it is a bit less intimidating in person though

these look shockingly similar to some of mine

I'm not sure which flowers these are exactly, maybe roses? but they're a very vivid red with lots of bokeh, I get artsy vibes from this one

also no idea which flower this is, but it's another pretty red one, this time on its own among some grass

my favourite racing livery is still this silly little thing from williams

I was thinking:

two identical spider-men pointing at each other, you know the one

joining in the soupposting

downloaded axios and now I see this, what do I do

a desktop computer with the side panel removed. there's an ikea rat inside

really neat tesuji from a game I just played, black to play and save that clump of stones (crossing my fingers that bluesky decides to show this to my three followers who play go)

a screenshot of a go board with black to play, and there's a clump of black stones with only two liberties left. I don't know how to explain the position well enough that you can find the winning move without seeing the board, but I promise it's really cool

I'm still very happy with my silly lil tree one

TIL google will send you an email if enough people click through to your site from google search??

screenshot of an email from google search impact, there's a big sparkly hexagon with the number 15 in the middle, and underneath it says "Congratulations! Your site reached 15 clicks from Google Search in the past 28 days"

love these goofy little fuckers

two birds, one black and one white, in front of a computer go board. the black bird is somehow crying, sweating, and grimacing all at once, and the white bird has its hands on its hips, pulling an expression that I think is smug but I honestly can't quite put into words

do they have sakeru gum

a screenshot from the "long long man" commercials for sakeru gum, it's a man eating a comically long pink sweet while he stares into the camera

oh yeah great design, I didn't want to use those other sockets anyway

a tp-link range extender that I'm using as a wifi bridge, plugged into a double row power strip. the range extender is a single unit with an integrated plug, and it's so big it blocks three extra sockets when it's plugged in

you heard me

the inside of a new renault 5; attached to the centre console is an adorably out of place wicker basket, long and thin to accommodate the baguette sitting inside it

this one :3 headless ibanez thing, would complement my partsbuilt tele nicely I think

I wonder what these people would say about CERN's presentation on the discovery of the higgs boson

a slide from CERN's presentation on the discovery of the higgs boson, there are some graphs and some statistics but notably everything is in colourful boxes and typeset in comic sans

my first time winning a go game, through sheer luck but I sense a potential new fixation
