background.

A dramatic and beautiful sky over some trees and the dividing roofline of a building.

Saw this on the BW Parkway some time ago and it sums up how I feel about drivers in the DC area and how they feel about me and everyone else

Jazz. @jl3001.blacksky.app · 29/08/2026

And I did! First long run in a while. Had 5 miles to hold at 9:45/mi which was FINE, and not as diabolical as the last training block where I did 8:55 for 5 miles of a 10 miler. Once I crossed that 5 mi rubicon I had Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" on repeat for like three miles and that saved me.

Jazz's running stats from Runna. 8.55 miles at 11:04/mi in 1:34:44. The map shows I ran down from NE DC, crossed into NW via Mount Vernon, then up via 14th Street, then back through Howard.

I don't have much, but my parents have a giant bookcase of DVDs, VHSs, and CDs, and cassettes going back 30+ years. I see this whenever I go visit them. They don't even have the hardware anymore to play these.

Heading home earlier this evening. NE DC

The sun is low in the sky, which is a pale orange-red as we see a street under a tunnel. A Metrobus is approaching on the road with several cars in traffic behind it. To the left are a throng of people walking on the sidewalk. A traffic sign obscures the lower left side of the image.

20 hours in FH6 and finally went up the mountain to the ski resort and you can just fly supercars down snowy slopes and just man. The best car toybox ever.

A 1999 Toyota Altezza with blacked out rims and window decals flying through a tunnel, lights on.

A 1989 Toyota MR2 on a coast side road at the crack of dawn. The car is in silhouette, aside from the lights, birds circle above, and the mountains go down to the ocean.

Whipping a BMW M1 around a mountain pass while listening to Yellow Magic Orchestra? Yeah, I'm going to be playing FH6 for a *WHILE,* buddy. Already going for the high score in filling up my hard drive with car pics

Dropped by the drum circle in Malcolm X Park and the fountain is working for the first time in years and everyone is out and man, I love DC so much. The administration can't stop us.

Scores of people at the drum circle, playing drums and music under trees in the park.

Looking down from the upper level to the lower level of the park, with tons of people chilling on the steps by the water cascade.

A whole lotta people sitting along the cascading waterfall in Malcolm X Park in NW DC.

Checked out some cool keyboards today tho

Several keyboards of different colors, sizes, and configurations on a desk, with differing key caps and decorations, like a tiny knife, on the desk too. There are several people around the desk.

A keyboard with a 1500 gram actuation force on a table. It is seriously hard to press keys on this thing. There are stickers and graffiti on it, and a sign daring you to draw or type on it.

A keyboard with an enter key that says That's All Folks! And key caps of cartoonish grotesque figures, including Slimer from Ghostbusters.

An Alice-style keyboard on a desk. Clean with a smoky polycarbonate case and custom key caps on the left side.
