These roses are dying but one of them happened to be strangely iridescent.

Close up of one red rose union a bouquet, the outermost petals are significantly wilted, the center is a bright orange-red, and the petals inbetween form an iridescent purple ring.

I'm watching a video about Windows NT while eating lunch and my wife comes to my desk while this frame is up, bursts out laughing, and takes a picture with her phone "cause people need to see what I deal with"

Thought I'd look for some other dev conferences to go to instead of GDC, knowing there are a few local... and ... okay yeah no. And I thought GDC was expensive.

Lasted 8 months before another spicy pillow. Entirely my fault for treating this laptop like a gaming desktop, it's also overdue for retirement.

Two of our senior cats passed this year, so we adopted two shelter kitties. Meet Moira and Ramona.

Chester joined his sister yesterday, after a struggle with anemia and kidney failure that caused him to lose most of his sight over the past few weeks. But he had a good day and passed in his favorite place, in my arms.

Accidentally tore my keyboard's flat flex cable when reassembling, so I tried to repair it myself.. and it worked.

Orange flat flex cable, 20+ pins, which has an angular bend where the traces are compacted. Pins 1 and 2 are severed here, being right in the bend. Plastic has been scraped away to expose the copper of the traces both before and after the break.

Same orange flex cable, only now with two incredibly tiny strands of copper wire poorly soldered to the previously exposed copper traces. The work surface was my wallet as the cable was still attached to the keyboard PCB and could not lay flat on the table.

The ribbon cable inside a UV nail polish curing device, as the copper wire, traces, and solder joints have been covered with a UV-cured nail polish top coat for protection.

We said farewell to Haze today. He had just turned 16 yesterday, a milestone we were hoping he'd make it to with his declining health.

Meryl passed on yesterday. She was such an intense part of my life, as anyone can see from what I post here. 17 years of such intense companionship and love that none other has ever come close too. I will forever miss her.

That's the thing, I know for a fact donating anything isn't going to get the DNC to do shit. The audacity.

Portion of an email from ActBlue: if you knew contributing $5 to the Democratic National Committee meant we could stop Republicans from passing massive tax cuts for billionaires while cutting Medicare, Medicaid and critical programs like Head Start -- wouldn't you donate it right away?

Our hearse from a trunk-or-treat last week. Happy Halloween 🎃

Side view of a hearse decorated with various Halloween insignia, it's back door is open and an inflatable snake is towering out the back. A neon- like witch hat sign is in the side window and an inflatable black cat and ghost are on the ground near the front

View into the back of the hearse, it's door decorated and opened to the left. The inflatable snake rises out of the back and extends deep into the hearse where there are red/purple lights and fog. The floor of the bed is fake turf and has jack o lanterns strewn about. There are pothos plants above the door with their vines hanging down.
