Finally started playing Skate Story and not only is it one of the most beautiful games you'll ever see but it FEELS great. I wouldn't normally gravitate toward a skateboarding game but it's very accessible, get it while it's on sale!

Looked into getting a MEM vending machine which is very reasonably sized but the bidding starts at $1500! So we decided if we can raise $1000 we’ll cover the rest. Donate here! venmo.com/code?user_id...

Looking into making a giant trackball. Something like 8-10” in diameter. Anyone have references for something like this? Would prefer to use rotary encoders instead of an optical mouse so thinking roller bearings on the underside. Sketch by @just404it.bsky.social

We're overdue for ConEd oversight. We lost power for 48 hours in January and our bill is HIGHER than usual? How do they keep getting away with this? @chiosse.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social i'm sure we're not the only ones affected by loss of revenue due to ConEd's negligence.

Something I love about @wonderville.nyc is the interesting ways we find solutions to seemingly simple problems. We lost the remote to the projector in the bar and can't seem to find a replacement, so we launched a server and now have a web app to turn the projector on and off via localhost.

It’s unbelievably hard to buy a dumb monitor. I’m searching for a 55” monitor with HDMI that turns on automatically and doesn’t connect to the internet or have any apps. Just play the signal. Do these even exist anymore?
