Haven't posted in forever, but I did go and side quest into learning how to make jewelry and start a side business selling at local markets

Uh hi, I'm still alive! Been offline doing stuff. Randomly got into making jewelry and recently started an online shop!

Had a productive weekend taking some different metal working classes at a local maker space this weekend.

A photo of two copper cuffs. The bottom one has a blue patina and some folds. The top one is a heat patina with a texture pressed and a contour.

Two steel bars that were blacksmithed. The bottom one is a random bar with test hammer marks on it. The top is a "j hook" with scroll work on the hook and a twist applied.

Started a new project this weekend! Crochet sounded like a fun thing to do instead of doom scrolling while I watch TV. But feeling a little frustrated counting and tracking stitches. I imagine it'll get easier as I develop the skill?

I won't pass up this opportunity to post my tattoo of a cardinal I got memorializing my grandmom! It was her favorite bird.

An acquisition was made today

The cover of "Wilderness USA", a cloth cover with a green binding. The cover shows a vaguely caveman like representation of elk on a prairie. The book is placed on a coffee table consisting of a slice of a tree in black enamel.

Last night while driving home I found some strays running around. A little chaotic, but got a vet to scan for their chips and they made it safely home! They were so good! They literally just jumped in my car when I opened my door!

ok, maybe that's the example i should use. sorry, trying to find an example without showing any business logic :P So we're defining a generic type `S`, which is any object which contains `{id?: number}`. so like, `{foo: 5, id: 4}` would satisify that.

more typescript generic function examples

210

John Kidd @johnkidd.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

so like we have a function that does. We're declaring that addModel works with an object, o, which is of type T. We first defined type T to be anything... god this is a mess of an explanation, isnt it?

a snippet of typescript code that has generic types. it is dealing with a object relation model between a Typescript class instance and a SQL database record.

Ok, I actually really dig this little film real thing Google auto generated for me

Selfies of a white man with dark hair and glasses wearing a gray jacket over a red white and blue shirt. The photos are arranged like they're in a film realm teeth showing in the first one.

Lol ok these Google generated pop images are kinda amusing. I think I'm happy with how this one came out.

First thanksgiving alone. Definitely felt depressed waking up, but checked into my hotel and got brunch. It is nice to be out of that house. Going to walk around and explore downtown, maybe read in a park or something.

Is this either of the systems on the "voyager pulsar map" represented by the two lines very close to each other? Maybe the bottom one?

An attempt at relearning how to cook for one. Plant based steak is meh, but the rest is good!

nice! one day i might try to challenge my artist with a specific one, but i'm in the process of healing a watercolor of a generic nebula/galaxy (there may have been a little miscommunication of terms, but i'm happy with how it's coming out!)

The remaining two from that day. Somewhere I have an image I tried to stitch together of a hawk in flight, but having some trouble tracking that one down.

A Harris Hawk perched on top of a cactus with its wings spread out. The hawk is looking down. The lighting isn't great, but you can see some interesting detail on the underside of the wing feathers.

It's #TalonTuesday? Here are my favorite photo's I took of a raptor. This is a Harris Hawk at the raptor free flight show at Tucson's Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum a few years back. #bird

A harris hawk mid flight. The hawk is banking, the wings are down in the flap cycle. The bird's right wing is cut out of the left edge of the frame. The hawk is looking to the right of the photographer.
