Joel Hill @joelh.social · 26/08/2026Getting closer to looking like a cereal crop field? Still orange kinda, but I don’t think I hate it? My first rookie mistake was choosing such a large canvas. I think after this one I’m going to be buying small practice canvases, softer brushes, and some acrylic medium. #art #painting 120
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 25/08/2026I’m aiming for a blue sky meeting a wheat field but I may have painted ocean meeting sand. Also, acrylic needs to calm down and let me blend. Might need a medium? #painting #art 020
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 21/07/2026I am now almost certain I will finish this sometime this year. If anyone out there can see anything obviously wrong I am open to suggestions but also tired and getting sloppy. 120
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 09/07/2026I think this is what we call “scope creep”. Started out making an AR messaging app. Accidentally built most of a @rpg.actor client cause the sprites seemed fun. Filing all of this under “experimental” and it may never see the light of day. But it’s cool. 191
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 06/07/2026I have once again underestimated the complexity of a task. This is usually a coding problem, but every once in a while it’s a concrete and iron problem. 240
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 03/07/2026How insane would it be if there was an app out there that let you draw @rpg.actor items and assets? And then you could mint them and have them distributed to people? If there are good reasons not to do this someone should stop me because the editor is shaping up nicely… 151
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 24/06/2026Taking another crack at making my own little #atproto app. I hope you nerds like #DarkSouls! 100
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 23/04/2026Ever wonder what an "HD" Super Mario World would look like? Well it might look a little something like this* 😎 👇 *Early build, not representative of final product 010
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 13/04/2026I feel like the individual wrappers would hinder the speed at which I can consume them. Maybe it’s a health thing, like those “slow eating” dog food bowls. 000
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 12/04/2026The new Canadian Tire store is pretty cool, it has space in the center of the building that I can only assume is a combat arena. 120
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 15/02/2026Yeah, the Olympics are cool and all, but I’m in Martensville, SK watching Gushue take on McDonald. #curling 150
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 15/01/2026I showed my dad vibe coding and sent him some links. He’s cooking. 010
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 10/01/2026Is it too late to point out that the Claude Code logo is a butthole? 310
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 30/12/2025My receiver died in spectacular fashion at 5AM. A capacitor blew (I think) and caused the speakers to blast out crackling static and other awful noises at full volume. Needless to say the dog was not impressed and we were all confused and scared until we knew wtf was going on 🤣 130
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 18/11/2025A friend is moving and getting rid of stuff, they asked if we wanted some books. Of course I said “yes!” Friends, they dropped off what is close to every @stephenking.bsky.social book? There’s also some from Richard Bachman for some reason? Weird. 010
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 15/11/2025Back on my bullshit. This is not my work btw, just what I found after opening up a broken switch I bought for cheap due to a broken charge port. If I can get this working again I’ll feel like a god, haha. 020
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 14/11/2025Where are the #turntable nerds at? This a “Hitachi P/E 3044” I found at an online auction and I can’t find much about it. I found a forum post saying it’s “essentially” a Dual 1225? It looks like a solid Frankenstein record player sold in Canadian markets? 000
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 11/11/2025The look we get after putting up a snow fence to keep her out of the forbidden zone 🤣 000
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 11/11/2025In case anyone was wondering, yes, the large inflatable snowmen have buttholes. 040
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 11/11/2025Hey #linux friends I just need a little hint for when Grub won’t boot after decrypting master key. Pretend I’m just a silly little goose that needs a little help. 000
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 07/11/2025I thought they were going to pay him to leave? You know, to save the company? No? Okay, Cybertruck X on the way I’m sure. 010
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 30/10/2025Rebuilt this little guy and I gotta say it makes a decent pot of #coffee. 140
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 21/08/2025This would be helpful if I knew what my “mobile coverage” area was. 130
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 15/07/2025I picked this up today at a used book store on a whim because Le Guin rarely misses. 30 pages in and I’m really liking it! I’ve only read a few Sci-fi books from her, the fantasy setting is refreshing! Yay, I hope this pulls me out of my yearly reading slump 🙂 140

Joel Hill @joelh.social · 19/04/202533% success rate on repairing broken Nintendo Switches! I might be able to bring that to 66% today. 120
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 13/04/2025Bumped the TV while I was vacuuming which appears to have been an expensive mistake. 370
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 23/03/2025“The addition of 7-Up gives milk a favor appeal that especially pleases children” 164
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 06/03/2025Okay, parked at #usask and the cops are pouring in. Saw one with an assault rifle. Wtf is going on? 120
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 02/01/2025Back to making silly mistakes with electronics. Got this for cheap on eBay, wouldn’t power on. After looking inside it clearly had water damage. I don’t know what to do about that, but it MIGHT be something I can fix. Well will see! #ConsoleRepair 110
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 27/12/2024I just need someone to tell me this puzzle is possible without bending the metal. 360
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 05/12/2024This is very serious. I’ve never seen anyone else wearing something like it in public, a one of a kind garment. Purchased at a music festival in 2021. 141
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 18/11/2024Sutherland is like one of those little parasites that replaces the tongue of a fish. Like, yeah it’s technically a part Saskatoon but it’s also clearly grafted on and wasn’t a part of the original plan. 050
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 16/11/2024Not actually a very good photo, but this was taken on a hacked Cannon PowerShot back when I was experimenting with long exposure settings and manual HDR processing. 040
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 31/10/2024Nintendo Music is a thing now so if you see me walking around with headphones this is what I’m listening too: 020
Joel Hill @joelh.social · 26/10/2024I have a good feeling about this batch. This is the one. #GingerBeer 282
