Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 22/09/2026I’m still really sad I left my old job after less than a year there but I simply could not say no to the piles of VC cash being flung around in the space industry right now. That said, first day at the new job was awesome. I’m gonna like this I think. 021
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 18/09/2026Bought another car. I don't think a lot of people realize how much I actually love 60s American cars. Owning a nailhead Buick of this era has actually been a dream of mine for decades. I'm so incredibly happy with this thing. 2120

Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 19/06/2026I wasn’t sure I’d ever get my passion for working on shit that goes into space back after how badly my last job beat it out of me but holy fuck I’m having so much fun at my current job. I’m doing so much cool shit and working with so many cool people. This is the dream. 040

Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 29/05/2026When I parted ways with my former employer, I wished them all the success that they deserved. That was genuine. A company that treats employees the way they treated people is not setting themselves up for success. A certain "anomaly" this evening was unfortunately very validating to see. 240

Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 02/05/2026Back in December I decided to start playing GTA3 again, which spiraled into beating the only three GTA games that matter 100%, finally concluding tonight. Took a bit only playing ~1hr a day most days due to being busy with life things. Feels incredibly surreal to be done. 060

Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 21/03/2026So excited I found another new dumbass hobby that allows me to lowball even more eBay sellers with broken garbage for me to get mad at. Video cred @sablepausch.bsky.social 091
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 13/03/2026I don't really like doomscrolling on here so I'm just gonna pop in every so often and post some weird camera shit and disappear before I get tempted to get sucked into actually scrolling. 2150
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 07/03/2026Hell yeah one more day and the clock on my stove will be correct again 110
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 06/03/2026I do load the Arri with film that actually works sometimes 042
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 02/03/2026This one is too good to let die on my instagram story so I'm preserving it here 38211
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 25/12/2025Last night @grolar.bsky.social hosted a little darkroom party and man I forgot how much fun doing real prints with an enlarger is. I really need to find a space to set up at least one of mine again. 0194
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 08/12/2025One thing I didn't factor into working remote is that for the first time in my adult life I don't have access to a printer at work or school to abuse. I've made it this far in life without ever having owned a printer but I am afraid I'm going to finally have to cave 😭 140
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 02/12/2025It’s kind of wild to me that tipping culture doesn’t extend to flight attendants. Like a good FA can totally make or break a flying experience and it would be profoundly weird if I just handed them five bucks or whatever. 240
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 19/11/2025Anyway since I'm apparently around here for a bit again I'm finally back to shooting 4x5 so please enjoy this photo of my cat 0132
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 19/11/2025My efforts to get a new job have paid off but now I have two offers I cannot decide between aaaaaaaaaa I know this is the *good* problem to have but they're very apples to oranges jobs 160
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 17/11/2025Every few months I get a random desire to use some sort of social media again so I guess here we are. I will probably be back for maybe two days and depart again. 140
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 01/09/2025I had to kill off the rest of a roll of 16mm 50D in the Arriflex so naturally I just used it to film playing with my cat. 071
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 31/08/2025I don't have a lot of positive things to say about Sleep Token but one thing I can say is that because a lot of dating apps let you share the music you like, it's a really convenient immediate red flag for a left swipe. 040
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 30/08/2025I never post anything anymore which has generally been good for my mental health but I'm planning to start doing some things and stuff and I'm putting together a website for said things and stuff so I guess I get to have a cool username on here now. 140
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 10/06/2025I don’t really ever post anything here anymore but I actually did successfully shoot a roll of 16mm which I’m pretty proud of. This is just a raw scan of the whole roll as proof the camera actually worked before shooting stuff I actually care about. 4205
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 11/04/2025Airlines should give you a discount if you book a flight while you’re currently on a flight 021
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 11/04/2025Funny thing about a flight between Seattle and Nashville is you can very easily tell who is from Seattle and who is from Nashville 070

Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 31/03/2025I put new wheels on the truck yesterday, and my body has rewarded me lifting heavy things with my right arm being partially numb today. I ❤️ aging and dying. 040
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 29/03/2025Alright it’s officially new hyperfixation hobby time 170
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 25/03/2025In contemplating all the ways I could spend the truck money besides paying off a bunch of debt and at least slightly fixing my long term financial situation, I've become obsessed with shooting 16mm film instead. 010
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 23/03/2025Some advice for friends who also hoard trash cars like I do: Keep comprehensive insurance on your vehicles even if you aren't actively driving them. Take liability off and you're saving 90% of the bill anyway. But keeping comp means you'll still get paid out if something happens. 181
Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 20/03/2025Scored a $500 bag for $100 because it's kinda veiny for some reason 040

Darren @rustyspeednut.roadsoda.fun · 26/02/2025One of the least good things I’ve come home to in a while. I really wish these once in a lifetime weather events would stop happening every few months. 180
