Last night's supermoon was stunning! The next supermoon that will be this big and this bright (and even closer to the Earth!) will be on Christmas Eve, 2026. Photos taken with a Pixel 8 through an 8" Dobsonian with a 30mm SuperView eyepiece.

A very large and bright moon with a line of clouds below. The light from the moon is reflected on the clouds. There are trees on the left side of the image. The moon is slightly hidden behind tree branches.

The moon at 1x magnification through a telescope. The lower edge of the moon is in focus and the upper edge is slightly blurry. The image has been flipped to counteract the inversion of the telescope.

The moon at 2x phone magnification through a telescope. The right edge of the moon is cut off. The image has been flipped to counteract the inversion of the telescope.

Trying to decide if I'm exhausted from doing too much or if I'm getting sick because I decided to go out in public over the weekend.

Uhhh... someone posted my blog post to Hacker News and now I'm at the top of the page? I can tell you I was NOT prepared for that today. The stats, they're totally blown up now. (I appreciate it ❤️)

My blog post on "Translating OpenStreetMap data to HTML5 Canvas with Rust and WebAssembly" at the top of Hacker News.

I didn't expect my word of the day generator to come up with something like this, but some Googling tells me it's a real thing?

Sometimes I use Google Bard to create dummy text that's more than just lorem ipsum for testing purposes... today I think it made a joke?

Me: Write a short post about Star Wars

Bard: I'm unable to help, as I am only a language model and don't have the ability to process and understand that.

Cancelled my Kindle Unlimited subscription because it's way too expensive and I'd rather read through my backlog of analog books, but still can't help but feel this way when my KU books disappear:

Oops, it's me. Every year. Replace "temperature blanket" with "blog 3x a week". Barely hanging on and it's *checks calendar* the 3rd. Also, my entire body is dying from lifting weights yesterday. 🫠

There's gotta be a woman out there somewhere who is trying to do a temperature blanket and an embroidery journal and a daily meditation and keep a diary and log all her meals and meet her Goodreads goal and do 1k outside and she's probably in the middle of a panic attack rn
