> Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop > Clocking in for the day > Prevailing mood Okay, so, am I fixing ships or...

The time clock machine from the game "Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop." To the left and to the right are three slots for timecards, the names cut out due to the square cropping.

In the center area, the upper left contains a pixelated photo of Tremolo (added in via Photoshop) and the upper right is a punch lever. A small circular camera hole is below the lever handle, and a punch card slot is below the pixelated photo.

There's a bolted-on panel in the center bottom. The panel contains a progress bar, filled to 2/20, labeled 'Employment Security.' Below that is a text area labeled 'Prevailing Mood,' which displays 'Horny.'

One of the small things I love about the holidays is new Tupperware.

A wire dish drying basket. Spoons, spatula, and knives are in the utensil basket hanging from the whole basket. A cutting board, plate, a ceramic bowl, a glass bowl, a mortar, and four Cool Whip lids and bottoms are in the main drying basket.

So, this mural has such great intentions... Except that I had to use a colorblind filter on my phone after snapping a photo to actually read it.

A mural of a low poly style flower of various colors on a building in Pittsburgh's Strip District. In low-contrast text a few shades away from the mural's colors in a sans serif font, the mural reads "The future belongs to those who can see it."

While it's probably readable for normal-sighted people, the areas that were in green or red were unreadable to me (i.e. the N in 'can').

I made a "Mango Float" Charlotte for my cousin's birthday today. An accident smushed the original top so the mango rosettes and mint leaves were a plan B. (Pastry: ladyfingers; layers: Graham cracker, whipped condensed milk/cream, diced mangoes; decorations: mint, mango roses, cream Chantilly)

The cake shot from the top. Whipped cream rosettes border the circular top of the cake. Arranged in the center of the cake are three rosettes made of thin mango slices brushed with clear gelatin. Mint leaves are placed around the mango rosettes.

A picture of the cake's side. Due to the original top being smushed, some whipped condensed milk/cream seeped out between the ladyfingers that make the sides of the Charlotte. A gold ribbon is tied around the cake.

iOS does not recognize the 'Wi-Fi Network' NFC record and falls back to the 'URL' record, which takes you to the Markdown file. On iOS devices supporting Live Text, tapping and holding the QR code presents a "Join Network" option in the context menu.

Atop the iPhone screen, a 'Website NFC Tag' notification displays when the "Shuttle Access" card is brought close to the top of the phone. Clicking the notification will 'Open "1drv.ms" in Safari.'

The Markdown file from before, which OneDrive automatically presents and formats.

After tapping and holding on the QR code, "Join Network" is shown as the bottom-most option in the context menu.

When the card is tapped on an Android device with NFC, it asks if you want to connect to the network.

After using one (of many in a stack) of blank NFC "Shuttle Access" cards I received from #FurryMigration 2024, a Markdown file I've uploaded on OneDrive with a view-only link, and NFC Tools; my home visitors using iOS/Android devices can connect to my guest Wi-Fi network.

A "Shuttle Access" ISO 14443-3A (NXP - Mifare Classic 1k) card received at Furry Migration 2024.

A screenshot of the Markdown file uploaded to OneDrive with a view-only link, which OneDrive will render:

# Welcome to our home!

![A QR code to connect to the 'Guest Network' Wi-Fi network.](data:image/png ... )

To use our Internet, please use these credentials:

* **Wi-Fi SSID**: Guest Network
* **Password**: a kitty boykisser

On compatible iOS devices you may tap and hold on the QR code to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

A screenshot of NFC Tools's "Write" tab with two records: a 'Wi-Fi Network' record for the Guest Network and a 'URL' record for the view-only OneDrive link to the Markdown file. The 'Wi-Fi Network' record is above the 'URL' record so compatible devices (like Android) will use the 'Wi-Fi Network' record first before falling back to the 'URL' record.

SwiftKey keyboard on Android integrated Microsoft Copilot support to adjust tone and compose text for you. It's, well, uh, hm.

A screenshot of the compose window from SwiftKey keyboard. It's been asked to write about "Explain the concept of arming and disarming aircraft doors in furry speak" in a "Furry" tone, an "Email" format, and of "Medium" length. The generated preview text is:

"Hewwo! ✈️ When we tawk about arming and disarming aiwcraft doors, we're discussing a vewy impawtant safety pwocedure, uwu! Arming the doors means pweparing the emergency slides to deploy if needed when the plane is parked. Disarming is just the opposite, making sure the slides won't pop out when we open the door after landing. It's wike putting on your harness before going on an adventuwe, and taking it off when you're safe back home! Stay safe, fwiends! 🐾"

Had a great impromptu Fil-Am Furrypinos meet-up last night. I was very happy to see them to eat together, sample some guapple and pitaya (dragonfruit) wines, and then walk/planes pot afterwards. Can't wait to do more and find more balahibros here in the states to join us!

Three containers of white rice, two containers of adobo rice, two containers of gravy, a tray of pancit palabok, a cardboard carry-out box with handles full of Chickenjoy fried chicken (not showing from the box), three peach mango pies, and two ube pies.

Boarding music that cycles from the songs from Gen I-Gen IX. Pokémon-branded napkins and glassware. And the normal pleasant ANA experience. This is very nice.

* A napkin and cutlery roll-up wrapped in plastic, various condiments like wasabi, noodle sauce, and shredded nori.

* Shrimp tempura and veggies over rice with sauce drizzle, roast beef and cheese cubes over herbed orzo, a second serving of the wilted greens and tuna.

As a departure from my current style of site, which is simple as well as sterile and dated, I'm thinking of making my personal site resemble more like the Pokémon Scarlet/Violet Pokédex, in addition to adding hooks to the Fediverse along with Bluesky.

A screenshot of website layout sketches done on Microsoft OneNote. The "Desktop" sketch features a top header bar with hamburger menu button on the left, the text "Tremolo" to the right of the hamburger menu button, and the current date/time on the right; a bottom footer bar with icons on the right; and a center content area comprised of three logical columns (from left to right): a sketch of Tremolo from chest level up, an hCard/vCard presented like a badge ID card, and a "Recent Posts" shown as a column of clickable tiles.

A square below that shows a sketch of the background: a tiling image of diagonal text angled upward 45°, with the words "Hello Nihao Bonjour." Below that square are sketches of the site on narrow width devices, like phones in Portrait mode, showing one column at a time, with the sketch of Tremolo as the backdrop.

Felt lazy; decided to make hotdish for the next 2-3 days. It's a "Mushroom Cheeseburger" hotdish with ground turkey as the protein, pan-roasted herbed riced cauliflower as the "starch," and crimini mushrooms as the vegetable. Seasoned with generous amounts of garlic, Italian seasoning, and cheese.

"Mushroom Cheeseburger" hotdish in a 9" × 13" metal pan atop a stove. The top is covered in golden-browned cheese dusted with garlic powder, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

A passenger who wrote this book gave me this book. It is a mood.

Way 36 and 37 of the book: "Tell a flight attendant to smile," and "Pretend you have a personal servant."

The cover of the book _99 Ways to Make a Flight Attendant Fly—Off the Handle!_ by JoAnn Kuzma Deveney. "Not endorsed by any airline," this "guide for the novice or oblivious air traveler" has a comment from Neal St. Anthony, Columbus Minneapolis StarTribune, on the bottom part of the cover: "Tales from the passenger cabin are a must-read!"

The cover illustration features a flight attendant with their knees together spilling a coffee pot in their left hand and holding their head with their right hand, all while keeping a smile that radiates "forced." In the background are caricatures of various irked passengers and a plane.

My new blood glucose monitor is basically an Android device with a headphone jack and it's taking everything within me to not `adb` into it.

A BioTel Care blood glucose monitoring system's front touchscreen held in the left hand. On the screen is a modified Android interface with an application bar, connection status symbols, battery level, and current time on top. On the application bar there's a hamburger menu on the top-left corner, the current app name on the top-middle, and a help button on the upper-right. Below that application bar is the device's name: "Bwuwudsuckew-chan." Below the device name is a green circle with the last BGM reading of "125 mg/dL" and below that is a curved line with blue/green/yellow/red areas showing levels of low/in-target/out-of-target/high, respectively; a white dot near the right edge of green shows the last-clogged reading. Information about the last reading is below the line, and the bottom of the screen has icons for "Test Mode" on the lower-left, the App Drawer on the lower-middle, and "Add Log" on the lower-right. Immediately below the screen is a physical Home button.

Turns out I could use the most current version of OpenSans licensed under the OFL if I just didn't modify the font file. Which is a sacrifice in that I would've preferred WOFF/2, but TTF works fine.
