My home away from home for the next month

Some more pics

Life goal unlocked... I got a backstage tour of an old-fashioned #bowling alley!

First big project of 2026 finished - this adjustable-angle laser-cut #bookstand for my Myst book!

There's a * because of two things: for one, we don't count bites/scratches she does when we're trimming her claws because she just hates that so much, understandably so, so she gets a pass for then. We also don't count times she tried to bite/swipe but we moved our hand out of the way quicker than she could get to it, so it's not 3 months without attempts, just 3 months without successes. Still, for someone once labelled a Grumpy Cat, it's a big improvement!

This week marks 3 months since Lana has bitten or scratched anyone* and we're so proud of our cranky, judgy, blep-y little girl #Catsofmastodon

I can confirm that if you order a #Milo McFlurry from McDonald's with 5x the amount of Milo, it comes with what I consider the correct amount of Milo to put on your ice cream.

SO MUCH MILO

Oscillating pedestal fans are like a time share of being cool

Went to see Australia's largest #Christmas tree. 45m/148ft high, 50,000 lights, took them 6 months to wire it up!

Did you ever think that quiz shows are really just "who's the most autistic" competitions?

It's Lana's birthday this week! She is a 14 year old baby cat and forever a kitten ♥️ #catsofmastodon

If you've ever wondered what it's like to actually drive a DeLorean, The Stig recently reviewed one... And actually kinda liked it (though he undersold just how much attention you get!)

Presented without comment as I'm not revealing what it is until it arrives, but ohh boy am I excited! #JimHenson

Received an email from myself, from 20 years ago, in a time capsule... Happy to say I've done most things I listed!

Watching Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters.. The percentage of people in this audience with dyed hair is notably higher than the norm

What's that? Just myself & an Andotrope featured on the front cover of The Official Raspberry Pi Handbook 2026!

With a feature on page... Wait for it... 67 *waves hands* https://magazine.raspberrypi.com/books/official-raspberry-pi-handbook-2026

Is it just me or do these boxes of resealable bags look like #VHS tape boxes?

Happy Mol Day! :D

(Confused? At 6:22 today it was 6:22 10/23. 1 mol, a chemistry constant, is 6.022e23. Yes it's reaching. Yes I'm THAT much of a nerd :p )

Also taking the opportunity to pimp that this nerd owns the domain name http://6.022e23.com

I just saw a car done up like the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee.

It drove right in front of me.

And I watched it get done for speeding through the intersection I was waiting at.
