Hi everyone, I'm extremely proud to present "Stillness", my first new photo series in over 4 years. Working on art has been incredibly difficult for a long time, so I am incredibly happy to be able to see this through to completion. Thank you so much for your support, I could not do it otherwise.

SFPD officers did not issue dispersal orders immediately before arresting 18 people at the “Stud Alley” party over Pride weekend, according to internal police documents and body camera footage. from @frankiesd.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/09/stud...

SFPD records and footage raise questions about legality of Pride weekend arrests
SFPD statements claim cops gave dispersal orders before making arrests. Internal police report and bodycam footage suggest otherwise.

last night (5am that is) I felt inspired to turn on the HPLC that I haven't touched in two years and guess what – turns out having 30 years old lab equipment around is much more fun when I can have Fable around as my lab assistant to work out the methodology together :o
My workhorse Waters 600 HPLC that I haven't really used in a while because turns out, using Windows 2000 era lab equipment is frustrating most of the time. She is still going strong tho, and it is kinda incredible that this system still works as well as it does.It used to really suck to use the Empower software for everything, but now I can just set it up via VNC to collect raw data from the PDA and claude code is pulling the data in as the sample runs. Here is a visualization of a 1:10 diluted sample of Celsius energy drink, with a 85:15 water:acetonitrile, isocratic mobile phase.

all this preparation and yet we were not prepared for how spectacular the real thing would be. we kept getting distracted from our controls because nature and rain and sunlight produced ever new effects we could not have possibly imagined ✨🌚🌞 (photo 1 & 2 by @charlotte.fyi )

first time I used blender to fully model the installation around a 3D scan of the dancefloor from last year. 100s of hours of work, but soo worth it in terms of coming prepared and being able to do a lot of the programming and jamming ahead of time 👩‍💻

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.

Neat! Yeah I originally wanted to build a PoE version that can just wholesale live in a little outdoor enclosure but getting the antenna signal through my window is actually much easier than a full-blown Ethernet connection
Multiband GNSS antenna mounted on my balcony with a little 3D printed shroud20cm long FPC with 2 u.Fl connectors mounted at either end. 50 Ohm nominal impedance.

Here's how the "PTP GM on a stick" project looks like right now. Have had this sitting around for months now, really need to push it to a fab some time.
KiCad 3D view of a PCB. USB C connector, Ethernet port, ClikMate expansion header. A mezzanine board with a u-blox LEA GNSS receiver is plugged into an Amphenol BergStak 0.8 connector.

A footprint for a TCXO (with a PCB cutout as a thermal moat) is visible in the backSame PCB without the daughter card.

AWS, Azure and Google Cloud built customer-facing carbon footprint dashboards not because any law required it (it still doesn't) but bc enough large customers asked about the carbon intensity of their service. so why don't you ask that question on Slack next time your company holds an "AI week"? ;)

if you find yourself in this category; i highly recommend github.com/gwittebolle/... the CO2 footprint is about what you'd expected (not great; not terrible. about one domestic flight / year). what's interesting is keeping track of token cost and being reminded the plans are 10x substituted

one of my favorite cheeky papers, from 1999, is this one where the authors argue that sometimes it is better to simply wait and do nothing, because your astrophysical simulations will complete faster if you simply wait for the next epoch of compute arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph...
We show that, in the context of Moore's Law, overall productivity can be increased for large enough computations by 'slacking' or waiting for some period of time before purchasing a computer and beginning the calculation.

Unfortunately, there are groups of children going into the woods and digging up large parts of it, sawing down trees and causing ASB.
This is a CONSERVATION AREA and is being destroyed by this type of behaviour.
Officers will be patrolling the area more and taking details of those found committing any of the above. 
Today, two young males were found with a spade, digging up more of the land. They were sent home and guardians spoken with
