John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 13/09/2026In retrospect, leaving this out in the open in the garage, devoid of context, would warrant the *exact* reaction my wife just had. (It's a food-safe wood finish I made yesterday by melting together a blend of beeswax and tung oil) 030
John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Keep your eyes on this one. Only got to briefly touch on it, but instantly knew it was gonna be something special. Metronomik poured a ton of heart into this. 050

John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 19/08/2026So, thanks to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lala, I've been stuck on Maui since Sunday. I fully acknowledge there are worse places to be stuck, but being forced to stay 3 extra days *anywhere* you weren't planning to really sucks. Anyways, here's a nice photo I took of the beach the other night. 0100
John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Fun day today: Boarded flight; delayed due to mechanical issue; de-planed; got told replacement part was in route; stayed around airport for an extra 6 hours; get told repair failed and flight cancelled; then told they can't rebook anything for 2 days because of the tropical storm. Fun! 100
John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Saw some pumpkin spice nonsense in the store earlier today, so I have to make this post. It keeps happening earlier and earlier each year. 030
John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 29/07/2026This is the most Wesley Willis-coded headline to the point where I'm angry the article didn't end with "rock over London; rock on Chicago. Wheaties: breakfast of champions" 040
John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Liv Tyler. Like...not even close. And though the answer is a little awkward because she is already incredibly good looking on screen, the delta between screen and real life was insane. This was in a restaurant in NYC before the first LotR, but I s2g she actually glowed. 010
John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Ah, beans. I did the thing where I forgot I pre-ordered something until I got the shipping notification. Well, at least it's cool. Also my pre-order included a second Zimmerman so it can be accurate too my cheese build I used for most of the game, lol 140
John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 22/07/2026My table saw decided it was going to give up the ghost today. Shame, since I had it for a long time and also with an *abundance* of free time, I'd been making good headway on completing projects. But also it was a janky piece of shit and I will not miss it. Just an inopportune time for it to break. 130

John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 18/07/2026It's rare when you find a game that's laser targeted to you, but here we are. It finally answers the question "what if there was a game that accurately reflected how insane AFL is as a sport?" Now to figure how to sort out a proper meat pie for launch day. 110

John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 07/07/2026There's no other outcome for this game that would've been acceptable. Heartbreaking for the players, but what a shameful disgrace for a "leader" to put a tiny, greasy, cheeto-colored thumb on the scales to tip it in the USMNT's favor. 010
John Hardin @johnhardin.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Like, there's gonna be a fight during this match, right? MEX vs ENG is giving huge playoff hockey vibes. 020
